I Did?

I Didn't Expect to Become a Wedding Photographer

If you had told me a few years ago that I'd end up photographing weddings for a living, I probably would have laughed. Not because I didn’t respect the craft—far from it—but because my journey through photography was anything but straightforward.

I started out dabbling in everything: street photography, portraits, fashion editorials, even a brief (and chaotic.. very chaotic) experiment with concert photography. I bounced from one genre to another, chasing inspiration, learning the ropes, and trying to figure out where I actually fit in this vast creative world. I was searching for something that clicked—not just creatively, but personally.

Then one day, almost by accident, I shot a friend’s wedding. I said yes because they trusted me, and I figured, “Why not?” I had no idea that day would change everything.

What I found surprised me. Wedding photography wasn’t just about pretty pictures or capturing a timeline of events—it was emotional, unpredictable, intimate, and full of fleeting, powerful moments. There’s something about being invited into such a personal chapter of someone’s life that hit different. I got hooked on the rawness of it all: the nervous laughter, the quiet glances, the joyful chaos.

Suddenly, I wasn’t just bouncing around anymore. I had found another piece of my identity as a photographer.

Now, wedding photography is more than just my job—it’s my passion. Every couple, every story, every celebration brings something new, and I’m honored every time I get to be part of it. I may not have expected this path, but I’m so glad I followed it.
