I love it when clients follow your work for so long and then they just want to celebrate who they are together and you’re the chosen person to bring that light into reflection. I love it when people celebrate love beyond weddings and continue to session up after getting married, having kids, or even before so. Sometimes life just needs celebration for no reason and that’s what this was and I loved every minute of it. These two are now a family of three and I still love these photos immensely for the memories they bring me, of a moment where love and having fun is all that really matters.

These two are like an explosion of quiet in the chaos. They are so uniquely and intrinsically entrailed in each other that the world dissipates when they touch. I've become so found of their love the past few months, and that does not happen very often. To be honest I am a fan of how they live their life, the love their have for their friends and family and I am still quite in love with this afternoon they chose from scratch. When they asked me if we could head over to a fair to shoot the session I was like "what?". I mean this is too cool and it's going to rock my world. I've always wanted to shoot in a fair but as I saw that not many couples would go for that idea, I just kind of dropped it a few years back, and quietly gave it a bit up. To me this sounds like fate right? You wouldn't believe how fate plays such a huge part in the life of these two. The following photographs are to me simple quietness and color in a world that is only theirs, yet it's a world that is beyond inviting, full of kindness and acceptance and rock and roll. I love them. I truly do. Discover for yourself few of the hundreds of reasons why. 

Rita and João got married almost two years ago and I still can't get their day out of my head. It is still one of my favourite days I've ever been able to document. I remember the feeling of adventure I had for shooting in such a cool location, different from the usual quintas and I just truly wish it would never end. And that mostly because it was the feeling everybody pretty much shared on that epic day. A few weeks prior we met yet again to shoot a bit in a place they love. It was simple yet a moment they owned with every bit of their personality which I love. Here's a few of my favourite. 

Mal posso acreditar que esta sessão já foi há tanto, tanto tempo. Lembro-me como se fosse hoje a primeira mensagem que troquei com a Susana, e o quanto ela me fez sentir especial por aquilo que faço. O dia foi tão bonito num sítio especial para eles, um sítio onde planeio muitos outros projectos por ser dos meus preferidos também. Já merecia ser partilhado. Aqui está.
