It took half the world to get them all into one room.
Persian and German, with families living in Tehran, Munich, Los Angeles and Innsbruck, Sara & Marco chose the tiny island of Ærø in Denmark for their wedding and asked everyone to come there.
Planes, trains and cars. Bridges. Then more bridges. Then a ferry.
And there they were. Sara, Marco, their closest family, and me. Strangers until that morning, sitting at the same table for lunch on one of the most significant days of their lives.
Before the wedding, Sara wrote to me about photography.
She told me she’s visually impaired, that bright light can be difficult for her, but that photography still meant a lot. She wrote about noticing “the special, fleeting intimate moments in the daily sea of abundance.”
I read that line and knew exactly why I wanted to be there.
I spent that day with them and left with that rare feeling you get when you’re allowed to fully see people who’ve only just met you.
Later, when their prints arrived, they wrote that holding the photographs made the day feel real all over again. I read that and laughed and cried at the same time, which I think means I’m exactly where I’m supposed to be.
