love and marriage...

tonight i had the opportunity to photograph this super-cute couple. it was a lot of fun just sharing in the obvious love they have for each other. it occurred to me on my long drive home (ALONE!!!) that the reason i have fallen so "in love" with photography is that it gives one the opportunity to share intimacy, at times, with complete strangers. much of life is spent brushing shoulders with people whose hearts we sadly don't connect to, and whose eyes we probably never notice. tonight i was thankful for a little taste of the kind of unencumbered fellowship i think our Father meant us to share with one another here in the shadowlands, and for the trust shared to capture, on camera, the building commitment of a man to a woman.
