A list of reasons why this was my favorite couple to photograph at the workshop:
1. She made her wedding dress and it was so cute. Can you tell, his boutonniere is handmade as well?
2. It felt like they were the first couple that I "had" to direct solo.... It was like, "here they are. Go at it...." And I was terrified having other attendees watching, so I was elated to see that it actually worked and I didn't totally mess up.
3. He adored her and it showed (and not in a gushy, cheesy way). It's always easier and more fun to photograph people who actually love each other, have fun together and show up with their hearts wide open. Now that's my kind of client!
4. I kind of had an ah ha moment after photographing that day. (I'm gonna get personal....) I never considered myself a romantic, yet I will always deny that I am a total cynic. Granted, I might appear to be a little jaded when it comes to some things regarding the idea of a fairy tale ending, I really do think I still am a romantic at heart, deep down, buried very deep within the depths of my Grinch-sized, black heart.... hahahah! j/k.But I do feel like there is a romantic inside of me. I always joke about my second, third and fourth marriages or weddings. But I did realize that day, after photographing this couple, that the next time I get married it will feel like this. If the experience of photographing these two people who love each other reminds me that it is possible then there has to be some romantic left in me. That is all.
