James Day, a photographer from Sidney, had captured the beautiful moments of the wedding.
And he had the unique experience of working with a couple where the bride was completely blind. How could you photograph a wedding when you know that the future wife would never actually see the photos?
James created a unique atmosphere during the wedding day and he also gave the couple a present that would keep their precious memories forever.
“Steph did not want the wedding.”
Steph lost her eyesight before she met Rob. She suffers from cone-rod dystrophy, an eye disorder she inherited from her mother Linda. She never thought of the wedding because without sight she wouldn’t be able to fully experience it.
“It was since Steph was a little girl. She wanted her fairy tale wedding. And we were so sad when she said that she didn’t think she could do it,” her mother said.
But James managed to make it special.
James Day, a photographer found a touching way to make this day memorable. “I needed this moment to be special. I wanted to find a way that would bring you all together,” he said.
“And we are so happy that she changed her mind”
It was a really hard job for James. He explained, “I Googled, I asked everyone I knew…for 12 months I pondered this idea. I played through the day in my mind 1,000 times. I thought of all the moments where I could potentially rob Steph of having a real moment.”
This is how an idea of using 10 fabrics infused with different essential oils was created. He presented the pieces throughout the day so they could bring back the precious moments.
“Unbelievably, later that night, Linda was smelling and touching those fabrics and could already recall every single scent and the moment of the day is correlated to.”
The bride got an opportunity to “see” the wedding photos running her hands over specially made shots. “Basically, the image is heated and then it rises,” explained James.
James, add the fabrics and corresponding scents into the wedding album. Each page contained photos accompanied by audio snippets captured during those moments. The tactile photos, scents, fabrics, and audios help Steph to go back to one of the happiest days of her life and feel those emotions again.
“Unbelievable… You guys all have gone through so much trouble to make sure that this has been such an inclusive wedding. And this means so much,” exclaimed Steph.
