Some stories are worth waking up at 2 AM for.
This one started in Split, in the middle of the night, with my wife beside me and Dubrovnik waiting at the end of the road.
Jahnavi and Varun had travelled from New York, and somewhere along the Adriatic, Varun had planned a morning that Jahnavi would remember forever.
We arrived early enough to walk through the location one more time, find the right spot and go over the final details with Varun before he asked the most important question.
I hadn’t photographed in Dubrovnik since last year, and I have to admit walking through those streets again, knowing what was about to happen, brought back that little bit of nervous excitement I still get before something truly special.
Then everything happened.
And afterwards, just the two of them walking through Dubrovnik with absolutely no pressure and no rush.
In only two hours we created more than 150 photographs, but what stayed with me wasn’t the number. It was how effortless the whole morning felt. The kind of session where, at some point, you stop thinking about photographs and simply follow two people who are incredibly happy to be together.
After all these years behind the camera, mornings like this still remind me why I love what I do.
And this particular day had one more story waiting for me.
While Jahnavi and Varun were beginning a new chapter of their lives, my wife and I were celebrating ten years of marriage.
I couldn’t have imagined a better place or a better way to spend our anniversary.
