Marriage Retreat-Longview WA Photographer

Posted on November 22, 2009

Yesterday Demetrye and I drove out to Long Beach WA to spend sometime with our church family. Every year our church hosts a family retreat–a time when couples get away for a few days to learn from each other and to rekindle their romance. This year we were honored to be invited to share our life experience with others.

After breakfast we spent time in worship and then Demetrye and I spoke on how we grow stronger in our love toward each other–all stops out of the way, honest and practical.

After that–SURPRISE!–I brought my camera with me and had a 3-5 minute session with couples that wanted their portrait taken–something that would remind them of the importance of romance and love in their live. Here are a few of my favorites.

We had so much fun! Then we headed back home and last night we had to get through one of he windiest storms I have been though. We woke up to electric boxes exploding outside and trees blocking our driveway. I am so thankful that I live in America, though, the local PUD was out fixing up electricity and by 11 am we had heat and hot water! And now I can get back to finishing a wedding that desperately needs my attention ;) .

Happy Sunday to all!
