rosendo and camille's wedding

rosendo and camille had a beautiful wedding at the amazing firestone winery. and i could go on and on about how great the two of them are and how perfect they are for each other. but, i want to tell a brief story instead. rosendo and his mom had one of the most amazing mother/son dances you'll ever witness. rosendo's mom was in a wheel chair for the ceremony and for all the portraits, and as the day progressed to night camille had a beautiful dance with her father, and then rosendo's mom was wheeled onto the dance floor. i was trying to imagine how this moment was going to unfold - when to almost everyone's surprise, rosendo helped her to her feet. now, i'm as emotional as the next guy - but i'm definitely not a crier. but, this moment rocked me, and i kept shooting as the tears started to roll down my cheeks. her determination to dance with her son was only matched by her joy in the moment. i still get chills thinking of it.

altogether, it was a wonderful event - thanks to joy from joy de vivre weddings for making it flow so smoothly!
