Praia do Rosa, on the Southern Brazilian coast, is a very special place, which I have known, surfed and photographed for over 20 years. Rosa is just a few minutes down the road from where Marcio and Ana live. It was also the location of their wedding.

I felt privileged to be there on this special day… …A day that we wished it had never ended – family and friends: the best combination for happiness! The wedding was even more special because my great friend and photographer Christian Jung came along to photograph with me. This is what happened… Love Joao.
