You know when things happen in your life that make it glaringly obvious that something bigger is at work than you even know? That’s how I feel about my time with Ace & Robby. Since email number one, the universe has aligned every single thing to bring us together at the right time. And from our first phone call, when my face hurt from smiling so much, I knew the wedding photography gods had given me the greatest gift of all time.
In my line of work, I see A LOT of different kinds of love. Ancient love and young love, love that has stood the test of fire, love that still has a lot of growing to do. And somehow, in the way these two men look at one another, I see ALL of the kinds of love. All at once. That’s when you know it’s the good stuff. That beautiful, messy love that I LIVE for.
Just take a look, and you’ll see it too…
I could say so much about these two. SO MUCH. But as I sit here with my fingers hovering over the keyboard, all I can see is Kiersten & Michelle’s first dance playing on repeat in my head. With their friends and family gathered around them, they sang “Your Mess is Mine” (by Vance Joy) to one another as they swayed in the light of the setting sun. And in that moment, I knew these two might just be the most marriage-aware couple I’ve ever come across. It’s one thing to wear the dress, say the vows, and look longingly into your lovers’ eyes. But it’s quite another thing to commit to sharing a messy existence with another human being. Because that’s what marriage is, no matter who you are — it’s the most beautiful mess there ever was. These two don’t take the love of the other for granted, and wouldn’t waste a drop of it for the world.
