A Heartfelt Morning: Capturing Love at the Breakfast Table

On this particular day, I was scheduled to arrive early at the groom's house for a photoshoot. Unlike the usual bustling atmosphere of a bride's preparations, the energy here was slightly different. As the entire family was busy getting ready, I found my way to the kitchen. There, I saw the groom's mother preparing breakfast, lovingly mixing a nutritious drink for everyone.

I approached her to start a conversation, hoping to build a rapport that would make the day’s shoot smoother. With genuine curiosity, I asked, "Mom"—I often adopt the bride or groom's way of addressing their family members to create a sense of warmth and familiarity—“what are you doing?”

She smiled warmly and said, “I’m making breakfast drinks. They’ve been having this since they were kids. I prepare it for them every morning.” Behind the camera, my eyes welled up. I was struck by the beauty of that moment. A small, everyday act had become a cherished habit, a morning ritual of love.

There's a saying that goes, "No matter how old children get, they will always be kids in their parents' eyes." Today, the groom is starting his own family, but his mom is still there, quietly taking care of him, making sure everything is perfect. Even from a distance, her eyes are filled with love.

I love capturing these everyday moments because they hold so much meaning and memories. It's the little things that make life beautiful. For me, these moments are incredibly special and remind us of the love that surrounds us every day.
