Bell tower

 

 

 

I spent most of the day shooting this wedding overwhelmed with gratitude.

My husband is so involved with all the details of every wedding I shoot. At any point of the day he knows where I am and is usually praying me through it.   I spent the day collecting stories to tell him and half way through snuck off and talked to him because I JUST COULDN'T WAIT!!!

Jenean (the other photographer) and I work in sync, it's fluid.  Like our own language.

The Bride and Groom were a dream couple, in love and so easy to work with.  There have been weddings where I knew that I would count them as friends afterwards and this is one of them.

and the church, the church, the church....

Below is the picture of part of the bell tower.

Dr. Harris officiated the wedding and the fathers each gave a small charge. I usually cannot listen the whole message because I am so intent on getting the shots, but I heard a portion of the Groom's father's charge today and I am going to butcher it in my paraphrase but this is what I remember..

"When you think about the fact that Christ died for you, that His blood covered your sins, that you stand before Him now as forgiven, and that He has gone ahead to prepare a place for you, how do you not walk around in a constant state of gratitude?  How does that not effect every single circumstance you have to face?"

 

My mind is filled with so much but I am timing myself 10 minutes to blog this photo of the day and then back to my husband.

I love that statement the father made, and yet it is so easy to forget.

I also love that picture of the church. I'm a sucker for Gothic architecture. The main building in my hometown (make that nearest place with traffic light) was built in that style in 1803. Most of the buildings around it have tired to match it. It makes for a lot of memories...

It sounds like you had a wonderful time, to say the least!!  I hope you were able to settle down and get some sleep last night!  :) Glad things went so well and thanks for taking 10 minutes to share your photo and thoughts of the day~

I also loved the quote~it's so true~yet we humans do forget, and God knows that.. . . .that's why I'm so thankful we do communion, so we can meditate on those very thoughts.
