![This is a work of collaboration. [Scroll to the end to see the work in progress]
I had the absolute honor and pleasure of being invited by the amazingly talented Sofia Ferreira to film one of her installations in her series of Blue. Sofia is far more than a floral designer and creative director - she's a whirlwind of ideas and inspiration, of hard work and generous teachings, of cuss words and temperament (like a true Porto woman).
Her other half André Teixeira creates photographs with an eye for detail and the utmost dedication, which turns each photo into a work of art - stylish and true, elegant and classy, without ever trying too hard.
The two of them have made a habit out of opening their space, the amazing studio they have built in the outskirts of Porto, to their colleagues and friends and acquaintances from the world of weddings, photography and design. They have been a beacon of shared education and a constant exchange of ideas that have made this industry better, one cocktail at a time.
And because life isn't just filming beautiful weddings and chatting with colleagues, then there's Octavio. Octavio The Octopus is very dear to my heart. I made him with my own hands, during an arduous and challenging several-month-long process, only shortly after having put my hands on clay for the very first time. It wouldn't have been possible for me to bring him to life without the guidance and teachings of the dear Maria Ulecia, ceramicist extraordinaire, choral companion and incredibly-direct-and-brutally-honest pottery teacher.
And then there's my wife, who taught me throughout the years that sometimes you have to grab an idea by the horns and turn it into opportunity, without caring too much about "good sense" or perfect timing. And to shake plastic foil in front of lights to make water.
Thank you Sofia, thank you André, thank you María and thank you my love, from the bottom of the ocean/ my heart.

!["Andorinha Films is the best choice you can make for your day, have no doubts!" 🤩 [scroll through the images for the rest of the review]
Thank you so much for the kind words, Carla and Pedro! After oohing and ahhhing and blushing, testimonials like this always make me feel immensely proud of my work. 🥰 I am so happy that my brides and grooms feel the same emotional connection to my videos as I do! Thank you from the bottom of my heart to everyone that trusts me with their precious memories!
🇵🇹 "A Andorinha Films é a melhor escolha que podem fazer para o vosso dia, não tenham dúvidas!
Conhecemo-la no casamento dos nossos afilhados e a dinâmica connosco e com os restantes convidados foi extraordinária! Quando chegou o nosso dia, a Melanie brindou-nos com a sua simpatia, alegria e paciência. Não poderíamos estar mais satisfeitos com o resultado, temos o registo da nossa família e amigos, das suas reações, os momentos mais intimistas. A cereja no topo do bolo foi a banda sonora com que as imagens foram conjugadas, simplesmente especial.
Seremos sempre gratos por os nossos caminhos se terem cruzado!"
