Fotografo de Bodas, Santiago| Vero y Fernando, Terrazas de la Reina

June 15, 2010

I’m not a particularly sentimental person. Granted, I tear up at weddings all the time. But I never really stop to think about why I’m crying. But after photographing Vero and Fernando’s wedding ceremony — simple and sweet and full of love, I had a moment to take it all in, as I got in the car to drive to Terrazas de la Reina for the reception.

No soy una persona particularmente sentimental. Aun asi, lloro en las bodas todo el tiempo. Pero nunca me detengo a pensar por que estoy llorando. Despues de fotografiar la ceremonia de la boda de la Vero y Fernando — simple, dulce y llena de amor — tuve un momento para considerar todo, mientras iba en el auto hacia las Terrazas de la Reina para la recepcion.

I got so choked up.

Y me emocione.

Really reflecting on what a wedding is stopped me in my tracks. There are over 6 billion people in this world. SIX BILLION PEOPLE. And Vero and Fernando found each other in all the chaos. They found each other and chose to make a vow for life, in front of God, in front of their family, in front of their friends. That’s powerful. And so, so very beautiful.

Realmente reflexionar en lo que es una boda me detuvo en seco. Hay mas de 6 billones de personas en este mundo. SEIS BILLONES. Y Vero y Fernando se encontraron el uno al otro en todo ese caos. Se encontraron el uno al otro y decidieron hacer un voto de por vida, en frente de Dios, en frente de sus familias, en frente de sus amigos. Eso es poderoso. Y muy, muy hermoso.

It hit me like a ton of bricks. We are incredibly blessed to be a part of something so awesome. I was so happy to be there taking pictures. Thank you, Vero and Fernando.

Y me quede para adentro. Realmente somos increíblemente bendecidos por ser parte de algo tan maravilloso. Estaba tan feliz de estar ahi tomando fotos. Gracias, Vero y Fernando.

Loved Veronica’s vintage looking shoes and dress. So cool.

Me encanto el look vintage de los zapatos y vestido. So cool.

Giving the bride tips on how to strut her stuff entering the church. Haha, this shot cracks me up!

Dando a la novia algunas pistas de como caminar por una pasarela entrando a la iglesia. Jaja, esta foto me mata de la risa!

The shot below is my favorite image of the night. Obsessed with it. I think it’s something about the symmetry, because I have the same shot from two steps closer without the white wall on either side and the green plants on either side and it just doesn’t do it for me. And then the way the crosses balance each other out, and there’s one perfect strand of hair falling down Vero’s back. I just love this one. I actually started crying again when I saw it. Sap :)

La foto de abajo es mi foto favorita de toda la noche. Obsesionada con ella. Creo que es algo acerca de la simetria, por que tengo la misma foto desde dos pasos mas cerca sin el muro blanco en ambos lados y las plantas verdes y asi no me produce lo mismo. Es la forma en que las dos cruces se balancean la una con la otra, y un mechon de pelo perfecto cayendo por la espalda de la Vero. Me encanta. De hecho empece a llorar de nuevo cuando la vi.  :)

Would you not be happy too if your job was documenting this kind of happiness?!?

No estarias feliz si tu trabajo fuera documentar este tipo de felicidad??

  7. I remember when i first started looking at your pictures i stereotyped your style as sort of an old photograph look, looking at these photos, which i quite enjoyed (especially the dancing sequence heheh!) i realized how different they are… so bright, crisp. i love the colors and the light. im really glad you posted a picture of that kid crawling around haha. of course the focus of every wedding is the happy couple and i love the detail shots, but i'm sure there are a handful of those little mischievous and oblivious toddlers at each one playing around under the pews or tables at dinner hahah. very cute

  9. Kyle y Sebastian, estamos realmente felices con lo poco que hemos visto del resultado de tu trabajo. Sin duda no nos equivocamos en escogerlos para que documentaran nuestro matrimonio.
    Seguimos dandonos cuenta que cada esfuerzo, cada pelea, cada peso y todo el tiempo que dedicamos a la organización de esta ceremonia, valió absolutamente la pena, a pesar de que muchas veces dudamos de eso.
    Gracias por todo, por tus fotos tu animo y tus lindas palabras.
    Verónica y Fernando

  16. Thanks so much Lydia! I love to hear that you like the way that our work has developed. It's taken me a long time to get here and I'm still a work in progress. But it makes me feel really good to hear you say that, knowing that you've been watching pretty much since the beginning.

  23. YO estoy FELIZ cuando mi trabajo es documentar esa FELICIDAD!!!! de verdad emociona, es lo mismo que escribiste, lo mismo que pienso cada vez que voy a un matrimonio: Lo importante que somos al poder presenciar y documentar el momento maximo, donde estas dos personas, de entre toooooooooooodas las del mundo, se encontraron y se comprometen para pasar el resto de su vida juntos. Es maravilloso.
    Hermosas fotos Kyle, como siempre, me encantan.

  24. What is it with you and photographing the most gorgeous people in the world??? Her dress is killer. I want to get a shorter version of it in black to wear out at night. All of these shots are perfection. The one of them dancing make ME cry!

  29. Wow. Wow wow wow. That dress is stunning! And the photography….wow. I may need to fly you to where ever it is I get married whenever that may happen. Australia or England? Or somewhere in the middle…

    You take such beautiful shots! What I like most is that you just capture the emotions :-) so gorgeous!!

  30. I know, I loved her dress too! One of the definite advantages to living in Chile is that so many brides get really cool custom-made dresses because it's not as absurdly expensive as it would be in the U.S. (or I imagine in Europe or Australia). And I vote that you get married in Australia and we come shoot it there! That's a continent we haven't shot on yet and I hear the light and the brides are beautiful down under :)
