Sometimes I worry that I’ll never witness another wedding that tops the wedding I just shot. Tina and Marcus quickly put those concerns to rest. They are rainbow makers.
That’s just what they do.
Warm and sincere, beautiful and cool, friendly, fun and inviting, they paint a rainbow over every person they meet. You see I had not met Tina and Marcus prior to their rehearsal but you would not have known it by how I was welcomed. They both are very genuine people and you get a real sense that they never meet a stranger. Their love for each other was equally apparent. Incredible, beautiful and favored is how Marcus described Tina at the end of rehearsal. He gathered everyone around and thanked us all for being there…for being a part of their special day. He spoke of the obstacles they had to overcome and how God had blessed them tremendously. As his words became labored and emotion began to take over, there was Tina with her arms around him. Holding him together. One heartbeat at a time.
At their wedding at the beautiful Gaylord Opyrland in Nashville, Marcus sang a beautiful song titled Rainbow Maker as Tina waited at the entrance and you could feel the love and emotion. It was coming from a secret place that, until then, was only known to Tina and Marcus. On this day, he let everyone know. He loved her!
As the day ended and the guests were leaving, Tina thanked me for being a part of their wedding. I thought to myself, “It’s not often I’m blessed to be in the presence of two people endowed with such beautiful spirits- to be surrounded and enveloped in their array of love, happiness, devotion and unity.”
Thank YOU Tina and Marcus for having ME.
You are rainbow makers. That’s just what you do. So I hope and pray these images paint a rainbow of beautiful memories…for you.
