Who am I when I’m not photographing your wedding? 🐾
I’m a dog mum who spends her life with my reactive German Shepherd, Cooper, living as much of it as we can outdoors.
This week, I had an enquiry from a fellow reactive dog mum who is actually planning her wedding around my availability, so that her dog can have that safe space with me on the day.
When I say this fills me with the most joy, I genuinely don’t think I can put it into words.
Cooper’s reactivity is part of his life, but it’s not who he is. And knowing that someone sees that I understand the same about their dogs means more to me than I can explain.
It’s also made me realise just how much I share that part of my life over on Cooper’s account, and how much it’s become a part of who I am as a photographer too.
So this one is for the dog parents. The reactive dog parents. And anyone who wants someone by their side on their wedding day who will care about their dog just as much as they care about them.
Because weddings can be overwhelming for any dog, reactive or not. Having a safe space, someone who understands them, and someone who won’t judge them if they’re not having the best time is so important.
If your dog is a huge part of your life, they’re a huge part of mine too.
I’m your girl 🐕🤍
