The best things in life aren’t things. They are the moments
that make our hearts beat a little happier; they are the moments that make us
smile so big others can’t help but smile with us. They are quiet Sunday mornings; and
sometimes, they are the chances that we take.
Peter and Ashley’s love spans the North American continent:
a serendipitous result of Ashley’s decision to move to Canada. I think one of the most fascinating things
about my job is hearing each couples’ love story: the twist and turns of fate
that lead two strangers to become husband and wife. I often find myself silently marveling at
them – at how everything had to come together just right for two people to
meet. The romantic in me smiles at the
idea.
I first met Ashley through her cousin Megan (one of my past
brides). And though it would be many months before I could meet her and Peter
face-to-face, I liked her instantly. It
is the highest compliment I can receive to work with the same family again – to
be entrusted with capturing so many special moments, not once but twice, is a
huge honor.
Peter and Ashley are so amazing together. I love how their faces light up when they see
each other - their smiles perfectly echoing the joy the other feels. I love how gentle Peter is with his wife, how
lovingly his eyes turn when he looks at her. Amber and I loved getting to laugh and smile
with them as we shared in the celebration of their love with their family - family
that we now call friends.
And though we often look beyond the simple moments in life
to grander times, I hope, at least every now and then, Peter and Ashley stop
and marvel at all the simple moments that lead them to find each other in this
great big world of ours.
