Rafael and Tati had done a photoshoot a week prior to their wedding in 2009.

Widowed Dad’s Tribute Photoshoot
The photos are touching enough by themselves, but there are some special touches that make them even more powerful.
The necklace Raisa dons in some of the photos was her mother’s. . .

Watch the sweet photo shoot in the video below: [/slide]Rafael says that he hopes people will not view this project with sadness. Though the two of them will always live with the pain of losing Tati and the child she was carrying, Rafael says that God has been “taking care of a very special way to us, guiding us, showing us what to do.”
