Sometimes you come across an instance of pure love.

It comes in many forms. Different flavors of different people in different situations.

And if you haven’t experienced it in your life, you might blink and miss it.

But this wedding… you could blink all you want.

It hung in the air like a sticky dew. Palpable. Effervescent.

Rose petals, vanilla, baked bread, and that special treat grandma used to make

(not the one she made all the time, the SPECIAL one)

… all rolled into one.

David and Arielle are an amazing couple. There’s just no way around it.

Blanketed in warm thoughts, love, and hope from their family and friends - these two sit at the beginning of a wondrous life together.

Everyone needs a golden couple in their lives…

If you don’t have one, I suggest you find one. Stat.

For some, these gilded pairs are examples that fill us with the hope of what could be.

For others, they remind us to appreciate what’s been in front of us for years.

And when you love someone the way David and Arielle do, you fight for it with a tenacity that changes your life.

People stop and take note of something like that. It makes their breath, stop.

Silence.

A church-ful of hearts holding their breath.

A collective sigh exhales through the crowd as two souls are joined.

I am honored to have been able to help capture their day together, and fortunate to call them my friends.
