Weddings. This is what my summer consists of every weekend. I love every single second of taking pictures during these special days. It’s stressful, but rewarding on many levels.
A couple weddings ago I was pinning on the boutineer for the groom and he said something that made me stop and think. It was one of those simple truths that we know but it doesn’t seem that many people stop and acknowledge. He said “I can’t believe that God uses this picture of marriage to show his incomprehensible love to people. He uses broken people and broken relationships to show His love.”
I think the truth in this is so deep. God knows the brokenness of this world yet He understands the love between a bride and a groom on their wedding day and uses it as a picture of His own love for us. I thought it was so interesting that a groom would point this out just hours before he gets married. One of the many reasons I love helping with wedding photography is because I get to see Christ’s love so clearly on these days. On more than one occasion tears have come to my eyes as I can see God’s hand clearly in the relationship. It’s so beautiful to see this small glimpse of Christ’s love for us.
I love to try to stop and think about God’s love because it just never makes sense to me, and that is so beautiful.
