This beautiful couples previously book photographer became unavailable close to their wedding day.. I reached out and they allowed me the honor to capture it. I got up at 5:30am, to ride to Huntsville to be there in time to capture their special day.. and something this gorgeous bride said, will stick with me foreverā¦
She said ā Iām so glad you werenāt a scamā
And no this wasnāt in a rude, mean or derogatory way!! She thanked me an endless amount of times for showing up so last minute for her..
But it made me realize how scared couples are these days to book a wedding photographer . The amount of scam post , or post where their photographer didnāt show up or showed up and LEFT. Iāve seen it all. Where they never heard back after booking and paying a deposit .. where a photographer shot their entire wedding and LOST THEIR PHOTOS, or even worse.. just ghosted and they never even received them.
As someone whoās done this for 8 years, I couldnāt imagine ever doing that, especially on someoneās wedding day. ļæ¼No one deserves that. And i couldnāt imagine how terrifying it is to be asked to pay so much money and just putting trust that the person youāre paying will at least show up. š„ŗ
Anyway, rant over. Iām glad I had the opportunity to capture it. It was beautiful. I only worked with them for maybe 3 hours that day, but you can just tell they had the purest hearts and I hope they receive all the love , happiness and joy they deserve. ā¤ļø
Congratulations Madelyn and Zeke.
