I live to tell stories like this one. Destination Wedding Photography has taken me to some random places... I never thought I'd visit Columbus Ohio, but man, I am so glad I made there to witness this amazing day at an awesome industrial wedding venue! But locations and themes aside, this wedding gave me a new level of appreciation for what this life and this job is all about.

Jordan and Dylan were best friends in the second grade... They were thick as thieves, merrily wondering the school grounds together and stealing skittles from the teacher's drawer. Even at that young age, they supported each other through some heavy circumstances. Towards the end of this blog post you'll see a letter that Dylan wrote to Jordan after her Dad sadly passed away in 1995. This brought tears to my eyes when I saw it framed at their wedding reception next to a tribute to her Dad. The fact that a gesture so pure and thoughtful came from a child is touching enough, but add twenty years to this plus a long period of separation when their families moved interstate, and the fact that this pair found their way back to one another is nothing short of miraculous. 

On top of all this, Jordan and Dylan are two of the most amazingly genuine people I've ever met. I can't thank them enough for bringing me to Mid-West and allowing me to share their amazing story. I like to think that I come away from each wedding, a slightly better photographer... but honestly, I think that after this wedding, I am a better person.
