that kind of moment


As I left the wedding that afternoon, I opted to wander to my car, rather than walk. It was quite a trek across the grounds of the ranch where the wedding feast had taken place but it was stunning and well worth the wander. Wide open spaces as far as the eye could see replaced what had been just an hour before; a hillside filled with family and friends honoring a marriage. This was a different kind of day at the ranch where the cows were usually the sole inhabitants.
Throughout the wedding day, I captured images of love and friendship and celebration. There were the signs of the festivities—food, drink, décor—and symbols of a union—the dress, the tux, the ring—all amidst the beauty that only Mother Nature could graciously provide. And she most certainly did on this unseasonably warm, sunny Northern Calfornia day.
As the sun sank behind the hills and the day was slowly turning to evening, guests made their way out, down the winding road back to the small town of cottages and inns. I spent a few last moments with the bride and groom, capturing the day's last light. A perfect way to wrap up the story of their wedding day.
With less than an hour left before the dusk turned to dark, I took my time to getting back. The light was soft and sweet. The breeze kicked up with the cooling air. The sounds of the sweeping landscape became a symphony of sublty. Birds chirping, heading home for the night. Cows from the pasture calling out for dinner. A chorus of Turkey's raised their voices as I shuffled down the dirt path. And with all that, I could still hear the tall grasses and pine trees carrying the evening wind.
It took me about 30 minutes to find my car. Not because I was lost but because I chose to make those last few moments of the day last. Even despite a few unexpected events throughout my travels that weekend, it was the perfect end to a delightful trip.
As I began to pack up my equipment, I took one last look at the vast, pictureesque countryside of Bolinas. The ranch dog had the same idea. It was that kind of moment.
I have a feeling you know what I mean and that you've experienced that kind of moment. And I'll bet you had your camera there to document it. Do share with us today a moment—big or small—you know you'll never forget.
