Categories: Weddings-Real Wedding: Vanessa & Ricardo - Photography by L'amourgraphy Tell us a little about yourselves, what you do, what you love, what is unique about you and your relationship… We met each other a long time ago.

Ricardo is a journalist and three years ago he decided to quit working in a big company to open his own small business: a second hand book shop called Desculpe a Poeira. He has two children, Ernesto and Petra. I am a makeup artist and I teach makeup classes at my own studio, Liceu de Maquiagem. Also I co-host a show on TV, the Brazilian version of What Not To Wear. I have a daughter, Pina.

Tell us about your work and your style:

Probably the best way to describe my style is in my client's words - natural. There is a recurrent theme when people contact me to photograph them and that is that they love how natural my photos appear and how I capture genuine moments. Every wedding is unique and that’s what I get most excited about – capturing a day as it unfolds, all the real moments. I want my couples to feel comfortable being themselves while I take their photos – I encourage laughter and affection and I think that feeling at ease in front of me goes a long way to achieving the natural shots that I get.

Real Wedding: Radi & Blake – by Paris Hawken Photography

Categories: Weddings-Real Wedding: Radi & Blake - by Paris Hawken Photography Tell us a little about yourselves, what you do, what you love, what is unique about you and your relationship… I’m Radi, a Holistic Dietitian and ITA Energy Practitioner/Facilitator at Paynt Your Life and my husband Blake is a business owner for Drainage at ProDrainage. We’ve been together for a little over seven years and were engaged for two years. The day Blake propsed to me,  he asked me to go for a walk at Whiteman Park (a nature reserve close by, where I walk most days), and he got down on one knee as we arrived at the beautiful river. Having no phones on us, this allowed us to enjoy the moment and soak it all in by the time we walked back to our car to share the news with family and friends.
