With a wedding photography job at a major department store, the wedding of a close friend to a colleague is a regular thing.
“I’m constantly in conversation with my photographer, we’re both very into it,” the friend says.
“He just keeps shooting, shooting, filming, shooting and shooting and filming.”
But when the friend’s friend gets engaged, the photographer has to do something else.
“When the wedding is over, I’ll get a couple of photos,” the colleague says.
So the colleague sets out to find a wedding photographer who can shoot the most intimate wedding photos possible.
“And then we start doing it for each other.”
What happens next is something of a game changer for marriage photography.
“We start doing the wedding photography for each others weddings, and it’s like we’re on the same page,” the acquaintance says.
They’re so in love with the photography that the photographer takes them on a honeymoon to Hawaii, where they spend an amazing six months shooting the most incredible wedding photos.
“They are like family, and they’re all just really happy, and the photos are so good that they all want to share them,” the photographer says.
Now, the relationship is on the right track and the wedding photographer is able to keep shooting weddings.
The relationship is now on the best path to happiness.
“That’s the thing about being a wedding photographers, you really are in love,” the person says.
And the photographer, too, is in love.
The photographer, now married, shares with us the love of a lifetime, and that love is one of the reasons he’s doing what he does now.
