Trash The Dress

We've been featured in the local paper this week. We want a new name for these 'Trash The Dress' shoots - any ideas?

I'm currently editing a wedding and have just seen a photo I took of some lovely wedding words which seem to sum up perfectly what marriage is for me - particularly on this anniversary of September 11th when so many people lost their loved ones.

Marriage is....
A commitment.It's success doesn't depend on feelings, circumstances or moods, but on two people who are loyal to each other and the vows they took on their wedding day.

It is patience and forgiveness. It is being open and honest, thoughtful and kind.
Marriage means talking things out, making necessary changes and forgiving each other.

It is unconditional love when your partner is vulnerable - a love that supports, comforts and is determined to triumph over every challenge and adversity.

It is a partnership between two people who bring out the best in each other -

and know that although they are wonderful as individuals they are better together.

Rest In Peace, Michael.
