Tonight I ran into a friend I haven’t seen in a long while. He’s a photographer. He told me that he hasn’t photographed any weddings in a year or two and he recently realized how relieved he felt about that. I’m so happy for him that he is now photographing only the kinds of jobs he wants, and I wanted to tell him I feel so privileged to be able to be a wedding photographer.
Like earlier today, when I took Lindsay a 13×19 print that I made her of the bridal pictures we did a couple days ago. It was a gorgeous print on Velvet Fine Art paper. I really wish you could see it. She was so excited, told me how much she loved the print an the rest of the pictures we made the other day and said, “Can I give you a hug”? That’s the sort of reaction I love, and it’s the reason I do what I do. She said, “when my mom sees this, she is going to cry.”
I’ve said it before, but really want to say it again, I love my job.
Here’s something else great that happened today. I recently ordered two, very large canvas prints. They are square and sized 38 inches. These big prints are really quite stunning and if you’d like to see them, it’s easy. They are now hanging in The Flower Basket in Provo. Go check them out and let me know what you think. I think they’re fantastic.

What a very wonderful outlook you have on life. Makes me want to reconsider the possibility of being a wedding photographer. Or, at the very least, it helps me realize that I need a serious attitude adjustment.
You have some wonderful photos, by the way.
Thanks, Bryon. You have some great photographs, too. I just checked out your site and really dig your work.
I think it is awesome that you love your job! That’s why I picked you to photograph our family, because you are so invested and genuinely intrigued by the subject as well as the outcome. I can’t wait to see what you did for us
And thanks for all the advice!
