  • swipe to see why this intimate wedding brought out ALL 👏🏻 OF 👏🏻 THE 👏🏻 FEELS. __ as soon as shon started saying his vows the entire wedding party lost it. we joked about it later, calling it the crying wedding, but MAN- it was wildly meaningful. __ THIS is why elopements + intimate weddings are the cream of the crop. if i had panned out to the audience you would’ve seen even MORE tears. because they truly know sarah + shon- this was not just an event to go to, but it was an deep & meaningful step forward that their community was a part of. these were people who had prayed for them, had them over to their houses for dinner, and listened to their stories through the years. __ so yes, I WILL be emotional behind the camera (IT’S FINE GUYS) and I will forever be here for meaningful + tear filled elopements and intimate weddings- there’s just something deep and significant to them. ✨

  • Wait by Russell Kelfer helplessly, longingly, I cried. quietly, patiently, He replied. I plead, and I wept for a clue to my fate, and Jesus said “wait.” wait? you say wait? my indignant reply. lord, I need answers, I need to know why. is your hand shortened? or have you not heard? by faith I have asked, and I’m claiming your word. my future, and all to which I relate hangs in the balance, and you tell me ‘wait’? i’m needing a ‘yes,’ or a go-ahead sign, or even a ‘no,’ to which I can resign. lord, you have promised that if we believe, we need but to ask, and we shall receive. lord I’ve been asking, and this is my cry: i’m weary of asking: i need a reply! then quietly, softly, I learned of my fate as He replied once again, “wait.” so I slumped in my chair, defeated and taut, and grumbled to God; “so I’m waiting, for what?” He seemed then to kneel and His eyes met with mine and He gently said, “I could give you a sign. I could shake the heavens, darken the sun, raise the dead, cause the mountains to run. all you see I could give, and pleased you would be. you would have what you want, but you wouldn’t know Me. you’d not know the depth of my love for each saint; you’d not know the power that I give to the faint. you’d not learn to see through clouds of despair; you’d not learn to trust, just by knowing I’m there. you’d not know the joy of resting in me, when darkness and silence were all you could see. you’d never experience that fullness of love as the peace of my spirit descends like a dove. you would know that I give, and I save, for a start, but you’d not know the depth and the beat of my heart. the glow of my comfort late in the night, the faith that I give when you walk without sight; the depth that’s beyond getting just what you ask from an infinite God who makes what you have last. you never would know, should your pain quickly flee, what it means that My grace is sufficient for thee. yes, your dreams overnight could come true, but the loss if you lost what I’m doing in you. so be silent, my child, and in time you will see that the greatest of gifts is to truly know me. though often my answers seem late, the best of all is simply- wait.
