Being built doing what I love doing and attracting like minded couples
GET MARRIED EARLY! Everyone is tense and nervous before the ceremony and you are away from the person you want to spend the rest of your life with. get the ceremony done and then the rest of the wedding is fun and you have loads of time to do what ever you want. also

I've always carried a camera while I was growing up. I've always been a digital person. I've always felt it gave me creative control, my first camera was an Olympus with 1.3 mega pixels. (I'm now shooting with a pair of Nikon Z9 cameras) when I was doing a PhD in Optics I fell in with a wedding photographer. I just did it for fun and company never found the weddings stressful. after the PhD I found that microscopes don't like vibration or light and are always found in windowless basements. So one day I just found the yearning to be outside with happy people to strong and I left the basement and became a full time photographer.
