bill & jim

Waking up to a crisp, January sunrise my heart was so full.  And it only got better.  This day was filled with just so much love.  So many people celebrating love and commitment, holding each other up, dancing, hugs, kisses, and tears. I'm so honored to have been wedding photographer for a handful of the many couples who got together at Hemming Park in Jax to get married following Florida's decision to legally recognize same sex marriages.

Bill and Jim kindly let me share some of their wedding pictures. These guys had been together 22 years before they got to tie the knot legally, and I'm forever grateful I got to be there when they did. Enjoy their smiles, it's kinda hard not to.

So, Chase and I go way back.  Like, back to the days when we "dated" in the 4th grade way back.  More than that though he's a pretty swell guy, hilarious and smart and kind, and Ramona matches every bit of it.  Anyhow, their wedding was pretty wonderful.  Set on a peaceful North Carolina farm, full of wit and heart. And there were bagpipes, which amps up the awesome factor in any situation.
