Angela Marino Photography

I  had never before realized in my career as a wedding photographer, that my personal life and relationships in love played a major role in the imagery that I captured. To be honest, I have consistently doubted my ability to capture the true meaning of the union between two kindred spirits due to the recent demise of my own marriage constantly looming overhead.  I have prayed about it, conversed about it, cried about it and laughed about it.  All be it, there have been many more tears of uncertainty than laughter at the ridiculousness of the reality of it. However, my fears of not being able to capture what God truly intended to conspire between those chosen ones of heart and soul, I began to see a pattern of imagery previously foreign to me.

The private whisper, the longing gaze, the unspoken aching need…… So for the sorrow and continuous uncertainty living in my own heart, I seem to have been able to capture the true meaning of love. It’s seductiveness, passion, faith, honesty, trust,  and the beauty and singular sensation of being ONE. For that I am proud. Proud beyond measure. Not only proud because these two hearts beat within my own, but because they have continuously, over the last several months, been able to restore my faith. Not just my faith in love. My faith in life.  I truly believe that I will, one day,  have this… I might be old and wrinkled, but I will have it.  And I owe the vast majority of my belief in such things to these two beautiful people. Love, true love….. it will overcome any obstacle. Most importantly, He will guide you through the obstacle, if you allow Him to.  If you truly Believe, it will happen, just as it did for these two.

Congratulations to Lindsey and Mark. A long time coming, yes…. but worth the wait, without a doubt. I love you both from the bottom of my soul. Now and forever.
