I worked in the IT industry (network & system support role) for about 16 years. I completed my master degree in 2007 while working full time. But in the end I threw it all away to follow my passion for photography and became a full time wedding photographer.
I shot my first wedding in 2011 when opportunity came knocking, and fell in love with it. The satisfaction I get from capturing a beautiful photo and see the happy reaction from the newlyweds is far more than what working in IT had ever given me. So I spent the next few years learning about photography (mostly self taught, workshops and watching online tutorials). I started shooting more and more weddings while working full time in IT and quite enjoyed doing that. Until I became working long hours 6-7 days a week and got no more time left for family.
In 2018, I took the plunge and became full time wedding photographer.
Ask me anything :)
Love it, you're doing so great. Can't wait to see when you have the new landscaping one made up.
