Estefanny Corilla Chinchay, the talented owner of Fanny Productions specializing in wedding photography, leads a dual life that intertwines her passion for capturing love stories with her role as a devoted dog parent to Oso, a spirited companion full of energy and antics.
On a picturesque day in Pampas, Peru, Chinchay set out on foot to meet a newlywed couple for a scheduled photo shoot near her home. Little did she know, Oso had other plans. As she prepared to leave, camera in hand, Oso’s keen senses picked up on the excitement, and he decided to tag along. Despite Chinchay’s attempts to gently shoo him back inside, Oso was determined, trotting along beside her with an eagerness that hinted at his curiosity about the day’s activities.
Upon arriving at the designated location, Chinchay greeted the elegant newlyweds, poised and radiant in their wedding attire. The scene was set for a romantic and memorable shoot, with the soft glow of the sun casting a golden hue over the surroundings. However, Oso, always the center of attention wherever he went, couldn’t resist joining in on the festivities.
Moments into the shoot, as Chinchay carefully framed her shots and directed the couple, Oso seized the opportunity to make his grand entrance. With a joyful bark and a leap of exuberance, he bounded through the bride’s outstretched veil, much to the surprise and amusement of everyone present.
“I had mixed feelings about it,” Chinchay recalled with a laugh, remembering the unexpected interruption. “The couple was initially taken aback, but we managed to retrieve the veil quickly and restore order. Thankfully, our team was quick on their feet.”
After Oso’s brief moment in the spotlight, he was gently led away to a safe spot where he could observe the proceedings without further interruptions. The shoot resumed smoothly, but the laughter and light-heartedness sparked by Oso’s playful antics lingered in the air, adding a joyful energy to the atmosphere.
For Chinchay, who has witnessed countless weddings and captured numerous tender moments, this particular shoot stood out as a testament to the unpredictable charm of working with animals. “It was definitely a unique experience,” she admitted. “Having my dog unexpectedly join the shoot and create such a memorable moment—it’s something I won’t forget.”
As she continued to document the couple’s special day, Chinchay couldn’t help but marvel at Oso’s ability to inject joy into any situation. “He looked so funny and carefree,” she remarked fondly. “Despite the initial surprise, everyone ended up laughing and enjoying the moment. It was a reminder of how pets can brighten our lives in unexpected ways.”
Back home after the shoot, Oso returned to his usual playful self, blissfully unaware of the laughter and fond memories he had left behind. “This is just one of many memorable instances we’ve had with him,” Chinchay reflected. “His playful spirit and boundless energy bring so much joy to our lives every day.”
In the realm of wedding photography, where every moment is carefully orchestrated and emotions run high, Oso’s spontaneous appearance served as a delightful reminder of the beauty in spontaneity and the joy that comes from embracing the unexpected. As Chinchay continues to capture love stories through her lens, she treasures the moments like these—where love, laughter, and a furry friend collide to create memories that last a lifetime.
