Engagement & Wedding Photos by Evoke Weddings
Photo by Andie Avery Photography
Well when I was growing up, my dad stumbled upon photographing weddings and at the time, I was too young to be home alone so I always went to shoots with him. Then it turned into assisting at weddings, to then second shooting at weddings.
I held camera bags, clients extra outfits, and really got used to using a reflector.
I will never forgot riding in the car with my dad the week of high school graduation when he asked me "would you ever want to take over the family business one day?", and I will never forget confidently saying " NO.".
I went to college to be a Math Teacher and a Missionary, so really I just wasn't interested at the time.
Until I took my dad's extra camera to the Romania on a short term missions trip my youth group went on and I took photos the entire trip. And after I got back, I convinced all my friends on my dorm floor freshman year to let me take photos of them.
And just fell in love with it. I LOVE being around people and making people laugh and have a good time.
After that first year of college, I had to transfer schools due to the cost, and after a semester at a state school, I realized that I didn't want to be a teacher after my first day in an education class.
So I quit college and started this photography business to have fun and make people feel beautiful.
There is just something SO special about seeing two people in love and capturing those moments in one of the quickest seasons ever. A season of transition and change and excitement but you just can't wipe the smile off their face.
Weddings are days of celebration that become just core memories into who you are.
And honestly it's just FUN.
1. Helping couples slow down enough to enjoy their day
2. Watching a groom see his bride for the first time on their wedding day
3. Seeing parents get emotional seeing their babies marry the love of their life
4. The moment when couples walk back down the asile after saying "I Do" with a huge smile on their face
5. Watching couples dance their faces off with all their favorite people
