And so, it’s official, my website has closed and Jo Edwards Photography is no more. Although I’ve not been doing photography for some time now, I’d hung on to my website for a while. I’m not sure why, for the memories, the pride I have in those photos and that time in my life, the ‘what ifs’. Building a business and doing something creative that I loved was so special to me and making people happy with my work was all I ever wanted. I grew into my confidence as a photographer over the years, but never lost those pre wedding nerves that made me strive to do better every time I picked up the camera. The absolute best part of the job was the people and sharing in the happiest days of their lives. I never took that for granted, being so up close and personal with the happy couples on their big day was a huge privilege.
Thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart to all my couples and families over the years that have trusted me to be the one to capture your life events, each and every one of you will hold precious memories for me always 🩷
But life takes us in unpredictable directions, five years ago when the world was just starting to come back to normal after covid, ours fell apart when our youngest boy was diagnosed with leukaemia, just two days before my first post covid wedding. All I could do to get through my days was to be there for him. Thankfully he came through three years of treatment and is well again, but priorities change and a life changing event like this makes you look at everything in a different way. So onwards and upwards to new things with health and positivity all the way!
Keep taking photos, be that annoying person that gets the group together for a photo, make sure you’re in them sometimes too, display your photos on your walls and treasure those memories!
Much love
Jo
