Ben & Daphne - 3 December 2013






Last 3 December 2012, I witnessed one a friend gracefully embracing a new chapter of her life

That is Marriage... becoming a wife... and perhaps anytime soon being a mother.

I promised to be at her wedding no matter what ... but I was given a front seat because I was asked to help take photos using iphone. Yes nothing more but I phone.  It was the bride's special request.

And of course I did ... so lovingly.

Here are some snippets of Ben and Daphne's lovely union.

In my mind then, I just wanted to capture the big day as it happens with people their love and for my friend- Daphne, I wanted to capture not just the order of wedding ceremony but the space where Daphne was groomed so beautifully.

Enjoy

The gate keepers

he had to try opening the padlock 3times (if i remember it correctly)

the ladies up to test Ben's pledge of love :))

and of course He did pass the test
and impressed everyone with a song

Happy couple

Off to togetherness ...

Off they go to togetherness

To Daphne my friend, you have been a lovely princess of a king!  And I wish you and Ben the joyful days in Marriage as the Lord continues to develop your love story.

Joy is intentional...

Joy is intentional

How come? 

You see when someone causes something pleasant, Joy intends to capture hearts.

When someone meets a need, Joy naturally fills in a void and it bursts gratitude.

When someone takes time to listen, Joy connects two different bridges. 

We can continue to count many ways were Joy is intentional.

But what does it intentionally bring? 

Look around ...

Walk On...


There are a lot of things hovering around my head today. Inside, I could hear my heart pounds fast and a still voice saying "you'll be fine" ... "Walk on..."

This photo that I took during my trip to Mongolia June last year captures that voice within.

So I wonder, how is it that in the midst of a storm I am still around? Not consumed ...

 ... dig deep

Do you really follow me?

I m in this journey again...

Everything looks painfully familiar.

My heart explodes with sharp words of truth landing unto self-denial.

But a still voice speaks from within... Soft but unwavering... soft but certain.

But why do i see myself moving away from where my feet stand?

Please speak to me oh Lord.
