The other day I was asked why I photograph weddings and the answer was simple.
My reply, I photograph weddings because of the joy that I see in the bride’s eyes at any given moment throughout the day. To see that twinkle in her eyes, the smile on her face and the love she has not only for the groom, but she knows without a shadow of a doubt, that she is loved by him. She is whole, she is loved, and she is protected and her man will be there for her. It is that radiant joy that comes from the bride that fills my heart.
It is also a reminder of who I am supposed to be as a man and a husband. A man of integrity, a man that has made a decision to love the woman that he has made a vow to, and to keep that love in his heart, to respect her, to honor her, to be her shield and pillar, to lift her up to GOD and remember that she is a gift from HIM and that without her he is not whole. It reminds me to ensure that she has the twinkle in her eyes and that smile on her face, the same as the day she said YES to me. And when that smile and joy is not there, I need to look at myself and make changes to bring back the smile and joy. For as GOD LOVES me, and my happiness is important to HIM; I LOVE her and her happiness is important to me. She is the love of my life and I am only whole with her by my side.
Keep the love strong!
