I was so excited to be able to capture Michele and Tyler's intimate Wedding. I really enjoy the closeness of small weddings and this one was even better because it was right in my home town. The ceremony and reception were at Emmett's Brewing Company. Michele and Tyler had a beautiful wedding and it couldn't have been anymore lovely.

Mike and Kathleen, your wedding was perfect!! I love how playful you are and how good you are to one another.  It was a joy to capture your wedding day and I can't wait to continue the party with you this weekend!!

I do not love you as if you were salt-rose, or topaz,
or the arrow of carnations the fire shoots off.
I love you as certain dark things are to be loved,
in secret, between the shadow and the soul.

I love you as the plant that never blooms
but carries in itself the light of hidden flowers;
thanks to your love a certain solid fragrance,
risen from the earth, lives darkly in my body.

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.
