Now that I have you wondering what the title of this post is all about, I was recently pointed in the direction of a photography site titled I heart faces.  It’s a great community and place for photography resources and contests (you should go check it out), and this week their contest theme is Wedding Bells.  The only guidelines are that the photo submitted should include at least one face and be wedding themed.  And because I can’t resist a competition (especially one where the fabulous Jasmine Star is the judge) I’m gonna enter. Of course I am. It doesn’t have a 90 million dollar prize like tonight’s lotto draw, but one in a couple hundred has got to be better odds than one in a couple hundred million.
The photo I’ve chosen is still one of my favourites images, taken from this session a few months ago.  While not technically taken at a wedding, it is wedding themed.  It was the couple’s first wedding anniversary, and to celebrate it they chose to renew their wedding vows with each other.  Their actual wedding day was a huge affair, with over 400 guests.  So it’s fair to say they didn’t have a lot of time to themselves.  Renewing their vows was their way of intimately celebrating their wedding, and their marriage.  Apart from myself and the fabulously gorgeous couple, the celebrant was the only other person present.  A far cry from the first time they pledged their love and commitment to one another.
It was a beautiful day, and I still remember it with a smile in my heart.  Deep down inside this is what I live for. Love. And Love being lived out.

I’ll let you know how I go, both in the contest and in tonight’s lotto draw.  Though I suspect if we’ve had any success in the latter it might be a few weeks until my next post. And it may be from Hawaii. In our new beachfront apartment.
