A book by an author who has been able to give wedding work a cultural and visual path of its own, prising apart every prejudice about the genre. It gathers a selection of his finest images. Unlike other, equally able professionals, being a wedding photographer means for him building a story that is unique and fixed in time, as unique and forever as the couple would want their ceremony to be. But the story he builds is not the one the couple imagined: he does not follow the script, he looks for one of his own, as the writer of the introduction puts it — he is the director of photography of a film that has a telling of its own. What comes out is work able to frame the feelings, the desires and the values with which the people involved invest the so-called finest day of their lives. He lets his images escape the performance of love, the artificial pose and the pretence of happiness, and lets everything run its course.
