Their wedding means a lot to me for many reasons. I don't even know if Robby & Emi will ever truly understand the significance and power of what they have taught me-- I don't know if I fully understand it myself-- but I do know that because of them, I am different. I am a different photographer. I am a different, changed person. Before, words like mercy, grace, & restoration contained little depth for me. They were simply nouns. Now, those words are verbs. To mercy. To grace. To restore.To give mercy abundantly. To extend grace. To restore life.I get it. Now, I get it. Or at the very least, I have seen it, and I'm humbled by it.I'm sure this all seems a little confusing, and honestly, I'm just letting myself type uninhibitedly-- I guess I just need you to know that love is radical and transformational and powerfully restorative. THIS IS CRAZY....seriously, it's crazy to go into a summer of photographing weddings expecting to learn a little more about love and photography, but instead to be completely sparked within yourself. Sparked. Burned. Branded. Pink with healing.Words cannot express my gratitude, Robby and Emi. You are rare. So rare. Your heart, (isn't it beautiful that I can reference your heart as a singular form), your character, your spirit, your kindness-- you are absolutely exceptional. So rare.Joe and I have talked about the kind of people we want to be. We want to be like you. We want to live like you. Thank you for raking out a path for us to follow. To learn a little more about Robby & Emi, check out their engagement shoot here.
