Being a third wheel might sound a bit funny—or even awkward—but as a wedding photographer who attends over 50 weddings a year, it’s honestly one of the best “third wheel” gigs you could ask for. I get to witness some of the most beautiful, raw, and real moments in people’s lives, and trust me, it’s way more fun than it sounds.
A Front-Row Seat to Love Stories
Unlike your typical third wheel situation, my role means I’m there with permission and purpose. I get to watch couples in love, families connecting, and friends celebrating—all from a front-row seat. Every wedding is a new story, full of unique personalities, traditions, and surprises. And I get to be the one who freezes those memories in time.
The Good, the Laughs, and the Tears
Weddings aren’t just about stunning dresses and fancy venues. They’re about the little moments—the dad wiping away a tear, the couple stealing a quiet kiss behind the scenes, or the hilarious dance moves that no one expected. As a third wheel, I get to see the laughter, the nerves, the excitement, and the deep emotions that make weddings so unforgettable.
No Pressure, Just Enjoy the Ride
One of the best parts about being a third wheel at weddings is that I’m not in the spotlight—I’m behind the camera, capturing the candid and real. That means I get to be a fly on the wall, blending in while still being a part of the magic. It’s a front-row pass to joy, and I love every second of it.
Witnessing the Beautiful Chaos
If you think weddings are smooth and perfect, think again. There’s always some chaos—last-minute changes, little mishaps, and unpredictable moments. But that’s what makes each wedding uniquely beautiful. Being the third wheel means I’m there to capture the moments that are often missed but make the story complete.
Forming Connections Beyond Photos
Over time, many couples become more than clients—they become friends. I’m lucky to be invited back for anniversaries, baby photos, and milestones. Being a third wheel means I get to build genuine connections, and that’s what makes this job so special.
Why Being a Third Wheel is the Best Job Ever
At the end of the day, being the third wheel at weddings means being trusted to tell stories through images. It’s about capturing the love, the joy, and the real moments that last a lifetime. I’m not just a photographer—I’m a memory maker, a storyteller, and yes, the best third wheel you’ll ever meet.
