Unbridled Love

Unbridled Love

Uploaded: October 25, 2008

Description

Nik Color Efex Pro-polaroid transfer + vignette blur
I went with a friend to practice shooting this small beach wedding. The couple knew each other in Brooklyn as small kids, but later lost touch with each other. A recent dream/vision of Howard dying in a car accident had Maggie searching for her childhood sweetheart, whom she found in FL. They were reunited after 25+ years and Howard proposed over the phone. Maggie accepted and came to FL and they were married last Saturday. Tuesday night as they were heading off to their honeymoon, Maggie's vision came true. They were involved in a car accident and Howard died. Maggie is in critical condition. While I do not know them personally, their love for each other is evident in the images I took. I pray for them and their families.

Carol- A beautiful picture of love. A sad story that just pulls at the heart. I am happy that he at least died in love with his lifelong friend and had the chance to make her his wife.
Touching picture and story.
Wonderfl work Carol. #6657693

Beautiful photo. Love the effect. I'm so glad they got to get back with each other. Such a sad ending. I started crying when I read the ending. My prayers are with her and her family. Please keep us all posted on her condition. #6657745

How tragic for the bride to have her dreams come true, in the best sense, AND the worst sense! I'll pray for Maggie's physical recovery, and for her emotional recovery from this heart-breaking period in her life.
Carol, your image of this beautiful couple is marvelous ~ the love just radiates off the screen. The effect is perfect for this precious moment in time. #6661249
