I got my first wedding photography gig off of Craigslist 15 years ago.
It was a second marriage for two 70-year-olds, they only had five guests, and it was a Thursday afternoon. There was no white dress. No cake. No pomp. No circumstance. Next-to-no budget (I think I got paid around $100).
It was the best wedding I’d ever been to.
And the one that changed my mind about weddings altogether.
Before that day, I swore to myself I would never become a wedding photographer. All those cheesy shove-cake-on-your-face moments and family portraits filled with fake smiles? Hell no, not for me.
But that wedding?
It showed me that a wedding can be whatever you want it to be. That it doesn’t matter how old you are, what size you wear, what abilities you have, which God you do or don’t worship, weddings are a celebration of two people finding each other in this wild world. And that celebration should represent your love in whatever way you want it to.
“Tradition” and “normal” and “should”? Fuck ‘em. I wanna help you do this thing your way. And I’m honored that you’d trust me with your story.
