Not so long ago, I met a very nice couple to talk about maybe photographing their upcoming wedding, and they had a question that I’ll never forget.

Now, every meeting is different, but some questions can be similar.

Questions and answers were given, and then, almost at the end of our conversation, she asked me “Which wedding has been the most difficult one you ever had and why?”…

I paused for a moment, and I thought about it… Then, I said, “Yours!”

It sounded funny, they both smiled, they looked at each other, and I can only imagine how confused they were with my answer... so they said “What do you mean?”

At the moment I was thinking about their question, I started thinking about the weddings I had shot up to that point, trying to find the most difficult one.

“I’ve found one! I thought to myself” and then I remembered another one, and then another, and another and so forth…

I came to realize that every wedding has been the Most Difficult One, because it is not just another event, every wedding is THE ONE, is the only wedding you will ever have, is the only wedding You will ever want, and is my only chance to make and capture those wonderful moments that are going to last you a life time.

I understood why my answer meant so much to me, so I explained to them why their wedding would be the most difficult one. They smiled at me again, they looked at each other again, and said: “I guess we’ve never expected to hear that answer”

We wrapped up our meeting, and when I got back to my place I noticed I had received an email from them. I opened it, and as in photography services it said “You are the kind of person that I would WANT to be at my wedding...”

That day I realized how much Wedding Photography truly meant to me. It is not just about taking pictures! It is about being able to see the inner and outer beauty , capturing your personality,and that of your guests. It is about making that moment special, and everlasting. I want to explain the story of your love through a gesture, a smile, a kiss.

On a personal note, I am happily married to my best friend. I am a hopeless romantic, and so is she. I can tell you that we still fall in love all over again every time we look at our wedding album, and I promise your wedding album will have the same effect on you through the years to come.

Hoping to create your everlasting memories,
