My name is Jack and I'm a professional photographer. I mostly do weddings, but I also do portraits and the occasional boudoir portrait session. The boudoir sessions are few and far between and usually are for a wife to give to her husband for his birthday or anniversary. They are typically pretty tame and I always have my female assistant present to make the women I'm photographing feel comfortable and safe. Unfortunately beautiful women who want me to take pictures of them in their underwear or less are not knocking down my door. One can dream though.
I make a decent living...even with the fact that everyone now considers themselves an amateur/pro photographer with the advent of the "pro" cameras on everyone's cell phones and the ability to "Photoshop" average images into "works of art". Fortunately there are still people out there that understand and respect what a professional photographer can bring to the table. After being in the business for over 10 years I have built a solid reputation and cater mostly to high end clients.
About a year ago I met with Katie and Evan to discuss their wedding. They were both very attractive (which makes my job much easier), personable and easy going. We got along great. Their wedding wasn't for 9 months but I book weddings pretty far in advance and they were interested in me doing some engagement shots. They also wanted me to accompany them on their honeymoon and document it in a photo-journalistic type of way. I thought this was pretty odd request, but they said that they wouldn't want me to be with them all the time, and they would pay for the entire trip as well as my fee. So it would be like a paid vacation where I would get to shoot a beautiful couple in a beautiful location (the Caribbean). It didn't take me long to agree.
About a week after the meeting I had an opening and we did the engagement shots. They loved the images and ordered one of the most expensive albums that I offer. About a month before their wedding, Katie got in touch with me and asked about doing a boudoir session so that she could give the album to Evan as a wedding gift. I was thrilled. One because she was beautiful and it would be easy to get great images of her and two, she was likely to order another high end album. We did the shoot a few days later and it was amazing. She knew exactly what to do and the images we captured would make any man drool, and she ordered another expensive album.
A few weeks later was the wedding. My assistant photographer and I created some beautiful images, and the wedding went off without a hitch, which is pretty rare. Two days later I packed my gear and personal items for the honeymoon. I met Katie and Evan at the airport and to my surprise we flew first class. I took a few pics along the way, but nothing too interesting. A few hours later we landed and were picked up and brought to the resort where we would be staying for the next week.
The all inclusive resort had a private beach, multiple pools, a workout facility, multiple restaurants and villas where the guests stayed. Katie and Evan got the honeymoon villa and I stayed in one of the standard ones near them. It was late afternoon by the time we were checked in. We decided to meet for lunch the next day to discuss their itinerary and decide when I would be with them and when I would be on my own.
Once I got to my villa I quickly changed into my board shorts, a tee shirt and flip flops and made my way to the beach, stopping by the bar to get a beer. I found a lounge chair under an umbrella, took off my shirt and dropped it on the chair, slid off my flops, downed the rest of my beer and walked across the white sand and went for a swim in the crystal clear ocean. When I returned from my swim I laid down on the lounge chair and drifted off to sleep. I woke up about an hour later and saw that the sun was making its way towards the ocean and my stomach told me it was time to get something to eat. I put my shirt back on and made my way back to the bar by the pool to get another beer. The cute bartender in a bikini top and shorts that barely covered her perfectly formed ass brought me my beer.
"So are you here alone?" she asked. "I noticed you earlier at the beach."
"I am" I said as I smiled, "I guess that is fairly uncommon for a place like this?"
"It is, but not unheard of." She looked at m for a minute. "So let me guess, you just needed to get away and decided to stay at a place that caters to couples so you wouldn't get hit on constantly by single women" she said with a smirk.
"Yep, that's it...I get really tired of beautiful women always propositioning me when I go on vacation so I stick to couples resorts." I responded doing my best to keep a straight face.
"What, you don't get asked by couples to be their third?" she said as her smirk turned into a smile.
"Well obviously that happens, but to be honest...that's kind of my thing...which is why I try to stay at these types of resorts", I said, now unable to keep from smiling. This was turning into a fun conversation with a very cute girl!
"Ha! I bet it is." she responded, looking me up and down.
"What, you disapprove? Hey, I always say don't knock it until you've tried it!" and took a sip of my beer.
"Who said I haven't tried it?"
I almost spit out my beer but kept my composure barely. "And you still disapprove huh? Well you must have been with the wrong couple."
"Must have" she said as she gazed into my eyes. My goodness I was in love.
"I'm Jack" I said and held out my hand.
"I'm Lisa" she said as she took my hand. "So, really...what are you doing here in paradise all by yourself?"
"Well...to be honest I'm not by myself, I am with a couple."
"HA!" she blurted out "so you weren't kidding!"
"As their honeymoon photographer, come on, get your mind out of the gutter." Although to be honest I liked where her mind was.
"That's interesting, I don't think I have seen that here before. So how does that work...you follow them around and take their picture?"
"Pretty much...I'll be meeting with them tomorrow for lunch to plan out when they want me to tag along and document their honeymoon and when they want to be alone." I told her.
"You must be a pretty good photographer if they brought you along for their honeymoon."
"I'm ok." I said and took another sip of my beer.
"Ok, Jack the honeymoon photographer, I should probably stop ignoring my other customers, I'm sure I'll see you around." she said as she turned around to tend to her other customers. I couldn't help but stare at her ass as she worked the bar.
I walked back to my villa with a spring in my step and took a quick shower and got dressed for dinner. The resort had multiple restaurants on the property, so I picked the Japanese one so I could get some sushi. After dinner I made my way back to the bar hoping to see Lisa again, but was disappointed to find she wasn't there. I had a few more beers at the bar and called it a night.
++++++++++
The next morning my head was a little thick from the beer but after a quick dip in the ocean, some breakfast and coffee I was feeling good. I headed to the beach to relax and read until I met Katie and Evan for lunch to plan out the rest of the trip. As I looked around, I could see I really was the only one there without a partner. No wonder Lisa found it so surprising. Oh well I thought, it had been a while since I had been on vacation and being alone never really bothered me. I opened my book and started reading.
"Care for a drink handsome?"
I looked up from my book and saw Lisa standing next to me, once again in short shorts and bikini top.
