Susan P, Lynn, and Robin; Thanks so much for your positive comments. Yes, there will be more of them, I did not get a shot of the full dress, but there was a professional photographer, and I am sure she got several dozen. Mine, were more of an intimate nature. This was a very romantic wedding, and the diffused glow, seemed to fit just right. #575247

You caught a moment in time they will share for a lifetime.....the way they are looking at eachother in this picture is with PURE LOVE ! The photo says it all.
I LOVE that they chose to do thier own type of wedding....I am renewing my vows with my husband next year and we are doing something similiar. It will be nine years in a few days for us and on our tenth, since we didn't have a wedding...he promised me we could renew and have a lavish renewel party....I cannot wait....
This picture is just beautiful and the joy and happiness as well as love comes through..beaming thru !!!
Blessings, Jenny N Bama #5878182
