Happy Anniversary to a couple we watched (and photographed!) marry 7 years ago. A winter wedding filled with warmth and love. Sounds trite but it’s true. And if you don’t believe me, here’s 16th century poet Thomas Campion.
Now winter nights enlarge
This number of their hours;
And clouds their storms discharge
Upon the airy towers.
Let now the chimneys blaze
And cups o’erflow with wine,
Let well-tuned words amaze
With harmony divine…
This time doth well dispense
With lovers’ long discourse;
Much speech hath some defense,
Though beauty no remorse.
All do not all things well:
Some measures comely tread,
Some knotted riddles tell,
Some poems smoothly read.
The summer hath his joys,
And winter his delights;
Though love and all his pleasures are but toys
They shorten tedious nights.
Happy Anniversary, Bethany and Kevin!
If you’re planning your wedding and are looking for engagement portraits and wedding photographers, please contact us. We’d love to hear your story and capture your big day.
While December weddings are not as common as, say, June weddings, they do happen and they are so much fun. There’s that extra element of celebration in the air that bleeds over from the holidays and wraps the whole event in more joy, more hope, more love. This month we are photographing several weddings and look forward to capturing that same feeling for the brides, grooms and their families and friends. In doing so, we also want to take a moment to say Happy Anniversary to the couples whose weddings we had the pleasure of shooting in years past. We love you all!
“God gave us memory so that we might have roses in December.” – James M. Barrie
“A happy marriage is about 3 things: memories of togetherness, forgiveness of mistakes and a promise never to give up on each other.” -Surabhi Surendra
“The first to apologize is the bravest. The first to forgive is the strongest. The first to forget is the happiest.” – unknown
We love family portraits whether they are set in the studio, the great outdoors, a specific location like the mountains or high country, or on our property in our outdoor portrait garden. Pixels on Paper photographs, engagements and weddings, brides, and special events and portraits of all kinds in our Wilkesboro, NC studio. We would be honored to meet with you, learn about you and your family and be a part of taking special portraits that will become, we hope, family heirlooms.
