July Brides

We’re in the dog days of summer….July. We are smack dab in the middle of the hottest months of the year, but thought I would give a little shout out to a few of my past July brides. I’ve photographed Yellowstone weddings in July, Bozeman weddings in July, and Virginia weddings in July, and without fail…they are beautiful. Hot, sultry, and downright amazing.

Summer Sun

from A Child’s Garden of Verses by Robert Louis Stevenson (1885)

Great is the sun, and wide he goes
Through empty heaven with repose;
And in the blue and glowing days
More thick than rain he showers his rays.

Though closer still the blinds we pull
To keep the shady parlour cool,
Yet he will find a chink or two
To slip his golden fingers through.

The dusty attic spider-clad
He, through the keyhole, maketh glad;
And through the broken edge of tiles
Into the laddered hay-loft smiles.

Meantime his golden face around
He bares to all the garden ground,
And sheds a warm and glittering look
Among the ivy’s inmost nook.

Above the hills, along the blue,
Round the bright air with footing true,
To please the child, to paint the rose,
The gardener of the World, he goes.
