actually
i don't even know them
but
they were married on thursday
while he was home on leave from the service
and
they celebrated afterwards in the restaurant where her mom works
which happened to be the same place i was treating my mom to lunch
for mother's day
~back in my hometown~
my mom does know his grandma
~they were hospital roommates 49 years ago in the maternity ward with new babies~
so
when everyone was done eating
what else could i do
but ask if they wanted me to take their photos
~
they were so amazingly beautiful and in love
and
just sparkled when we walked down the street to a little park
~
during
the whole photo shoot
they laughed and kissed and smiled and kissed some more
~
he shipped back out yesterday
and
she'll be with him again in two months
~
congratulations
you love birds
and
thank you from the bottom of my heart for letting me photograph your special day
~
your future is so incredibly bright

i'm still editing their photos
but

How opportune for the young newlyweds to be at the restaurant and for you to have your camera. Such nice photos. How did your lunch with your mom go? Hope your Mothers Day was special too. I can see that you enjoyed doing something nice for this lovely couple.
Hi Beth,
I found your lovely blog via Sperlygirl, and am delighted to find another creative Beth! Ever since I entered blogland and got back into making art, I seem to be bumping into other people called Beth left, right and centre, having only met a couple in my life until now.
Anyway, love the photos and words
from another Beth
They look so happy. Raising my coffee mug to their success as a couple!
and you captured that love, you did, it is right here in these pictures, and also in the other ones over there, for all the world to see. you are so good at that. so very, very good at that...

They are clearly in love. How gorgeous.
You are so giving.

lucky you ... lucky them ... wonderful gift to all
Not sure who is luckier you witnessing such pure love or them being photographed by such talent. Probably a little of both.
Beautiful Beth! What a sweet story! Thanks for sharing the story and the photos!

You have the sweetest heart. What a lovely couple...(sigh) young love. :)
I imagine they were thrilled to have you take their picture. What a special thing to do.
What a great story. And what a photogenic couple. It's kismet that you were there.
You are the sweetest, Beth. I can so relate to happy young couples, having been to the most beautiful wedding on Friday evening - that of my middle son. I'll post photos tomorrow. It couldn't have been a more perfect day and Scribner Vineyards was a lovely setting.
The pictures you took of this dear couple will be cherished forever.
How sweet!!!! The photos are gorgeous.

these are stunning. I can feel the love oozing from the screen. thank you for sharing them with us here.
Love the pics and love your story even more. This is my son and my new daughter-in-law (my first). Thank you, Beth, for your talents and your warm and open heart.

You seriously have no idea how much this meant to us. You did a phenomenal job of capturing the love we have for each other that continues to grow day in and day out. you are extremely talented with what you do. we cannot thank you enough! Steph Eastlick
They're gorgeous!
sweet young life....

Just so you know, this made me tear up. I know how that feels. My hubby and I got married four days before his feet touched down in Iraq for a 16 month tour. God bless them and keep them safe.
How like you to thank them for the gift you gave them. Because, of course, your loving heart knew it was a gift to you, as well.
