This last Saturday I had the honor to shoot a gorgeous backyard wedding. I asked my dear and best of friends, Trude to second shoot with me because no matter how small a wedding, it’s always good to have two photographers covering all angles. Most importantly though, I chose her not just because she is my friend, but because I truly am a fan of her work and style. And best of all, I already know we work well together (because we actually did years back). Even when I yell out to her “bring me the ladder” in stress of losing the last few minutes of natural light, she just laughs.
Never would I ever had imagined starting a photography business, it’s something that developed from hobby and the curiosity of always learning something new. I am truly doing what I love and learning many things as I go along, especially on the business end. Somedays are easier than others and it’s a lot more work than it appears, long days, late nights and working weekends have become a routine. I know that it is worth every minute because I have happy clients and most importantly, I’m happy. What really has stricken me and touched me is being able to incorporate my business and work in collaboration with one of my best friends and others as well. This truly is a blessing and sometimes I need to stop for a little bit, reflect and really take in all the goodness from this incredible journey that I am creating. Thanks for listening.
Now for the good stuff! I love her delicious blond hair (yes, all natural, be jealous) in the sunlight.
This photo makes me laugh. I was checking out my exposure and trying to get an angle from the ground, literally.
I can’t wait to post photos from the wedding, you are going to fall in love with this couple, I’m just warning you. This is what a Dream Team looks like. I can’t wait to shoot other weddings with her in the future, whether she’s bringing me the ladder or I’m bringing it to her.
