This Wedding Photographer Went Viral On TikTok After Sharing Her Theory On How To Spot Love That Just Won’t Last
Everyone wants to know if their love will last; we’ll read countless articles on love and relationships or how to tell if you’ve found “the one.”
However, there’s also a competing question approached in many articles; how do you know if they’re not the one, or that your love isn’t built to last?
Wedding photographers play a crucial yet subtle role in the wedding ceremony.
Yet, we might not usually consider all they’ve observed in their shoots or whether they have continued interest in what happens with couples after their big day.
Shayla Herrington, a photographer from Arkansas, shares her wedding tips and her experiences through her Tik Tok page. Her videos include advice on saving money for your wedding, details on her pregnancy and travel updates, and stories of wild nuptials.
Her most-viewed video (280,000 views and counting) recalls a conversation she had with a seasoned photographer.
He had been in and around the wedding industry for between 10 and 15 years and told Shayla he “can always tell if the couple will last or not based on three things.”
Shayla then shares the “first indicator” that this photographer pointed out to her.

“One of the spouses will take more than, like, three family photos without the other spouse,” Shayla said.
She then processes what she thinks about this rule, agreeing that this behavior seems kind of “suspicious.”
In the comments, her viewers agree that it feels odd to take more photos with your parents or siblings alone than with the new addition to your family.
They could see it as a way of making sure you have photos excluding your spouse; if the marriage goes down the drain, you may only want to remember the event itself.
The second indicator love just won’t last between a couple is that “the bridesmaids or the groomsmen will avoid talking about the spouse when they’re getting ready or doing toasts…and that’s typically because they don’t like them.”
Though there’s debate about how important it is for your friends and family to like your spouse, it seems that, more often than not, avoiding the topic altogether is a sign that there’s doubt in the air about the strength or fit of the partnership.
And, finally, Shayla shares the last indicator: “One of the spouses will spend more time with friends and family than with their spouse.”
This indicator falls on a fine line since weddings are a gathering of folks from near and far that you may have missed.
However, as a newly married couple, you will enter into these same relationships together in the future. Because of this, it only makes sense to include your partner in these interactions and vice versa.
In the wake of her unexpected uptick in views, Shayla shared her reaction to going viral. She posted a video featuring screenshots of news outlets that covered her story, using the sound bite “I think I may have girl bossed too close to the sun.”
But from where we’re standing, it looks like she’s making a name for herself and giving couples a lot to think about when it comes to their big day.
