Til Death Do Us Part

There are so many things to think about when love is not new anymore and you're embarking on a life of togetherness. I took this photo while working on an "engagement photo shoot" and it is my favorite because they were talking. Perhaps I was coaching them, to an extent, asking them about their future together and knowing more than I should know about the challenges they will face. There's just something about romanticism, the painful reality that shatters it, and the gentle fantasy that puts it back together again.
