THE BRIDE AND A BLUE PIGEON: A COLOURED GUEST FOR A WEDDING PHOTO SHOOTING

I had the great pleasure to be hired as the wedding photographer by a Russian couple who got married in Venice according to the Russian orthodox rites.

After the ceremony was over we enjoyed an informal walking photo shooting along the Venetian alleys. We stopped at Piazza San Marco to make some pictures of the bride feeding the pigeons, which always crowd Venice’s main square…a very typical picture for tourists, you would say.

Well, when I sat down to select and work on the pictures, I realized that this was not the case. I happened to shoot a “special guest” a blue piegon, whose strange skin colour is due to the creativity of Julian Charrière, a Swiss artist who fed about 60 pigeoens with special food to have their skin turning blue, green or even red.

Thanks to him, Venetian people and vistors can enjoy a kind of “pigeons safari” and I had the chance to add a colourful stroke to one of my photos, which I would like to call “The bride and the blue wedding guest“!

HOLDING YOUR HANDS..JUST THE WAY I DO: SHOTS OF COUPLES HANDS

Working as a professional photographer for couple portraits, weddings, engagements, honeymoon and pregnancy portraits, I had several chances to observe how couples hold their hands. This is a sweet habit, very common among different cultures: Russian, Asian and American people hold their hands just like the Europeans do.

At the same time, have you ever noticed that none of them do it in a similar way? I mean, it seems to me that a couple have their own way to hold hands, different from all others.

And there are also thousand ways for brides and grooms to cross and touch hands when they exchange the rings during the wedding ceremony…  

Therefore I like to focus some of my shots during a  couple portrait on this feature, which is so closely related to their personality and feelings, expressing all their uniqueness and tenderness. Two hands holding each other are a very fine mirror of a love story, as you can see from the pictures in this post.
