Is it Because...?

Why do I love wedding photography? why do I love photography at all? what is it about the 'click' that makes me tick?
Is it because...
  • I get to be amongst people looking and feeling their best
  • Working 14 hour days still leaves me with so much energy I cant sleep
  • I see a must have shot everywhere I look
  • The colour around me
  • The emotion and energy everywhere
  • the spontaneous reality of a day day planned to perfection but with moments you could never prepare for
  • Seeing the look on a Brides face when you ask her for an adventurous pose with her partner, then seeing her face when she loves it.
  • Watching guests generously enjoy the bar.
  • Looking back on the previous day in the editing room
  • Retelling the story digitally which images that will last a lifetime
  • Meeting the couple to deliver their photo's and seeing the reactions first hand
  • The speeches, the comedy, the entertainment
  • The opportunity to let my creativity explode and be booked for it
  • I cant imagine doing anything else
  • or is it all of this and more...?
This is me, this is why I do what I do, when you say I do.
To the couples I have worked with, and the couples I will be working with soon I am honored to have been chosen as your photographer.
