LMP Giveaway: Lindsay Letters Gold Foil Vows Print

"...Wedding vows are not a declaration of present love but a
mutually binding promise of future love." Tim Keller, The Meaning of Marriage

To have & to hold.

For better or worse.

For richer or poorer.

In sickness & in health.

All the day of my life.

The words you share & repeat at the altar, those promises you make before God, your family & friends on your wedding day are such a beautiful picture of the covenant God designed marriage to be. The binding commitment between a husband & a wife that sets the foundation for their lifetime.

Joy. Sweetness. Overwhelming love. The emotions we feel in that moment are only part of what the holy matrimony between a couple represents. Tim Keller says it best:

"Rather, in a wedding you stand up before God, your family, & all the main institutions of society, & you promise to be loving, faithful, & true to the other person in the future, regardless of undulating internal feelings of external circumstances.”

I'm so excited to give away this gorgeous Lindsay Letters print! This beautiful gold foil writing, as a collaboration with the fabulous Southern Weddings Magazine, is a wonderful reminder of the vows we've made - or will soon make - to the one we love. The giveaway starts NOW & runs through next Thursday!

Charlie + Laura | Kennedy Center & Georgetown Waterfront Engagement Session

Kennedy Center Engagement Session

These two lovebirds. Their engagement has been months in the making. When we had a brunchtime portrait session last year, I remember thinking, "Oh yeah, m-a-r-r-i-a-g-e is coming their way!!" Charlie & Laura are two of the kindest friends with joy-filled, easy-going demeanors. Our church & community is so blessed to have them in our lives.

Laura is a dedicated small group leader to group of women at MBC while Charlie has faithfully served at Covenant House over the past couple years. And when they're together, their love for one another is so infectious & apparent. Shooting their engagement session was such a great evening of laughter, smiles & amore.

After walking around & taking photos at one of their favorite date night spots, The Kennedy Center, we made our way over to the Georgetown Waterfront for more beautiful photos. As tourists & locals alike milled around & walked down the sidewalk, Charlie & Laura only had eyes for one another. Their sweet looks & tender embraces were a joy to capture. This fall, they'll commit their lives to one another before family, friends & God on their wedding day at Bull Run Golf Club. And what an incredible day that will be!

"The Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still." {Exodus 14:14}

When you have those days, those weeks, when it seems like you don't have the strength to make it through, the Lord is there. When we are at our lowest point, He is our Help still & our Shield. He never leaves or forsakes us. And when we're walking through the valley, we have nothing to fear. He is there, every step of the way. And that, y'all, is something to be eternally grateful for!
