There was a man in an elf suit, teenagers in masks, a little girl dressed up like Taylor Swift. A band playing outside of a nearby cafe, and tons and tons of costumed tourists walking up and down the street. A beautiful blonde in a blue dress wrapped her arms around her handsome fiance. Not a care in the world. All I did was position them in the middle of a beautiful beam of sunlight, and let their love take over. I stood back as far as possible, using my telephoto lens to capture them, so as not to interfere. It was Halloween night in St. Augustine, and none of the costumed children running from store to store for candy, or the college kids starting their evening pub crawls could take their eyes from one another. At one point, the music coming from the cafe got louder, and what did Joe do? He took the love of his life’s hand in his, and started slow dancing. Right there in the middle of the road. At that moment my heart stopped. I know everyday that I am lucky to do what I do. But in that moment, watching the world rush by them, they were lost in each other, and they were allowing me to capture it. Meaghan and Joe, I cannot wait to watch you say I do, and capture once again the love you two have for each other.
