The first kiss at the end of the aisle, guests blurred to either side.

Down The Aisle

An engagement session that mostly involved sitting in a field, talking.

Tall Grass

Coral and gold in the bouquet, the whole tree behind them turning to match.

Days old, asleep on a shoulder, next to the window.

Late sun across the water, pampas grass catching the last of it.

He picked her up and she did not stop laughing.

The bride and the smallest guest at the wedding, mid-air.

A spring afternoon, a baby getting kissed, the light doing the rest.

Hands over her face, ring box open, ferns everywhere.

A minute away from the party, the ridge line soft behind them.

Both bands and the engagement ring, set down in velvet with delphinium.

Bouquets lined up edge to edge in coral, cream and hot pink.

Five of them, one gravel path, full bloom season.

Downtown at dusk, the marquee doing the lighting.

The rest of the family meeting the newest one.

Both bands, a pink boutonniere, and a hand resting on a white lapel.

A winter kiss at the fountain, coat and fur against the cold.

Cold morning, warm sweater, ring on show.

Two hands, one ring, everything else left out of frame.
