Sometimes opportunities arise and you move forward not even realizing the full scope.  If just feels right.  Back in May we received a call from an organization called Wish Upon a Wedding.  They are the first non-profit wish granting organization providing weddings for couples facing terminal illness.  It was Wednesday and they working feverishly to create the first event for the Seattle chapter  the following Sunday.  We agreed, only understanding where we were to be and that we would be volunteering to photograph a wedding.  What an incredible blessing it turned out to be.  Shelly & Jay have a remarkable story, and thanks to the tireless efforts of Wish Upon a Wedding, the final chapter was a grand celebration for their wedding.  Their wedding was a stark reminder of why we marry.  To be joined to the one we love, for better or worse in sickness and health.  Never before have those words held such meaning for me.  Rylee & I were honored and so grateful to have been a part of Jay & Shelly’s day.  We’ll post additional pictures next week now that we have the green light, but for now you can read about their story on today’s MSN.com page.  It is so nice to see an organization with such a big heart making the headlines, a little more of that would go a long way.  Click here to read the full article.
