COVID-19

Love Will Persevere

This affects everyone. It might affect us differently, but in some way it is making it’s mark on our lives. And that is one of the beautiful and horrible things about this situation.

While some children are rejoicing because they don’t have have to goto school, some parents are pulling their hair out. Medical staff and essential workers carry on knowing their job is more risky but as important as ever. Hundreds woke up to find themselves unemployed, while others put their grinding commutes and business attire on hold, and work from home.

Small business owners are holding their breath as their livelihood becomes more and more uncertain. But we just take it one day at a time, and know that we are not alone, and there for sure are people out there who have it much worse.

As a wedding photographer, I can’t help but feel for the couples who have to put their dreams on hold, or come to terms with a new version of their perfect day.

On Friday I was walking through a park with my husband and our little one, as we witnessed a very small and quick wedding ceremony. I watched the bride’s face closely as I often do when I am shooting weddings. Is she stressed, is her mind wandering, is she happy? And she truly seemed so happy. She was glowing! I don’t know what her wedding plans were, if family and loved ones couldn’t be there, if she lost a lot of money. But in that moment it seemed like all was right in the world, she was marring the love of her life, and all the details, the fancy food, the flowers, just disappeared from their minds.

It was a beautiful reminder, that all we need is love.
