Black & White

At the far end of the vaulted room, the bride and three girls in white.
The bride being dressed by two women, standing by the bed.
From above, hands at the tulle underskirt and the shoes.
Make-up at a hand mirror, among out-of-focus reflections.
At the window, a woman fastens the dress at the bride's back.
From above, the bride in curlers while her feet are tended.
Hands fastening the strap of the sandal.
In front of the mirror, leafing through a magazine beside her own reflection.
The groom laughs as he knots his tie, in braces.
In the dressing room, movement in the foreground and friends behind.
Hair swinging as hands close the dress.
In a robe, the bride made up beside the illuminated star.
In the room set up with lights, the bride in a feather stole.
In a one-shoulder dress, standing in the lamp-lit room.
The make-up artist works on her lips, brush in hand.
Beyond the stair rail, the bride sitting on the steps.
From above, a hand writing a note on the round table.
At the desk by the window, the bride writes.
The ring cushion on the sheet, beside the shoes on the dark floor.
The dress hanging in the window, between wardrobe and mirror.
A face reflected in a small mirror.
The buttonhole flower on the jacket, beside the tailor's label.
The groom tucks in his shirt; beyond the door, another checks the mirror.
From above, hands adjusting the flower band at the wrist.
Hands lift the skirt to arrange the dress.
Forehead to forehead with a woman, the veil backlit.
The bride gets into a small vintage car, before the portico.
Beside the window, the bride with the bouquet in her hands.
In the doorway, two women hold the train of the dress.
Before the arch of flowers, the bouquet in her hands.
Beneath the arch of sabres, through the falling rice.
A kiss among the officers' sabres.
At the doorway, arms raised beneath the sabres.
In the doorway, the couple among the guests and a little girl.
The groom behind an outstretched hand with the ring.
From behind, the couple walk away down the street.
Hands clasped as they walk over the paving.
With a dark bouquet, the bride walks along the street.
The bouquet held at her side, in the middle of the road.
Through the ironwork of a gate, the couple's kiss.
Out of the church doorway, the couple set off.
In the car, the bride laughs beside the groom at the wheel.
In the square, the couple's car between the lined-up guests.
A small car along the gravel road between the cypresses.
Standing in the vintage convertible, the couple's kiss.
From behind, hand in hand, the open back of the dress.
Hand in hand, they walk away down the avenue of cypresses.
They walk hand in hand along the waterfront.
A kiss on the boat in the lagoon, reflected in the roof.
On the boat, a kiss with the city behind.
On the boat, before the Doge's Palace and the campanile.
Inside the water taxi's cabin, side by side.
Along the wooden jetty over the lagoon.
Glasses in hand, close together among the guests.
Three little girls sitting on the stone steps, one with a fan.
A hand with the wedding ring resting on the dress.
An embrace beneath the branches, backlit.
Two performers in top hats backlit, canes in hand.
From behind and blurred, a performer in a top hat.
On the round stage, the couple's dance among the guests.
A kiss among the guests, in the industrial hall.
From behind, arms raised and confetti in the air.
On the dance floor, a kiss among the crowd.
Two women laughing; one raises her glass towards the lens.
On the dance floor, a glass raised among the dancers.
From behind, the bride steps into the cloud of smoke.
Two women singing out loud, the movement blurred.
In the lit garden, the guests dance.
Among the beams of light, a woman with a glass in her hand.
