Maceio, Alagoas BW church wedding photography | the bride walks triumphantly into the cathedral

After postponing her wedding day twice, the bride walks triumphantly into the cathedral, where she will finally marry the love of her life. 

This couple originally had plans for a large and lavish wedding with an invite list of more than 250 people. Due to the intended size of their event as well as the lingering effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, they postponed their wedding not just once, but twice. Finally, when the realization set in that their dream wedding would not be possible, but their marriage was within reach, they opted for a smaller affair with their closest family members and friends. This wedding, which took place at the Metropolitan Cathedral of Maceio in Alagoas, Brazil, may not have been the grand affair that they had once imagined. However, what it lacked in size and stature, this event made up for in heart. When it comes to celebrating a marriage, it's truly about quality — not quantity.
