Heather and David... A Love Song

I met Heather through my friends Megan & Jeff~ who were married on October 10th. Heather was the MOH in their wedding and I am sure through all of the planning process she has received a lot of great pointers on what to do for their very own special day. The day of their shoot was a perfect day to have been out enjoying gorgeous Carolina Blue skies with the first touches of autumn in the air.

We started off in down town Rock Hill, SC ~ It has been so beautifully restored and is just so much fun to shoot with amazing alleys and exciting stairways just ready to be discovered! After leaving RH we headed down to Lansford Canal State Park. To be honest I wasn't sure what to expect, but was so pleasantly surprised with its simplicity. We really had so much fun just talking and enjoying the crisp feeling of fall as we walked through the park taking in the day. Notice how these two love to cuddle and kiss... Two very nice things for marriage don't ya think? Love was definetely in the air!

On the way home I decided to stop at this little cemetary that was barely visible on the side of the road going to the park. Much to my surprise it wasn't little at all- it went way into the woods and some of the head stones dated so far back they were not legible. Some of the ones I could read dated back to the 1700's! I know it is crazy, but I love cemetaries... they really are peacful- this one was just so intriguing the way the trails wound through the forest and the graves were just all about the area with no particular rhyme or reason. I like wondering what their life was like then- Did they face the same issues we do today- obviously the answer is yes and no, but really I think we are all very much alike at the end of the day. Life is meant to love- to enjoy the simple beauties found in it. It might be a walk around the lake, a cup of coffee with your best friend or morning dew on a spider's web. What is your simple beauty? Enjoy (the moment- for they quickly flee!) ~S.
