The PHOTOGRAPH:

Not the first time I’ve taken this photo for a duo.

Not the last time I’ll take this photo for a duo.

Andrew loved it.

Alli not so much.

The BLOG:

I think I just found my perfect bride. Meaning my perfect bride as a client, not MY perfect bride.

Shen sent an enquiry via my website which neatly deposits all the information into my studio software. I checked the date and sent my prewritten reply (filling in the bits I need to). She responds instantly. We set up a Zoom meeting (I was at home that day) and within 20 minutes, I’m booked for the wedding.

That’s all great, but what makes her the perfect bride?

1. Values photography.
2. Loves my work and especially loves my About me page on my website which apparently made her laugh.
3. Loves black and white.
4. Hates being posed but realises there will need to be a small amount on the day and is happy to do what needs to be done.
5. Is an enthusiastic photographer herself (Which lead into the gear talk which took up the majority of the call)

Although it’s a lot shorter than my standard weddings, I’m really looking forward to it.

Now to find another 30 of her every year!

Thanks as always for reading. I really appreciate your time and attention. If you like what I and or/how I write and you have not already done so, please consider joining the Facebook Group.
