Every once in a while, I sit and edit my wedding photographs. And it hits me.
These are people that chose me. Me. To photograph one of the single most important days in their entire lives. To create photographs that not just them, but their children, their grandchildren, and so on… Will always look back at and cherish. In enough time, these are likely some of the only professional photographs future generations have of these people.
And I am the one with the paintbrush. The one that captures and creates the image that is who them and all their future generations always look at.
And they pay me for this.
