There’s always those times when thinking about a couple when you realize how perfect they are for each other. It could be a simple statement, a look across a room that you catch, or they way they speak about their significant other when they aren’t around. I found myself pondering this point during Chelsea’s and Andrew’s lovely ceremony, trying to pick out the moment in the back of my camera that he looks at her just right, that fraction of a second where it all makes sense. Then I realized I was looking for something that didn’t exist, something actually impossible.
The real challenge at hand was to find a moment where you couldn’t tell that Andrew and Chelsea are absolutely nuts for each other. Every second I spent with them apart they were talking about the other. He was constantly gazing at her during the ceremony, shooting looks and smiles of love. Even during the reception, surrounded by loud music and friends wanting their piece of the dance floor with either the bride or the groom, you could still catch them looking across the room, hoping to catch a gaze of their new spouse. Chelsea and Andrew have truly taught me that life is far more the journey than the outcome. That as people and more importantly as people in love, life isn’t about the best moment, but the best life; made of those moments.
