From the eyes of a photographer’s wife:
Before meeting my husband, the closest I got to a camera was a disposable. I never owned a real camera. I never really thought I needed one. But seven years ago when I met Aaron it all changed for me. At first I was hesitant to help Aaron, I thought of it as more work. I already had a full-time job. But, the more I learned how much photography meant to Aaron the more I grew to learn that it’s not just a job. It’s another way to look at people, emotions, and God’s creation.
Aaron has opened my eyes to the beauty of nature, a father’s love of his keiki, the excitement of a bride and groom getting ready to see each other to say “I do”, and so much more. Helping my husband on shoots and weddings has made me appreciate life and appreciate what God has given us, the beautiful colors of our sunsets, the tranquil Ko’olau Mountains, and the fierce waves of Pipeline. I’ve never looked at these the way I do now.
Being there to help Aaron photograph a couple’s wedding not only gives me more time to spend with him, but it also allows me to take part in a once in a lifetime event that celebrates a couple’s love. Every wedding I’ve helped Aaron with I always tear up at the ceremony, which makes it hard to shoot. I’m getting better at holding it back. But I still get teary eyed.
