Some sessions remind me of music. The way two people hold one another, the way they look at each other. Sometimes the only words I can find are the ones in a song. This was the soundtrack for Sandra & Darren's sunrise session playing in my head while I was photographing them:
Run to me and I'll leave the light on
Life may not always go your way And every once in awhile You might have a bad day
But, I promise you now You won't ever be lonely
The sky turns dark And everything goes wrong Run to me and I'll leave the light on
And I promise you now You won't ever be lonely
You're safe from the world, wrapped in my arms
For as long as I live There will always be A place you belong
Here beside me, heart and soul Baby, you only
And I promise you now You won't ever be lonely It's still gonna snow And it's still gonna rain The wind's gonna blow On a cold winter day And I promise you now You won't ever be lonely You're safe from the world Wrapped in my arms And I'll never let you go Baby, here's where it starts And I promise you now You won't ever be lonely
Here beside me, heart and soul
Here's a shoulder you can cry on And a love you can rely on For as long as I live There will always be A place you belong Here beside me, heart and soul Baby, you only And I promise you now You won't ever be lonely No no no no no No You won't ever be lonely
So Sandra and Darren, if you're reading this, thank you for inviting me to capture your love story. I know these words are so true for you both, and I hope I can photograph you both again in 30 years from now, just as much in love then as you are today.
Cheers,
