As photographers, we spend our lives trying to preserve moments before they disappear.
We freeze time with a single click, never knowing which photographs will become the ones we treasure most.
People often ask me what my favourite photograph is.
They expect it to be an award-winning image.
Or a famous wedding.
Or a photograph that's travelled around the world.
The truth is...
It's this one.
This was the very first photograph I ever took of the woman I would one day marry.
January 2013.
I was photographing someone else's wedding.
She was simply one of the guests.
I didn't know her name.
I didn't know we'd fall in love.
I didn't know she'd become my wife, the mother of our beautiful daughter, and the person I'd want to spend the rest of my life with.
To me, it was just another frame.
Funny how life works.
It never tells you when the most important moments are happening. Sometimes, they only reveal their meaning years later.
Looking back now, I realise I wasn't just photographing a wedding.
Without knowing it, I was quietly capturing the first page of our own story.
Thirteen years later, we've built a beautiful life together, become parents to an incredible little girl, and we're celebrating Seven years of marriage.
Of all the photographs I've taken over the years, this one means the most.
Not because it's perfect.
But because it reminds me that the greatest moments in life are often the ones we never see coming.
Happy 7th wedding anniversary, my love.
If life gave me another beginning, I'd still pick up my camera... hoping that, somewhere along the way, you'd walk into the frame again. ❤️
