There was a moment at Traci and Justin’s wedding where my eyes watered and I hid behind my camera to ensure I wasn’t seen. It didn’t happen at the father/daughter dance or the vows or during the toast. No, it happened in the last hour of the night when everyone was happy and dancing and having a good time. You see… Traci and Justin’s wedding was gorgeous all the way around. The day…the colors…the clouds…the couple… it was all beautiful. But when I woke up that morning, I wasn’t sure if I’d even make it through the first few hours.
The morning of their wedding, I woke up and took myself to the doctor and was diagnosed with bronchitis, tonsillitis, and a sinus infection. I felt horrible like I’ve never felt before. I was given an injection with medication and prayed for strength and clarity as I braced myself for a 16 hour day. There was no way I was going to miss the wedding, but I did fear I couldn’t function the way I needed to. That’s when, at the end of the night, it hit me that I had made it. God had been faithful and allowed me the opportunity to witness and photograph such joy and happiness.
And in that moment, I may have still had a fever, but I seriously felt like a million bucks.
