Yesterday, I spent the day with my family in Bellingham. a place where so many memories were created – in the open green fields and historic, rustic, brick buildings. On the windy drive home that evening, with heavy rain pattering against the window, I started to reminisce about growing up there. It was the people<\/em> who made those memories come to life and who brought so much joy into my life \u2013 the gut-wrenching-laughter with friends, the adventures with my two brothers, and those late-night conversations with people from all walks. Being a wedding photographer, I see those same happy memories being created as friends and family come together to celebrate. love.<\/p>\n

To compliment sound of the rain, I put on the album, Plans<\/em><\/a>, by Death Cab for Cutie, and listened to it from top to bottom (incredible album), and started thinking about Nicole & Dave\u2019s wedding.<\/p>\n

The wedding ceremony took place on the countryside, at Kelley Farms<\/a>, set atop a hill and surrounded by green fields, evergreen trees, and a cozy rustic barn. Their closest friends, some of whom they\u2019ve known since grade school, surrounded them during the day, and every one shared such open and honest happiness with each other. There was so much love and support and it made the memories. meaningful.<\/p>\n

Oh, and while driving home that evening, I thought it would be fun to take the first sentence of every song on the album, Plans, and arrange them into a paragraph:<\/p>\n

\u201cIf I could open my arms, and span the length of the isle of Manhattan. I want to live where soul meets body, and let the sun wrap its arms around me. Squeaky swings and tall grass, the longest shadows ever cast. Alone on a train aimless in wonder, an outdated map crumbled in my pocket. No blinding light or tunnels to gates of white, just our hands clasped so tight. Burn it down till the embers smoke on the ground, and start new when your heart is an empty room. I once knew a girl, in the years of my youth. It was one hundred degrees, as we sat beneath a willow tree. And it came to me then that every plan is a tiny prayer to father time.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Congratulations Nicole & Dave – I hope these photos always make you smile.<\/p>\n
