Thaminne + Renato

Amazing Brazilian DIY Wedding

I have to say I was impressed by this wedding and couple: when I first read the bride’s story and I saw the list of vendors, I discovered the wedding was a DIY, and it’s hard to tell from the photos! So, congrats to Thaminne and Renato for planning their wedding and doing it so well. And of course, congrats to Frankie e Marília for these excellent photos.

Thaminne and Renato’s wedding took place in Guararema, a city located in the state of São Paulo, Brazil. They had been dating for 9 years before they got married, which means they were high school lovers! They decided to see each other before the ceremony, which is something they would recommend to future brides and grooms:

We agreed we would meet in some place chosen by our photographers which happened to be the living room of the farm. It was one of the best moment of the whole preparation, away from the rush and the foolishness… it was like watching a movie of everything we already went through and it was awesome!

Name one thing you regret…

I wish we had done the ceremony earlier, have lunch instead of dinner, something like that.

… And one thing you’re really happy about / proud of.

Ah, we keep on talking about this: if there’s one think we’re really happy about, it’s our choice of photographers. I know we sound like creepers, but we were truly and sincerely happy both with the result and the persons we got to know. Another thing that makes us really happy is to have managed to gather our families and friends to set up the decor, buy the flowers, paint the vases – we all had a really good time!

I am super happy to share this wedding with you today: über-pretty dress and suit, a bus to take all your guests with you, an outdoor ceremony with an amazing landscape, entertainment (a mechanical bull!) and a beautiful venue. Besides, if countryside and flower fields is your thing (it’s totally mine), then you should definitely continue reading. Photography by Modern Hearts, based in South Africa.
