Vows read from a folded page at the edge of a frozen alpine lake, with a small boy standing in as the whole guest list.

Rocky Mountain

A first kiss under the veil, backlit until the whole frame turns to warm light.

Space Gallery

Sitting into the last of the light on a granite outcrop, the foothills dropping away toward the plains.

A cap thrown straight at the lens, the Flatirons holding the background steady behind her.

Rain on a downtown street, two clear umbrellas, and a marquee spelling out the whole point of the day.

A full skirt let loose on an exposed ridge, with half the range visible behind her.

Three people on a rock at the water''s edge, entirely occupied with each other.

A kiss held in the shade of the palms, with the Caribbean flat and bright behind them.

Forehead to forehead on warm granite, a hundred miles of ridgeline going soft behind them.

A dip under a cottonwood in full autumn colour, the whole tree lit from behind.

A senior portrait made in the last workable light, everything behind her allowed to fall away.

A kiss caught straight into the sun, the red rock stacked up behind and everything glowing through.

Thirty seconds after she said yes, with the ring up and both of them talking at once.

Walking away down a dirt road through the aspens, bouquet still up, nobody in a hurry.

Two hands and a bump, in black and white, and nothing else in the frame.

Back up the aisle through the petals, both of them laughing at somebody off to the left.

Arms up on the sand at the end of the night, entirely done with being photographed properly.

Led by the hand across a cut field, mountains stacked up behind and the veil still going.
