Is this small paragraph natural?

Is this paragraph natural?

In love with mankind, its skin and its emotions, that's what comes first in my way of working. But I am always looking to take a photo whether graphic, colorful or extravagant that will make my photo-report that much more fun. A mix of traditional and modern that will make the wedding not only a unique moment but also pleasant to look at for the whole family and all the generations as the years go by.

Thanks

Sorry, not to me. Anonymous In love with mankind, its skin and its emotions, that's what comes first in my way of working. From what I could gather, the passage suggests that you are a photographer trying to describe your work.

Hi.
You should have put your effort in correcting the original post rather than giving comments on my post.
"will makes" was indeed a slip of pen. So you did not need to explain me the elementary grammar, Meanwhile, being in love with people is a correct phrase to use.
