[wedding] a night of romance

one of the last songs they danced to was sung by the beautiful norah jones.

"...I want to walk with you...
                                 on a cloudy day.
                                                       in fields where the yellow grass grows knee-high...
                     so won't you try to come...come away with me and we'll kiss...
         on a mountaintop...
come away with me and I'll never stop loving you ...

romance was definitely the theme of their most beautiful wedding that my lovely sister of elizabeth ann photography
and I got to photograph on this perfect fall evening...

no detail went without notice...
the detail of her dress, the custom tailoring of the tuxedo's, the flowers of deep burgandy
arranged by everybody loves flowers, artistic and tasteful hor'deurves by chef robert,
the custom wine hand selected by the groom himself,
sweet stringed music sung sweetly as the sunset over this most gorgeous backyard wedding.

yes, romance.
and a very happily ever after for this gorgeous bride & groom. :)

[prelude]: john & kerri

happily ever after

there are moments when you kinda get outside yourself and take a step back from what you're absorbed in and audibly gasp at the beauty you get to behold.
this was one of those moments for me.

you see I've had the privilege to have known this girl for about ten years.
the privilege to see her weave through adolescence with grace, beauty and passion.
to have had the privilege to see this lovely young lady grow into the most beautiful woman inside and out.
and on this day?  this picturesque sunshine-y day fit with the most beautiful sunset?
this beautiful day I got to witness her say "i do" to her handsome fireman/rancher man who visibly loves her.
tremendously in fact.

she looked like cinderella.
literally.
and I simply love this woman and wish her nothing less than her happily ever after.
