🤍 More Than Just Photographing a Wedding 🤍
When you’re given the honor of photographing someone’s wedding, sometimes you get to be a part of so much more than just the pictures. You get to help put bouquets together, arrange centerpieces, set up decorations, and be there for all the little details that make the day so special.
And through those little moments, you get to know the people behind the wedding. You get to laugh with them, share in the excitement, and build relationships that make photographing their special day even more meaningful.
Shelby and Ben are two truly wonderful people who have a way of making you feel included in their lives. It was such an honor to be part of their wedding, not only as their photographer but also as someone who has grown close to their family.
Even though this was only my fifth wedding, they trusted me with such an important day in their lives, and that is something I will never take for granted. One moment that will always stick with me happened when Ben asked his mom if she could run my camera; so they could get a picture with me. 🥹 It might have seemed like such a small moment to everyone else, but to me, it meant so much. Even in the middle of his own wedding day, Ben found a way to include me and make sure I could be part of those special moments, too. It was such a simple, thoughtful gesture, and one that reminded me just how much the little things can mean.
Shelby and Ben, thank you for trusting me to capture the beginning of this beautiful chapter in your lives and for welcoming me in as more than just your photographer. I am so grateful I got to be a part of your day and your family's memories. 📸✨
