Why I love photographing weddings #1

I want to make a note and remember why I love photographing weddings. So I can remind myself when tough time comes...

I went to deliver photos to Juanita last Sunday. As always, I was nervous to find out the bride's reaction to the photos. I pressed the door bell, and soon after Juanita welcomed me with smile. The smile that only comes with a truly happy, relaxed life. I guess the fact that she is successfully done with her big day allowed her to have the smile.

Anyway, I presented her a black proof box with 259 photos. Juanita opened the proof box, and all of her family started passing around photos.

"Wow, Mom, you look really nice here!"
"I can't see the photos, let me see"
"She looks so pretty..."

After a while Juanita woke up her husband, Quintus, and he came out to check out the photos... Another nervous moment for me. What if Quintus didn't like my photos...?

Well, Quintus said "Thank you" probably more than 30 times while seeing the photos. He was very happy with the result, and I came back home with one more reason why I love photographing weddings!

The smile, and Wow on the faces of brides, grooms, and their families... :)
