Sums Summing Up !!: When Fairy Tales Meet...

Sums Summing Up !!: When Fairy Tales Meet...

When Fairy Tales Meet...

Mike is always respectful. He comes across as a person who is caring and thoughtful. Brenda is cute. She is always smiling and cracking jokes. She is soft-spoken and nice. When I first met them, they came across as a fun couple. I know them for about a year or so and I keep hearing stories about them from Amy (Brenda's sister).

When I first found out about Brenda and Mike deciding on getting married, I was really happy for them. I love marriages, and I almost always like to believe that Falling in Love and deciding to get married are like Fairy Tales. Anyone getting married for the first time, gets into it thinking that this will last forever and this is once in a lifetime, so it has to be almost perfect. So, when I found out about Brenda and Mike needing a photographer, I offered to do it for them. I have a theory, Pictures cannot justify the memories but at least they try. Brenda and Mike were kind enough to give me the opportunity to click them. I did try my best to make their Photo-shoot almost perfect... :)

Brenda and Mike got married on 20th Feb. I wanted to do a Photo shoot for them prior to that. So, we decided to meet on a Saturday a week before their Wedding Date. It was a perfect day for Pictures. Sun was out and it was bearable temperature to be outdoors. We roamed around Austin to click pictures in different locations and capture as much as possible. It all started in Arboretum -> Downtown -> Oasis. It ended with the Sunset. It was a long day.

When we met at Arboretum, I was a little nervous and realized that if I screw this up, probably will be horrible for Brenda and Mike. Gautam was awesome; he tagged along and helped me with everything. He was my chauffer and also carried my equipment around. He helped with picking good locations, poses, sun light direction, etc. I can never thank him enough. It was just perfect. Both Brenda and Mike were awesome. I was as always picky and being a perfectionist...I made them change 4 times. I tortured them with posing, smiling, walking, talking, standing, looking...Perfect. Thanks a lot guys for putting up with me. I hope you love the outcome and don’t hate me as much when you see the pictures.

I believe my Fairy tale is all of the things I dream of becoming. Out of the million things I want to do in my life…one is to become a Photographer. Travel the world and click People and Places. Thanks to Brenda, Mike and Gautam my fairy tale dream came true too. It was an ecstatic day for me.

So when our Fairy Tales met, the result was lovely. I cannot wait to click pictures for the lovely couple Brenda and Mike for their upcoming reception in March.
Brenda and Mike, Congrats and all the very best !!
