Hey, I´m Bruno Costa


I photograph people, places and whatever happens in between.


After fifteen years photographing weddings, I care less and less about what they’re supposed to look like.


I care about the people.


Cinema and music have probably influenced my photography more than photography itself.


I travel a lot. I get too close. I stay too late.


Weddings are just one of the places where life happens.


I’m not looking for perfection. I’m looking for something real enough to make you feel.

THERE’S MORE TO A WEDDING THAN THE WEDDING.

I like to tease the people I work with.

That´s how I get all those juicy smiles.

Camera is just a tool.
