Homer & Eloise's wedding

Eloise and Homer’s wedding happened last June. I am two months late.

Blogging or posting photography-related posts lately has been a challenge. I feel guilty! Because it feels like I am abandoning something that I fell in love with twelve happy long years ago. I think I grew up and my heart just wanted to create more meaningful pictures. The kind that when you look at it, you won’t see the glitz, but the emotions or stories instead. With social media and all that, this has become a challenge. Authenticity has lost its magic. Instead, it has been a race to be included in what’s hot. What’s in!

But I am stubborn!

I refuse to go with the flow. I am sticking to what I’ve always believed in. Because it’s tiring when we are covered with the unnecessary things in this world.

I’ve known Homer and Eloise when I started my journey as a wedding photographer. Homer and I worked together. He was my second shooter. Eloise, on the other hand, was his anchor. She reminds me so much of myself. Sometimes and maybe most, don’t get her. But I do! Authentic as she is, she is also misunderstood. She speaks her mind and doesn’t really care about what society wants to hear. I think and I feel, we need more people like that nowadays.

When she walked down the aisle, she tried her hardest to keep the tears. But one or two escaped! I felt her strength and all that was inside her heart. The FINALLY TODAY HAS COME was written all over her face. She told me the day after that my happy ever after will also happen ONE DAY.

Maybe soon or maybe not? It’s not really important. What I have is what I need at this moment in time. If that happy every after won’t come, I’m happy documenting the happy ever after of other people like Homer and Eloise’s.
