Hello, Steemians! Today I want to talk to you about a talented wedding photographer who does a great job. His photographs convey many emotions, they are really beautiful and captivating.
His name is Jose Pleguezuelos, he is a great friend of mine, he lives in Tarragona, Spain and loves his work very much.
We met in 2015, in the most unusual and absurd way that could exist in life. Basically, a person had created a fake account on Facebook, pretending to be him and using his photos. That person contacted me, I realized that it was a false account, I found Jose, I told him what was happening and since then we became good friends.
I can say that he is an incredible person; he is attentive, warm, kind, respectful, funny and a dreamer.
For those who don't know, I'm a social media publicist and for the last 3 years I've had the privilege of taking care of his social networks, so I can certainly say that he's a 100% professional person and has never disappointed his couples (clients).
Before he entered the world of photography, he went through a very common situation for most people, ended up studying a career that didn't make him happy, but it didn't take him long to realize that what he really loved was photography.
And why not do something you love? Why not make it your profession? What's the point of working on something that doesn't make you happy? Life is one! It's not to be wasted! And that's what Jose did, he decided to follow his dream.
On his website, he posted this quote from the film "The Pursuit of Happyness" that says:
“Don't ever let someone tell you, you can't do something. Not even me. You got a dream, you got to protect it. People can’t do something themselves, they want to tell you you can’t do it. You want something, go get it. Period.”
In his beginnings as a photographer, he tried different genres, but in the end, he fell in love with wedding documentary photography, because in this area he discovered that he could capture the true essence of people and could use 100% of his creativity.
He fell in love with the different facets of the human being in a wedding, the nerves, the tears of joy, the euphoria and all those unique and unforgettable moments that make that day magical.
He loves the way his couples look at each other, that illusion they have, the caresses that say more than a thousand words, the laughter, the hugs of their loved ones. In other words, he loves to narrate beautiful love stories through photography.
It is a privilege for him to be responsible for freezing all those magical moments that will take on great value as the years go by.
Something I admire very much is that it is important for him to make friends with his clients and that they feel completely at ease, so that on the day of the wedding, they don't see him as a "photographer" but as just another guest. Achieving this, he will go unnoticed and the essence will flow, which he wants to capture.
It's very nice because when he talks about his couples, you can see how much he care for them and how grateful he is to have been present on that special day. He always treats them very kindly.
His photographs are completely out of the ordinary, because in these there are no directed postures, he seeks naturalness, that his couples forget that he is present and let themselves be carried away by what they feel to each other and that their love is transmitted in the atmosphere.
What I love about his work is that the weddings he has been present, are completely different from the conventional ones. He has been the photographer of country, bohemian, hipster and vintage weddings.
Jose is an adventurous person, he loves to travel and get to know new places, so distance is not an impediment to being the photographer of your wedding. Some of the places he has already visited are Cambridge, Budapest, Prague and Morocco.
Every year he makes a workshop called "Alma" where he talks about his experiences as a wedding documentary photographer and is about to launch a wedding planning book called "Haz Que Tu Boda Sea Única" (Make Your Wedding Unique).
He is not one of those people who get stuck, he is always looking to advance and grow, to have new goals to accomplish and that is something really admirable.
He has collaborated with wedding planners and other colleagues for several interesting projects and has been to important events such as Bridal In Barcelona, The Wedding Market Barcelona, the Tot Nuvis Reus Parade, the Heartmade Weddings, and others.
