Weddings have never interested me as ceremonies alone. What fascinates me are the small moments that happen around them: the nervous smile before the dress is fastened, a father’s silent pride, friends laughing together, hands reaching for each other, unexpected tears, and the quiet pauses between all the celebrations.

My approach has always been documentary rather than staged. Instead of directing people, I preferred to observe them, allowing each wedding to unfold naturally. Every image became part of a story, not just a collection of beautiful portraits.

Looking back at these photographs, I realise they were never really about weddings. They were about people, relationships and the fleeting emotions that exist only for a few seconds before disappearing forever.
