Ivor said, “You’ll be more curious if I didn’t tell you what it was. It won’t be exciting if I reveal every little surprise.”
“I guess you’re right,” Bonnie agreed.
Then, the photographer returned with his camera and led the couple to a beautiful spot to take pictures. He was about to suggest poses to them but realized they looked spectacular, no matter which angles he shot from.
Bonnie and Ivor exuded love for each other. Whenever they looked at each other, the appreciation in their eyes gave rise to perfect photos. The photographer simply did not have to guide them.
On the other hand, Bonnie wondered why the photographer was so quiet. She could not help but ask, “Do you need us to do certain poses or anything?”
He waved and said, “That’s not necessary. Just act naturally and be yourself. You two are so stunning that every picture I took has been perfect. I can’t find any flaws even if I tried.”
Bonnie could not help but giggle, thinking the photographer was excellent with words. Ivor also chuckled. The photographer noticed it and quickly took their picture. “Perfect! You smiled while looking into each other’s eyes. Your love for each other is unmistakable and artistic!”
“Oh? Can I see the pictures?”
‘It can’t be as good as he says, right? It must be a tactic to make us pay him more. That must be why he’s forcing himself to shower us with praise.’
The photographer did not hesitate to show Bonnie his camera. “Feast your eyes, miss. I’ve taken pictures of many couples, but I must say, you two look impeccable together. I don’t even have to edit them. I can print them out as is.”
Bonnie took the camera and was stunned when she saw their pictures. They stood shoulder-to-shoulder together.
‘I thought he only praised us to make us spend more money in his studio. I didn’t think he was being serious. Ivor and I look like a match made in heaven when we stand under the lights. We smiled simultaneously and made the picture come to life.’
Ivor went over to look when he noticed Bonnie staring at the pictures. When he saw it, he could not help but say, “That’s a lovely picture if I say so myself. Well done.”
Bonnie nodded. “I agree.”
She returned the camera to the photographer and added, “Here, take more pictures and print them for us, will you?”
The photographer patted his chest and said confidently, “You can count on me, miss! I promise you’ll be satisfied with every picture I take.”
Bonnie giggled when she realized how professional he was. “All right, I trust you. Thanks, mister!”
“You’re too kind. After all, it’s my job.” Then, he continued to take the couple’s pictures.
As they nearly wrapped up the shoot, Bonnie did something when Ivor was not looking. She stood on her toes and kissed his lips lovingly, stunning him.
