Two years ago a girl took a chance on me. She knew full well what kind of a chance she was taking, but she took it anyways. Two years ago today I photographed my very first paid wedding with my best friend by my side. As I sit here getting ready to shoot another wedding today, I can't help but remember the butterflies in my stomach on that day, the nerves were almost unbearable. Was I going to succeed? What if she hates the pictures? What if she hates me? Lucky for me I had Kelly by my side to calm me down, to tell me that I was going to succeed, that she won't hate the pictures, and that she won't hate me....well if she does, she won't tell you.
Sarah was willing to give me a shot, my first shot, and for that I truly thank her. Because without that opportunity I wouldn't be where I am today. So, Happy Anniversary Sarah and Matt, thank you so much for allowing me to capture one of the most important days of your lives. Sarah, I'm so happy to call you my friend now.
Still to this day I can't believe that I get to do something I absolutely love and get paid for it. It's amazing.
Here are a couple of pictures from their wedding two years ago.
