Actually, the skies did open up something fierce at one point. The day went like this. Wake up beautiful sun, beautiful sun, beautiful sun, THEGODSARETRYINGTODROWNME, beautiful sun beautiful, lovely moon, eat some caramels made by Will's mom as I drive home. It was an amazing day, truth be told. We were in Rye, NY and I was enjoying all that the charming area had to offer amidst granddad's Leica M3, some incredible Scottish traditions [and scotch, mind you], a breathtaking moonrise, and remarkable friends and family celebrating together. One of my favorite things about weddings has always been how the support of friends, family, and loved ones can transform a relationship. Loud wide angle moments, quiet echoes that emanate from the main thoroughfare, and at the end of the night, you are guided home by light.
This is a tough one to pin down to one specific event or action that we do; it's more so seeking the joy in each other. Having been together for eight and half years now, you really become a part one another's life to the point where things lose a bit of their shine and appeal when your other half is not present to share in the experience with you; even if it's just a relaxed night hanging out with friends. It's the little things that really bring the most joy for us like going for a hike in the woods or a walk together through the neighborhood (we sound like we're 80 years old), an email on a stressful day when she says she's thinking of you, or waking up early on a Sunday but staying in bed for hours talking and laughing together. I feel it's these things that most people take for granted but help us continue to appreciate each other and find the joy in life.

Earlier this year, Kate and Mike trekked away from their beloved NYC over to Tucker's Point in Bermuda for a weekend of celebrating, golf, and getting married. The weather could not have cooperated better and everyone was in high spirits for the party. Kate and Mike have an understated elegance about them - calm, quiet, all smiles and truly understand the importance of family and legacy. The wedding day was filled with joy and laughter and a huge sigh of relief from everyone who was able to escape their day to day chaos and enjoy a little bit of island life.

So here's a few random frames from their rehearsal and rehearsal dinner. I don't share this part of the celebration very often, so I thought I'd start. No matter what is happening when, there are always images to be found. It's all life, after all.
