How Often Does Your Realtor Become Your Official Wedding Photographer?

How often does your Realtor become your official wedding photographer? I did it! If that's not service, I don't know what is...

A couple of years ago a client of mine who liked my photographic style, asked me to take pictures of his wedding on a yacht going down the Ashley river and the Atlantic Ocean in the Charleston Area. He didn't want a professional taking the pictures, because it was going to be a very intimate atmosphere, he said. He wanted candid shots, nothing rehearsed

This was a very special treat. Springtime in Charleston is delightful. Warm breezes embraced everything that lazy Saturday afternoon. The boat was just the right size for that intimate gathering. It was loving and genuine. It had all the lovely elements: good friends, family and beautiful kids.

The mother of the groom married the couple. His daughter gave him away. Her son gave her away. Everyone was barefoot and wearing white, even the photographer (me).

It was a magical event, full of love and grace. Beautiful surroundings, pleasant memories that will last forever. Enjoy!

The picture of the the groom's daughter is the best picture I've ever taken, I think. It says so much! Let me know how you like it!

Yes, I agree...Love it. The Sepia tone is wonderful. I am getting our family portraits done soon and I've opted for a carefree in the park setting and I like the white matching...very nice photos indeed. Thanks for sharing!

Beautiful photos. You have a very special talent for finding the soul of the people in your photos. Thanks for sharing.

Great job. And it looks like a nice cruise out of the deal. I am itching to be on the beach. Not much longer and Hilton Head here I come.

Nice work, Mirela! Interesting as I am booked for a wedding in August. First time I've done a wedding as the official photog. Later in August, I'm being hired as a DJ for a recfeption. Full service brokerage!

You have a great eye for emotion in your pictures.

Fabulous photos my friend. I just love all the photos you share with us. You are one talented lady! I hope you are having a wonderful day.

Thank you George for the lovely comment! I love taking pictures! I will gladly do the next wedding or baptism. I never charge money. It is so lovely to photograph human emotion!

Pete, Laura, Lisa, Gina: Thank you so much for the comments! It's encouraging.

Oh Mirella and you're a photographer too! Do this girls talents never end? Smile - I love the sepia photos.....its my favorite!

The photo of the little girl is an 'award winner'.....I don't even know her and I want it in a frame! :-)

Thank you, Liz! I can send it to you if you wish, or you can copy it here. I would like to enter it in a competition. The picture is my most favorite also. As soon as I saw it I knew I had a winner. The emotion on her face, her focus, and her father's loving, protective hand draped upon her right shoulder. What a great shot. Pure luck!

It was such a loving occasion and so easy to photograph. They are such down to earth, yet extraordinary people and they have such strong family bonds. They are beautiful people inside and out! I felt very honored to be there capturing their moments...

...The food was good too (that's me munching down some excellent morsels; yes, the photographer got captured on film).

You have a wonderful talent. The photos are beautiful. I'm sure the bride and groom were delighted with each one. You captured the special day for them and their family and friends. Great job!

Realtors are well-rounded creatures! I've done photography for fellow Realtors and clients and I've done their wedding and birthday cakes!

Yes I knew that gorgeous muncher was you...:-) I would love that photo! I've done a few weddings myself....but nothing of that calibre Mirela...:-)

Do you want me to e-mail it to you, or just copy it from here? I love taking pictures of kids; there's never a dull moment and they always look beautiful. You know what they say: "Kids have the faces God gave them, and old folks have the faces they deserve...."

Thank you Debbie! It's so good to have you back! When can we read the blog on the trip you just came back from, you lucky lady?

Beautiful photos and beautiful family.

The sepia is beautiful with an all white wedding.

Mirela, you are right, what a beautiful photo of the grooms daughter. I just visited Charleston with my son in late August. My parents live in Surfside, and I will most likely be relocating once he is finished high school. I am on the five year plan! Have a wonderful holiday season.

Julie: You will love it here! I was jogging on the beach this morning and I was thinking to myself: "How lucky am I to be able to enjoy this amazing beauty?" The water was so blue, the sun so bright and the sand was fresh with wonderful sea shells. The serenity here and the easy going pace is hard to imagine. I don't think I could ever live in the big city after this. When I go visit family in California, I can't wait to come back and I love California, so you can imagine just how precious this place is!

Mirela- Very nice you can be my second shooter on a wedding anytime! Thanks for sharing!
