People often ask me about the inspiration behind the name of my photography business, and it’s one of my favorite things to share. Now, I can almost hear your thoughts—“Oh, she must be a huge Harry Potter fan, right?” And I get it, "Wand" does have that magical ring to it, but surprisingly, I have to confess that I’ve never actually watched any of the Harry Potter movies. I know, I know—don’t throw the wands at me just yet! For all my clients who are devoted fans, don’t worry, we can still be great pals.
The inspiration behind my business name goes a little deeper. I grew up in sunny Southern California, where the magic of Disneyland was always just around the corner. I had the privilege of visiting the park often, and later, I worked at the Disneyland Resort in my early adult years. That time in my life was infused with a sense of nostalgia and wonder that stuck with me. Disney is more than just a theme park—it's a place where magic is woven into every detail, and the memories created there last a lifetime.
This nostalgia shaped my vision for my photography business. I wanted to capture not just photographs, but moments that evoke that same sense of magic, warmth, and timelessness. I knew I wanted my business to reflect that personal connection to the joy, wonder, and happiness I’ve always felt in those special places. And that’s where the name “A Wave of the Wand Photography” came to life.
To me, the name embodies the feeling of being transported into a world of magic. It’s not just about capturing a wedding or an event—it’s about taking my clients through the magical process of documenting their special moments. Think of it like Cinderella’s fairy godmother: with a wave of her wand, she turns the ordinary into something extraordinary. As a photographer, I like to think of myself in the same way. When I show up at my clients’ weddings, I arrive with my metaphorical “wand” in hand, ready to turn the day into a collection of cherished memories that will last a lifetime.
"A Wave of the Wand Photography" isn't just a name for me—it's an embodiment of my approach to photography: enchanting, heartfelt, and full of wonder. It’s about creating something beautiful from start to finish and giving my clients memories that feel as magical as a trip to Disneyland itself. I want to capture those fleeting moments, those small details, and those once-in-a-lifetime experiences, just like the magic Disney fans experience when they walk into the park.
So, while I may not be a Harry Potter enthusiast, I’m definitely a lover of magic, nostalgia, and the kind of memories that stay with you long after the day is done. Whether you’re a Disney fan or not, my goal is to create something just as enchanting for you—the kind of moments that make you smile, relive, and cherish for years to come.
