this title is completely true in every sense and i have never seen a wedding in my entire life that was more beautiful (and i go to a lot!).  i heard some really disheartening news last week about my friend sarah.  she found out that a previous bout with cancer (that was gone) has returned   on her lungs. instead of going through chemo with a fiance, she wanted to go through this walk with a husband.  so everyone made a couple of calls and her wedding was planned in less than 24 hours!  i have never seen a community come together so fast to plan a wedding before, but it was amazing! 

backing up, sarah contacted me to shoot her wedding in november of this year.  it was going to take place on thanksgiving weekend and i just could not make it happen with my holiday schedule. i of course was disappointed because i wanted to capture that day for her and had been planning on it even before she had a husband in mind!

if anyone has ever planned a wedding, you know all of the details that might take place.  it may take 6 months (at least) to find all the vendors to make it happen.  this wedding was a testament to what it really is and is not about. what took place on sunday was a beautiful act and reminded me that this is the perfect example of what a wedding should be about.  it was all so beautiful and true.  it encourages me to live life day to day and relish every moment as if it was my last.  i am glad that i did get to shoot her wedding after all!

a prayer service is being held tonight at ecclesia for sarah @ 8:00. click here to see more from their beautiful day.
