As we stepped off the plane and walked onto the tarmac at ACK, I said to Patrick, “Pinch me.” I couldn’t believe we were actually in Nantucket. Just two weeks before I’d received an email from Jaime asking whether I’d consider traveling to the island to photograph their elopement. A quick peek at my calendar and I answered with a definite and enthusiastic, “YES!” If being asked to travel to a gorgeous location wasn’t enough, they welcomed Patrick joining me to both second shoot the wedding and so that we could enjoy a few days together in what they described as “a magical place you should enjoy with someone you love.” Seriously, that’s what they said. Cue all the heart eyes for this romantic couple.

It wasn’t what she had envisioned for her wedding. The dress, the venue, the ceremony…

When he’d proposed, they couldn’t have known what was coming next. They’d hardly had time to celebrate when his father’s diagnosis left them with little time and few options. Over the coming weeks, they planned and unplanned numerous weddings, each in response to his father’s declining health and the time they understood to have left.
