Marika got ready among the white streets: shoes hanging from a branch of bougainvillea, a pause on the steps of a house with two neighbours, people stopping in the street to greet her.
The ceremony was held in a small stone church, with Marika walking in with her father between banks of white flowers and the guests waiting outside afterwards. Back at the masseria, portraits in the last light between the olive trees, the veil lifted by the wind, and a kiss on a terrace looking over the plain.
At night the courtyard filled with lights for the first dance. Photographed in an editorial and documentary style, the gallery keeps the particular character of a Puglian wedding: unhurried, sunlit and close to the land.
