Not even a hurricane could dampen a certain groom's wedding day excitement last night. You've met Grace, now meet Will:

People came from miles around to share in their celebration. We also wiped away tears as Grace's dad (who is also the newlyweds' pastor) led the ceremony and fought unsuccessfully to keep his emotions from getting the better of him.

I'm not a "real" wedding photographer, but I simply had to grab a few candid shots. After all, I am the granddaughter of Lydia Munson Stevens Shepherd, who was well-known for snapping hundreds of pictures at every family event and was an early inspiration for my own photographic efforts. I joked with my cousin Lloyd, father of the groom, that Grandmother would have been especially proud of these shots I caught of him -- he was, shall we say, mighty uncooperative in our childhood and saw nothing wrong with hiding under the front porch any time Grandmother whipped out her camera. These are for you, Lydia!

But back to the Main Event. No words can match the shy sweetness visible in both of these faces:
We're all praying for you, Will and Grace, and we'll be here whenever you need us. Have a great time in San Antonio!

Live in a way that is worthy of the people of God.
Always be humble and gentle.
Patiently put up with each other and love each other.
Try your best to let God's Spirit keep your hearts united.
Do this by living at peace.
Ephesians 4:1-3 CEV
