Friday 3 May was the most perfect day, celebrating the love of Mélisa and Denis, two of my best friends, with their pup and my godson Nacho. We met exactly a year ago in Salzburg and it has since been the biggest joy to share some of their most special moments together.
I attended their civil wedding in Mannheim as their photographer and Nacho-sitter but also as their dear friend, an honour I will never take for granted. Of the thousands of photos captured, guests willingly grabbing my camera to document the day from their own perspectives too and allowing me the pleasure of sometimes also getting to be photographed.
"A soulmate does not complete you - they inspire you to complete yourself. A soulmate is the person who supports your direction, who motivates and encourages you to stretch, to change, to reinvent yourself until you are happy. A soulmate is someone who loves you with so much conviction, and so much heart, that it is nearly impossible to doubt just how capable you are of becoming exactly who you’ve always wanted to be." - Bianca Sparacino
I did not share the full collection, as it is full of personal memories, but I have shared a few below that I hope captures the essence of the day.
