I don't do weddings ... I really don't...I have photographed one wedding (personal family friends) in my entire photography career --- they were the sweetest couple and had a precious family and thankfully everything went very smoothly, but I just don't do weddings. I don't have space on my calendar for weddings, I don't market for weddings, I don't go to the wedding shows, I don't try to reach the wedding market at all, it's just not my thing.
But .... this sweet lady called me said they were getting married (the very next day) and needed a photographer. I quickly gave my standard reply, explaining I don't do weddings and was ready to reply with referrals to a few photog friends in the area that specialize in weddings.
But she stopped me in my tracks and then explained she didn't want event photos, they were having a very simple ceremony ... they just desired to have portraits of their special day after the ceremony. We spoke for a bit and I realized she simply wanted portraits and I DO portraits. We worked out the details and thankfully I had space on my calendar the following day. The rest is history ...
I am so grateful to have witnessed their love, their joy, and the beginning of their new life journey...they are precious together and have a beautiful family. They were sooooooo happy and it just made my soul sing to be part of their special day!
I'm sharing one of my favorites above ... there were so many gorgeous portraits captured that day, stay tuned for more to come...
