Description

Confessions of a Wedding PhotographerA heartfelt and hilarious memoir about love, life, and the chaos behind the cameraWhen Sarah Van Martin started her wedding photography business with a refunded deposit from her own wedding photographer disaster, she had no idea she was embarking on a fifteen-year journey that would take her from crawling through flood zones to hiding runaway grooms, all while building her own unconventional love story.Confessions of a Wedding Photographer pulls back the curtain on an industry most people only see through rose-colored glasses. With brutal honesty and infectious humor, Sarah chronicles her transformation from a broke newlywed with a basic camera to a seasoned professional who has witnessed over 500 love stories unfold—and occasionally implode.From the bride who fired three bridesmaids for not "playing ball" to the groom who asked Sarah to be his getaway driver, from battling food poisoning while shooting at altitude to becoming an emergency DJ when the real one never showed up, Sarah's stories reveal the beautiful chaos that exists behind every "perfect" wedding photo.But this isn't just a collection of wedding war stories. Woven throughout is Sarah's own romantic journey with Erik—a relationship that began with a bizarre written contract, survived separation by natural disasters, and flourished through the kind of patient, intentional love that most couples only dream of. Their courtship story, complete with letter-writing summers and foot-washing proposals, offers a refreshing counterpoint to our culture of instant everything.With wit, wisdom, and just the right amount of irreverence, Sarah explores what it really means to be a professional witness to love's most important moments. She shares the technical disasters (falling lenses, corrupted memory cards, and the great battery catastrophe), the human drama (naked flower children, cross-dressing brothers, and wedding crashers), and the profound privilege of capturing joy in its purest form.Whether you're planning a wedding, curious about the photography business, or simply love a good story about the beautiful messiness of human connection, Confessions of a Wedding Photographer delivers laughs, tears, and insights that will change how you see both weddings and love itself.After all, as Sarah has learned through 500+ celebrations, the best love stories aren't the ones that go according to plan—they're the ones where two people choose each other again and again, no matter what chaos unfolds around them.

  • Super easy, fun and very enjoyable read!
Format: Paperback
This book was such a fun read! It will definitely draw you in and give you some good laughs for sure! Sarah’s writing makes you feel like you were actually there and a part of what she is writing about/experiencing. I loved the beginning part where she shares her and Erik’s love story and then also the crazy stories and adventures she has had while being a wedding photographer! So good, and highly recommend reading! Job well done Sarah! Can’t wait for your next book! ;) -Susanna Paull (I am writing this review from my Mom’s account because I don’t have one…..so I am not sure how it’s going to pop up, probably under her name). ... show more

  • The author truly loves her profession
Format: Paperback
I expected stories about wedding situations ( the good, bad and the ugly). What I got was that plus more! The authors artistic beginnings and her love story shaped her into the photographer she became thru the years. Her own wedding photography disaster helped her understand her clients needs and wants. At times I felt like I was reading her private diary/journal but that was key to knowing about her and her developing story. . I also got a kick out of the things and times she decided and her fiancé/husband made changes in the client contracts It sounds like her husband has been there for her thru thick and thin. You can tell through her stories that she’s more than a photographer to her clients. My favorite part was the Last story that brought tears to my eyes. I won’t give it away but I’m sure it’s the most memorable and special wedding the photographers ever done! It’s a good read for those planning to marry and those of us who married decades ago! ... show more
