To Rachel and Ryan —
A garden wedding will not be rushed.
The light moves. The bees move. The bouquet wilts a little around the edges. The dress catches on a thorn that, ten minutes earlier, was not there. The schedule was always going to be a suggestion — and you knew that going in.
I love that you let the garden win. I love that you didn't try to staple the day down. There is a particular kind of softness in pictures made by couples who weren't watching the clock, and these are some of mine.
You looked like yourselves all day. That's harder than it sounds.
