Angela sent me an e-mail a couple of months ago to tell me that she was pretty sure that I would be her wedding photographer. She had been following my blog for quite sometime and she thought that we (she and I) might just be a perfect match. Luckily for me…we were! Angela is a photographers dream Bride. She is oozing with excitement about her upcoming wedding day. She is fully soaking in all of the details of the planning and loving every minute of it. The details of this wedding are going to be an extra special arrangement because Angela and her Mom are collaborating as a team to create Angela’s dream wedding. Can you imagine a person more suited to coordinate your wedding than your own mother who has been a part of this dream of yours since you were a little girl? I hear that Angela’s Mom is quite the artist and I can’t wait to meet her in person as well. I have no doubt that magic is being created for this special wedding…even as I write.
Yesterday I had the pleasure of meeting John for the first time. Wow! I see exactly why Angela is so madly in love with him. He is incredibly kind, compassionate, gentle and attentive to her every need. And as you will see for yourself…he is pretty easy on the eyes as well. ;-) And the two of them together…well that’s just plain perfection. The way that each of their hands were never far from the others just warmed my heart. It was almost as if a minute apart might be too long. The sheer fact that my “job” is to document such incredible love stories is almost too good to be true. And this love story is no exception!
Angela is best friends with Johns sister. They have been friends since early childhood. So, John and Angela have been a part of each others lives for many years. Of course they were just friends for most of that time. Angela moved here to Jacksonville. A few seasons passed and then Angela’s best friend was set to be married. As fate would have it John and Angela rediscovered each other at that wedding. They realized something that hadn’t struck them before…they were completely compatible. They began to investigate where this connection might take them. Soon enough that connection brought John to Jacksonville and there they were…destined for love. It didn’t take long to confirm that another wedding would be taking place in the near future.
It’s stories like Angela and John’s that make my heart skip a beat. There is just something so endearing about two people who have known each other for so many years and then they discover an unfiltered love that is bound to stand the test of time. After all, they have known each other and each others families for most of their lives. So the groundwork for shared family values has already been established. Now they just move forward to expand upon what they already have…love for a lifetime. Angela and John, it is a true gift to me to be a small part of documenting this story between the two of you. I am grateful to know you both. May the love that you share today multiply for infinity! XOXO
