a lesson in LOVE
Posted by Anna: I just have to share my experience at Stephanie and Peter's wedding yesterday. We met Stephanie at her parent's house where she was getting ready. My first observation was that everyone was very organized and calm. It was a pleasure photographing her getting dressed etc. However, what really hit me happened when Stephanie walked down the stairs in her gown and her father saw her for the first time. He was choked up and there was an extremely proud yet heartfelt look on his face. What I began to notice, and this continued to occur throughout the day, was that the utmost focus was on love and relationships. It was so PURE and simple. I was so touched by this overwhelming emotion that it motivated me even more to capture these relationships and the love between their family and friends. I am so grateful to be a wedding photographer and I feel privileged to have the responsibility of preserving these moments for them. At the end of the evening, I went home, kissed and hugged my mom (who was caring for my boys while I was at the wedding) and went to bed grateful for my family and friends. I'll be sure to post some of their photographs soon...
Remember you don't have to wait for a special occasion to show someone how much you love them. None of us have any guarantees in life so be sure to show PURE love everyday. So to those of you who are taking the time to read this...I wish you much happiness and love in your life : )
