One of the best things about being a portrait and wedding photographer is that you get to observe what can best be described as the beauty of unconditional love. As two people begin their new lives together, they look for someone to record one of the most significant things to happen to them in their lives - someone they can trust.
After the honeymoon is over, they'll inevitably experience spats of disagreement, moments of difficulty and tides of stress. Because of these challenges which face every marriage, I believe it's essential for couples to reflect on their lives and the gift of love - to realize and appreciate what they have.
As a precursor of things to come, engagement photos help families and friends open their eyes to the reality of love. Think about it: When you look at a photo of an engaged or newly-married couple, you can see three things: excitement, union and commitment - all three of which hold the subjects together as they begin their journey.
Posts like this one remind me of why I love photography. When I look at these portraits of Stephanie and Mike, I realize that my job isn't just a job - it's also an honor.
