The Teichert Wedding
My cousin, Michelle, married Greg a week and a half ago in the Washington, D.C. Temple. It was a lovely day. Congratulations to a beautiful couple and best wishes for an eternity of joy!
Wow- picture perfect weather at the Temple! I love the ones of the happy couple and the whole clan is wonderful too. I hope you are happy with them- even tho it is not your favorite occupation.
Mom- Yes, I am pleased with them. It was really fun to process them, although the day of shooting is always nerve-wracking. It all served to highlight the limitations of my equipment and software, not to mention my creativity being a little rusty. Yet another reminder that this is not my current profession. But I enjoyed being there and was very happy to do it for Michelle. They really are a beautiful couple and they were so happy!
You captured Greg & Michelle's happiness so well! A wonderful remembrance of that beautiful moment. I also liked your county fair photos. You are a great photographer. I keep learning just by examining your photos.
Your poem reminded me of a favorite from Edna St. Vincent Milley:
My heart being hungry feeds on food The fat of heart despise. Beauty where beauty never stood, And sweet where no sweet lies. I gather to my querulous need, Having a growing heart to feed.
It may be when my heart is dull Having attained its girth, I shall not find so beautiful The meager shapes of earth, Nor linger in the rain to mark The smell of tansy through the dark.
I had learned it many years ago, but the words came to mind in Africa and I was grateful I still find the meager shapes of earth so beautiful.

It looks like it was so lovely. Sorry we had to miss it! You did a great job on the photos.
