This next wedding was an incredible one for many reasons. I was contacted by Rene who was inquiring about my services, not for herself, but for her Grandmother, Jan. I was surprised, because as a wedding photographer, you don't really expect your clients to be in their 60's. I was so excited, because clearly there was an incredible story to tell. I couldn't believe my luck that I had been chosen to meet this wonderful family and learn about this love story. As a photographer and artist, I always enjoy being challenged and being pushed outside of my comfort zone, it's when I create my best work.
I am ever so grateful for the people I meet and work with - they so enrich my life.
Here is a snippet of Rene's e-mail to me after viewing the wedding day photos:
"What a great suprise to find those photos in my box this morning. What a great way to wake up... my first cup of coffee and your brilliant photos! It was a joy to find you, to meet you and to work with you. Icing on the cake to get to see such a beautiful finished product! The images are everything I knew they would be when I saw your portfolio online. Looking through them I laughed, I cried, I oohhed. I aaahhhed. Rex and I are both very impressed and very happy with what you captured. You are fantastically talented!"
Here is a clip of Jan's e-mail to me (my lovely bride):
"I have no words to adequately thank you for the way you captured our lovely weekend of celebrations. Our memories will live forever through your photographs."
In the last photo, that is the bride and groom with the groom's father. Incredible!
