“…here is the deepest secret nobody knows
(here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud
and the sky of the sky of a tree called life; which grows
higher than soul can hope or mind can hide)
and this is the wonder that’s keeping the stars apart
i carry your heart (i carry it in my heart)”
– e. e.cummings
I do know that this blog of mine is in need of attention. And now that I am officially on maternity, and with a couple more weeks of quiet to go (and the baby room is all set up, and all the little clothes washed and folded), I can finally spend some time in front of my monitor.
This stunning and intimate wedding of Alisha and James happened a number of months ago, at Chapel Hill, one of the most picturesque McLaren Vale wineries. Despite the threatening clouds, the weather was amazingly cooperative, holding off the rain until right after the ceremony stopped, and later treating us with soft afternoon light while we took photos in the vines.
I will probably not find enough words to describe the emotions that were in the air. It was hard not to tear up many times throughout the day, looking at how beautifully two families were becoming one, how much love Alisha and James have for each other. So I will let the pictures tell the story:
Ceremony and Reception Venue: The Retreat at Chapel Hill Winery, McLaren Vale, South Australia
