"lovers must not, like usurers, live for themselves alone. they must finally turn from their gaze at one another back toward the community. if they had only themselves to consider, lovers would not need to marry, but they must think of others and of other things. they say their vows to the community as much as to one another, and the community gathers around them to hear and to wish them well, on their behalf and its own. it gathers around them because it understands how necessary, how joyful, and how fearful this joining is." wendell berry
i am so endeared to this couple...from the first moment we met i was so drawn to their sincerity and depth. after a little last minute change in the wedding date due to a job opportunity i was so delighted that i was able to be present to their celebration.
i know that my pictures can't fully express the intimate, playful, emotional, and authentic spirit of the day. it was an honest celebration...not everything was primmed and polished. but what was beautiful were the hearts of these two amazing people. i have never heard a couple speak their vows with such conviction. and what was true throughout this whole day was how they delighted and honored the community around them. as reflected in the passage from wendell berry that they included in their program, they testified that their relationship is stregthened by the presence of their family and friends.
i walked away from this day inspired to be more for my husband, my family, my friends. thank you amanda and brian for the honor...

maybe my all time favorite...
i called her my anthroplogie bride...
the reception at her parents home had a field of sunflowers...delight!
okay i love this picture...amanda's dad is a serious hunter. this is only a small section of the trophey room...and amanda had at least one up there.
i love running into past couples...i captured ryan and sarah's wedding last summer and they were kind enough to recommend me to amanda and brian. happy anniversary friends!
and a big thanks to my friend sam for second shooting with me...it was a delight!
