“I just want it to come out right”, he said.
“I love her so much and it can’t sound cliche”, he continued.
Bernie was worried his love for Jane wouldn’t come across in the speech he was writing. Nervously he went over it again. He furiously ironed his shirt, wrote some more and walked around the house telling his brother to put a shirt on. As soon as Jane entered the church and walked down the aisle I knew he had nothing to worry about; his love for Jane was so obvious, no one could miss it. In fact I don’t think I have ever seen a happier groom. No speech in the world would be able to ruin that. And of course his speech was fine. Great even. Every thing about it told the guests how happy he was and how much he loved Jane.
He didn’t have to say a thing.

Josie Richardson - Aah Jonas, once again you’ve come up with the proverbial goods. I’m forever waiting for the next wedding of yours to appear, to get my dose of creative majic. Thank you for breaking all the rules and bringing a fresh approach to this particular genre. You’ve given me permission to experiment. Thank you.

Saskia - That black and white portrait of the bride has to be one of my favorite portraits ever. It’s just mesmerizing.
