On a rainy June day - traditionally unwelcome in weddings— I chose to embrace the rain as a visual jewel. Each droplet became a sparkling gem, illuminating the bride in a way sunlight could not. Through this image, I celebrate the philosophy that even adversity can become beauty. This is the essence of wedding photography: transforming imperfections into unforgettable memories, and reminding couples that life, too, shines brightest when it embraces the unexpected.
