The deacon of our church asked me to photograph he and his wife one day after mass for their 40th Anniversary. I love what I captured. In the foyer of the church there is the most beautiful light that spills through the windows during that time of day. I wanted to share a few of the images with you since they express such beautiful, raw emotion.

For those of you who don't know, our priest passed away on June 3rd. As I was setting up to photograph our Deacon and his wife, Father Jim came out of the Sanctuary and we shared a few words and some laughter....I can still see him there talking to me, smiling even though he wasn't feeling well. That would be the last time I would see or speak to him here on this earth. I am going to miss his articulate wisdom and his wonderful stories...I feel so blessed to have known him and have to believe that I am a better human being because of his words of comfort and spiritual guidance.
