Astrid + Edwin

Here we are, it’s the end of 2024. This year has proven to be a year of growth in our business. This is the year that I will remember as quitting my full time job and becoming a full time photographer, as well as a homeschool teacher to my little one. This is the year that our faithful clients delivered. We will forever be grateful.

Towards the end of the year, Astrid and Edwin approached me to ask if I would take their wedding pictures. They told me it was an intimate wedding, nothing glorious or fancy, but they simply wanted to be with their loved ones. Astrid told me the venue was not the greatest venue, but I just smiled. Nothing is too little or too less for such a special moment. We made magic happen. There is no wedding I would say no to, as long as the client respects the art of the photographer. I have always been blessed with such great clients. They encourage me to go forward; my confidence grows as they place their trust in me. I do not take this lightly. So 2025 is soon approaching, and perhaps you’re planning a wedding and think you don’t deserve a photographer. But yes you do. We can make it happen, and when it does- you’ll be glad you invested. 2025, be kind and gentle, but also bring forth boldness and strength.

Barbarita + Eduardo wedding

There are different types of clients you face throughout your career. There’s the normal client… who just simply needs you to do the job and we gladly do it. There’s the pinterest client, who wants you to recreate something that is probably not your style. And then there’s the ideal client…the one who lets you do whatever you want. Yet, there is even another type I would add. This is the “personal” one. The client that reaches your heart. The client that won’t let go of you, making sure that they are also serving you for the service you are providing. This last example describes Barbarita + Eduardo. We did not just attend a wedding, but we attended a friend’s wedding. We were not just photographers but somehow we became family.

For this wedding we traveled six hours south of Santiago to a city called Concepción. La Escondida, the venue, was just about 45 minutes away from the city; its name was truly fitting since it was very hidden in the middle of woods. That day everything that could go wrong, DID go wrong. In the morning, Barbarita found out that her grandmother had fallen and injured her knee and was taken straight to the hospital. The grandmother, we heard, was in tears since she was going to miss the wedding of her beloved granddaughter. Time was running against us but Barbarita decided that it was important to at least go visit her in the hospital, taking the risk of her possibly not being let through. However… we did it! In the following pictures to come you will observe joy and love. This day taught me that in the midst of stress and uncertainty it is important to keep on smiling. That’s exactly what Barbarita and Eduardo did on February 11th.

God bless them.
