Weddings
“The mask we present to others and too often to ourselves may lift for only a second - to reveal that power in an unconsious gesture, a raised brow, a surprised response, a moment of repose. THIS is the moment to record.” Yousef Karsh, one of the most famous and accomplished portrait photographers of all time.
Sian and Eliza of Thomson Films will be there for that second in time, to reveal yourselves, your affection, your nervous energy, your playful expressions, and your quiet repose to tell the story of your wedding day in a stirring and passionate way. We will even capture the details you didn’t see while celebrating your life’s greatest moment. We won’t just take your photos, we will make them.
We believe that happiness in marriage is not something that just happens. A good marriage must be created. In the Art of Marriage: The little things are the big things. It is never being too old to hold hands. It is remembering to say ‘I love you’ at least once a day. It is never going to sleep angry. It is at no time taking the other for granted; the courtship should not end with the honeymoon, it should continue through all the years. It is having a mutual sense of values and common objectives. It is standing together facing the world. It is forming a circle of love that gathers in the whole family. It is doing things for each other, not in the attitude of duty or sacrifice, but in the spirit of joy. It is speaking words of appreciation and demonstrating gratitude in thoughtful ways. It is not expecting the husband to wear a halo or the wife to have wings of an angel. It is not looking for perfection in each other. It is cultivating flexibility, patience, understanding and a sense of humor. It is having the capacity to forgive and forget. It is giving each other an atmosphere in which each can grow. It is finding room for the things of the spirit. It is a common search for the good and the beautiful. It is establishing a relationship in which the independence is equal, dependence is mutual and the obligation is reciprocal. It is not only marrying the right partner, it is being the right partner.
Thank you for inviting us to capture the art of the moment and more importantly, the art of your marriage. May beauty surround you both in the journey ahead and through all the years.
