Hello, romantics. This one's for you.

IF YOU'VE BEEN FEELING SURLY LATELY...

HERE ARE SOME PHOTOS... 

FROM A WEDDING I PHOTOGRAPHED LAST MONTH...

ON CASEY KEY BEACH.

THESE FOUR ARE SISTERS.  

SUSANNE (2ND FROM RIGHT) GOT MARRIED AT PAULINE'S (FAR RIGHT) BEACH ESTATE...

NEXT DOOR TO HORROR NOVELIST STEPHEN KING'S HOUSE.

THERE WERE ONLY 25 PEOPLE THERE.

IT WAS SIMPLE & BEAUTIFUL & QUITE LITERALLY...

TOOK MY BREATH AWAY.

EVERYONE WAS SO CHARMING & PHOTOGENIC... 

I FELT LIKE I WAS IN A SCENE TORN FROM THE GREAT GATSBY.

I HAVEN'T PHOTOGRAPHED MANY WEDDINGS...

BUT IF I DO, I'M CERTAIN THIS ONE WILL BE MY FAVORITE.

EVERYONE WORE PAISLEY PRINTS AND BRIGHT COLORS.
IT WAS ALMOST A SHAME TO EDIT THEM INTO BLACK & WHITE.

THEY CALL THEIR HOUSE "THE TREE HOUSE..."

BECAUSE IT'S LITERALLY BUILT UP INTO THE TREES...

LIKE TOWN & COUNTRY'S VERSION OF THE SWISS FAMILY ROBINSON... 

TREE HOUSE.

I BARELY POSED ANYONE.

EVERYTHING FELT SO NATURAL...

TO ME. 

SUSANNE & PAUL ARE FROM MUNICH, GERMANY.

SO I ASKED SUSANNE'S FATHER (BELOW & ON THE LEFT) IF HE HAD HEARD OF THE TINY TOWN...

WHERE MY OMA IS FROM.

AND HE KEPT SAYING, "VHERE IS DEES PLACE?"AND I KEPT SAYING, "BAD SOODEN-ALLENDORF...IT'S A SPA TOWN SMACK DAB IN THE MIDDLE OF GERMANY."

A ROMANTIC POET NAMED WILHELM MULLER ONCE LIVED THERE.

IT'S A PLACE RIPE WITH MINERAL SPRINGS AND SHOEMAKERS' KIN... LIKE MY OMA'S SIBLINGS & THEIR CHILDREN & THEIR CHILDREN'S CHILDREN.

BUT SINCE I DON'T SPEAK GERMAN...I DIDN'T EXPLAIN THIS TO SUSANNE'S FATHER...WHO WAS WEARING THE MOST AMAZING SUIT COAT I'VE EVER SEEN.

INSTEAD I THOUGHT...

AS THE SUN SET ON THIS AFFAIR...I HOPE MY WEDDING IS AS AWESOME AS THIS ONE...

OR MORE SO.
