“Love is our true destiny. We do not find the meaning of life by ourselves alone-we find it with another” – Thomas Merton

Chris and Katie.  Destiny.  If you ask their parents and all their friends, they will tell you that these two were always supposed to be together.   And one beautiful fall day, they lived their destiny and married each other in front all those people who knew it was their destiny to do so…  I’ve always been a believer in destiny.  You can try avoid it or try to outrun it,  but Life eventually takes you exactly where it should.  And there’s comfort in knowing that on our journey through this life, with all the twists and turns and upheavals, that no matter what  you do, Life will make sure that you end up exactly where you meant to be.   Which makes me think of a time a few years back when I took a long drive up Highway 1 to Monterey and listened to a CD that I fell in love with by the band, Lost Ocean, as I pondered my own destiny.  Chris happens to be the drummer for this great band.  Little did I know or imagine that I’d be photographing their wedding and becoming a small part of their destiny…

I always feel honored to be a part of all that – destiny and watching two people end up exactly where God and Life wanted them – with each other.    …Here’s a few pictures from their day…
