As photographers we are faced with many challenges, challenges that test our abilities, our knowledge, our stress levels. More than once I have questioned my abilities and very often I decide that its all over and way too difficult. But I continue…. why…. well its the thank you card from a bride and groom, its the emails, its the new parents who call teary saying how happy they are, its all the warm fuzzies, giggles, smiles, everything about photography for me is fabulous. And the challenges…. well that just keeps it all interesting.
Emma and Karl, you had a BIG challenge for your perfect day. You had record rain fall and flooding… like serious can’t go outside too wet flooding, and not once did I see a face of worry, not once did you even cringe… you just kept on smiling and smiling some more. Thank you to both of you and thank you to your wonderful family and friends who are amazing and perfect.
