On October 30, 2004, I flew to Louisville KY to second shoot a wonderful wedding for Allegra’s Studio. A couple years later, I shot that groom’s sister’s wedding down on Daufuskie Island in South Carolina. I’d almost forgotten about the images from the Kentucky wedding – since it wasn’t my client, I didn’t do anything with them afterward, other than backing them up for safekeeping.
I ran across this shot quite by accident – I was pulling images from a different October 2004 wedding, but clicked on this folder instead, and this particular image just screamed at me. I haven’t even looked at this shot in almost eight years. It’s like the past jumped up in my face to give me a present.

Taking a look back at where I’ve been, the things I’ve seen, and the ways I saw them. It makes me that much more excited to find out where I’m going. I hope you like this image half as much as I do.
