Rachel and Justyn

Weddings on reeeealy windy days on the beach are a bad thing, right? Well, I will say that finding sand in, like, every crevice of my camera and my, well uh, me, after the wedding day was not super duper awesome fun. But I can say that having Clearwater Beach totally clear and bereft of any and all souls except Rachel, Justyn and myself and Lex was pretty awesome!

Plus, the wind blew these amaaaazing clouds in making for a dramatic sky like none I’ve seen in awhile. Clouds that would languidly adorn the background of Michelangelo’s touch of creation on the Sistine Chapel’s ceiling. Clouds that would haunt the skies over Tolstoy’s burning Moscow or Batman’s brooding Gotham. Clouds that..... ok, I’ll stop.

I really liked the clouds.

A great backdrop at a great location like the Hilton is wasted without a great couple though. Rachel and Justyn are that great couple. Totally natural, totally at ease with themselves and their quests, they totally understood my there-are-no-rules-just-have-fun-and-be-in-love way of working with my couples.

They didn’t worry about the wind. They didn’t worry about what ‘you’re s’posed to do’. All they cared about was each other, and living that beautiful day of their wedding.
Perfect.
