When a friend hires you for the pictures of her wedding<\/h2>

This story is the one that has touched me the most since I\u2019ve been working in weddings; not just because of the friends involved, but because of the way they asked me to be their photographer.
By the end of November of last year, in a Thursday like today, a \u2018Thursday of paches<\/em>\u2019 in the night of my place where we were, them two and I\u2026 We had already eaten half pache<\/em> maybe, when Nora tells Alvaro: give Ruben what we brought him -and since before he pulled it out- I knew it was a wedding invitation, but I didn\u2019t know it was a \u201cspecial invitation\u201d (which you can see in the images of this post) When is it? \u2013I asked- I had that date already taken! Which was in may of this year; when I told them, Nora put a face mixed with surprise, concern and something else\u2026 \u201cReally?!\u201d -she asked- And I told them it was true, a week ago (maybe two) another couple had booked the date, but being Nora my good friend I told her not to worry because I didn\u2019t know how, but I would be at her wedding. (occasionally we attend two events in the same day; we just coordinate with the rest of the team).

3 days of shooting<\/h3>

So then she told me that one of the first things her dad asked about the wedding were about who was going to take the photos (her dad is a photographer) and she answered that she already had a photographer\u2026 without knowing what was I going to say. And so, while we were finishing our paches<\/em> and the hot chocolate with toast bread, they told me a little bit about their plans, and that I was the third person in knowing, among other stuff\u2026 then we talked about the options, we saw some pictures and a sample video. The next day I sent them the information I always send; a couples of days later they chose their package and\u2026 in total were 3 days: a Saturday the civil wedding, the next one the religious wedding and almost a month later the photoshoot. So here I leave you with a sample of those three days; the civil wedding and the photoshoot were at \u201cCasa Miravalle\u201d and the religious wedding was in \u201cIglesia Maria Auxiliadora\u201d.<\/p><\/div>\n\n\n\n
