Have you ever seen the movie UP? That question was posed to me a few days before Mary and Frank promised to be each others love forever. Mary wrote me a beautiful e-mail in response to my question of what feeling she wished me to capture on her wedding day. This is some of what she wrote me . . .
"I saw "UP" tonight and as silly as it may sound, it totally made me realize how awesome life really is and why I want to be alive. On Saturday, I want you to capture love. I want you to try and capture a pure love. My flower girls are my babies I love them all and I want lots of shots with them and I want you to capture the innocence of them as well and the connection and bond that Frank and I have for each other. I asked God for someone who has what I need and who needs what I have and Frank has been all of that and more. I am convinced that God has brought us together for so many reasons and I want you to capture friendship and silliness and intensity. Frank is my best friend and my true love."
Mary epitomizes the character Ellie in UP. They both possess the amazing energy and passion for life and all things in it. To give you an idea of the excitement of Frank and Mary's world, after their ceremony she walked up to me with the biggest smile and asked if I minded we stop by a store called Love My Shoes (on our way to the reception at Fort Totten) so she could pick up a pair of flats because her feet were hurting in her high heels. I heartily laughed and said as long as I was permitted to trail behind her with my camera in this adventure I will go anywhere with her! So check out a few of the images we captured along the way, a fly on Mary and Franks wall!
Yes, Mary is just a wee bit taller than her flower girls! She's a cutie petutie!
Here is our Love My Shoes Excursion! The customers in the store did not think this was for real!
Everyone in Frank and Mary's wedding were willing participants for a good time! That is her father in the left image on the far right...he was so awesome!
