Frankie McCamelly takes up the story.
And my name's Jerome and I'm the father of Aisha and I also like doing photography and video.
Oh, there you are!
For years, Jerome has been working as a wedding photographer in Melbourne, Australia, capturing those special moments as the day unfolds.
And since she remembers, Aisha has been asking to come along.
The answer was always, no, you're not old enough yet.
Maybe when you're older, maybe when you're 12.
But her luck soon changed.
This opportunity came, luckily the bride was a photographer, and she just asked for a photo from behind as she's coming in, and then a photo from behind as she was leaving the church.
And the safe shot is always inside the church for when the bride comes in, and outside the church when the bride and groom exit.
So I thought little Asha could just, you know, could be there to do it.
And what was that like, turning up to a wedding and having a camera in your hands?
Not only were the shots brilliant, but Jerome's social media post showing Aisha taking photos at the wedding went viral.
I just loved watching Aisha because she was really hungry for the moment.
She wasn't just standing just like she was intentional.
Like it's an amazing feeling if your daughter shows an interest in what you do to start with and actually wants to come with you to work and then does such an amazing job at the age of nine.
Like it was pretty special.
Since then, Aisha has done the odd ceremony with her dad.
She's also directed a leaving video for her school.
Aisha came home from school one day and just said, my principal's retiring.
