Amy had contacted me to do their wedding, but I hadn’t heard from her in quite awhile to schedule a meeting. A little concerned, I emailed the mutual friend that had referred her. My jaw dropped as he responded that Amy and Trey had needed to discuss cancer. Breast cancer. Amy had found a suspicious lump and things moved rather rapidly after that. A lumpectomy over spring break and back to school shortly thereafter, Amy called me to schedule that long-awaited chat. Things were a “go”. We had a wedding to discuss!
After our meeting, I knew Amy & Trey would be a pure joy to photograph. Their engagement shoot didn’t dissappoint and that “C” word? It’s being zapped with some good ol’ radiation. Amy & Trey’s love for each other is beyond “in sickness and in health”–it is filled with the grace of God and the servant’s heart of Jesus. The joy in their eyes belies a trust in the Lord that bubbles over to the company they keep. I’m merely a privileged bystander to this envelopment of love.
Amy & Trey-I can’t wait for your wedding this month! Your heart for serving the other will reap so many benefits on the other side of the aisle. I pray for a complete healing, Amy, as you start your new lives together.
