Love one another, but make not a bond of love:
Let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls.

in Love,
Love is patient, love is kind.
It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.
It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.
Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.
It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails.
~ 1 Corinthians

in Love,
I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where.
I love you straightforwardly, without complexities or pride;
so I love you because I know no other way
than this: where I does not exist, nor you,
so close that your hand on my chest is my hand,
so close that your eyes close as I fall asleep.
~ Pablo Neruda

Hear my soul speak:
The very instant that I saw you, did
My heart fly to your service.

in Love,
A friend of mine says he can always judge a man’s character by the radiance of his woman. I think you can understand a woman’s character by the quality of women that surround her on her wedding day. If we were to use this formula when it comes to Megan and Eric they would easily rate off the charts. Megan (like her bridesmaids) is stunning, smart and wildly generous. Seeing her with her women friends reminded me of spending time with mine, it is as if they each wanted to give the most, love each other the most, contribute to each other’s fun the most. Joy in their presence is the only option. And then we experience Eric – directed, overjoyed, happy at the happiness of Megan. It is with genuine and incomprehensible joy that I have somehow landed not only in a career that allows me to use my head, heart and hands in equal measure but one that is in service to people I truly admire and to love that inspires me. ENJOY!
Epic glamour and beauty only scratches the surface. With Destinee, her beauty is buoyant. Her explosion of joy when she sees the chandeliers hung, when Seth responds to her desire, when her cousin and best friend stretches herself to share with the whole wedding how much she loves and admires Dest, when she discovers a yoga class she loves – it lifts up everyone in her presence. It is her gift to the world, her willingness and commitment to open in love and beauty. Seth is the perfect match for her – it equal proportion to her openness and beauty is his strength and willingness to be a structure for her to shine brighter and be freer. Essentially insuring his continued growth and freedom.
During their wedding ceremony at Villa Camino Cielo, officiated by their mentor, Erwan Davon, Seth’s sister read the following Rumi poem. It was the first I had heard it and like Rumi poems are wont to do – my heart burst open. This time, however, it was not simply the poem but how perfectly the last two stanzas suited Seth & Destinee, suited these two lovers –
They are the chosen ones
ho have surrendered.
Once they were particles of light
now they are the radiant sun.
They have left behind the world of deceitful games
They are the privileged lovers
who create a world
with their eyes of fiery passion.
It’s easy to get me swooning – acts of love, words of affirmation and poetry rarely miss the mark. This one from Emily Dickinson, read at Ian & Melissa’s elegant and perfectly curated Off The Beaten Path Wedding was a bulls eye.
It’s all I have to bring today
This, and my heart beside
This, and my heart, and all the fields
And all the meadows wide
Be sure you count Should I forget
Some one the sum could tell
This, and my heart, and all the Bees
Which in the Clover dwell.
It was a pleasure capturing this day, not only because Ian & Melissa are awesome, fun and stylishnor simply because the venue was utterly stunning and the full moon rising over the Sonoma Hills unexpectedly glorious. It was a joy to capture this day because Ian and Melissa and their friends, family and the team from Off the Beaten Path Weddings continually give their hearts AND everything else. This, and my heart beside, This, and my heart, and all the fields, all the meadows and bees and THIS my heart beside, All these beautiful images and my heart beside. Enjoy!
