Not because of the job…
But because I was going through my own divorce.
Every week, I was capturing women who were about to marry the love of their lives, while I was trying to come to terms with the end of mine.
Some days, it was heartbreaking.
But I’ve learned that our hardest seasons often shape us in ways we don’t realise at the time.
Looking back, I now wonder how many of those brides had also experienced heartbreak before finding the person they were about to marry.
Because life doesn’t always follow the path we imagined.
I was lucky enough to find love again, and I remarried at 49.
That’s why bridal boudoir means so much more to me today.
It’s not just about creating beautiful photographs.
It’s about celebrating confidence, resilience, and the courage to open your heart again.
Because sometimes, the greatest love story isn’t your first…
It’s the one that comes after you’ve learned how strong you really are.
