Every now and again, it's nice to remember WHY you do whatever it is that you do. For wedding photographers, this lesson is especially important as at least 90 percent of your job involves finding inspiration to make it through another 10-12 hour day or another 3,000 photos.
But I can honestly say I've never had a couple who more clearly reminds me exactly WHY I love weddings as much as Ellen and Jeremy.
I met Ellen at a wedding expo last year as she sulked over to my table having just been instantly shot down by another area photographer who, apparently, was "too good" to work with her (I've seen her work. She's not.) Needless to say, this made my blood boil because I was on that side of the world just a few years ago when I was getting married and couldn't find anyone to shoot my wedding.
But it all worked out for the best because, much like Ellen and Jeremy's love story, fate finds a way to connect you with the people you're supposed to connect with.
And I'm so glad fate intervened here because Ellen and Jeremy are, without a doubt, one my all-time favorite couples. Why?
Because they epitomize everything that's right with young love and timeless romance. And so did their wedding ...
