A couple of months ago, I photographed a wonderfully fun wedding for Haley + Andrew. Andrew is a filmmaker from NYC. I am always honored when another creative professional asks me to photograph such an important day in his or her life; it’s quite a compliment. They held their wedding at the beautiful Hamilton Hall in Salem, MA. As always, the manager at Hamilton Hall, Tricia, orchestrated everything perfectly. And the food was soooo good, thanks to Don and his team at Harvest Catering.
Oh yeah, the poem. One of the family members, Chris Henry, read this poem during the night. The guests in the room were nodding their heads and quietly saying, “Yes” under their breath. It was one of those moments that I will never forget. The poem is so simple and true. I felt it needed to be shared, with Chris’ permission, with as many people as possible. Upon asking Chris if I could post the poem on my blog, she informed me that it was her mother, Janet Henry, who had wrote it. Unfortunately, Chris’ mother lost her battle with breast cancer. She requested that anyone who should choose to use the poem in any way, please make a donation to the National Breast Cancer Foundation. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.
