It's Official!!

This is slowly, but surely becoming one of my favorite photos of all time. I hope the Robinson's don't mind me using it, but to me, it represents such a powerful piece of life, love and relationship.

The details:

To your immediate left is the minister who conducted the ceremony. Next, in the background is Justin Fairfax, the Best Man and witness to the union of Tynesia and Keith Robinson.

In the foreground and in the center of the picture is Tiki, Tynesia's sister and Maid of Honor. She is signing the piece of paper that bore witness to the marriage.

One over is Tynesia, the bride. Look at her as she looks up at her new husband with a glowing smile on her face. Also, take note that it looks like there is some sort of light source beaming directly onto her. Though she is not in the center of the photograph, the light source makes her the focal point of this picture.

To the far right is Keith Robinson, the groom. He is looking at his wife. It appears they are exchanging words that might be secretive. You would believe the words are secretive if it were not for the minister and witnesses present. However, perhaps lending credence to the notion of a secret is the fact that the minister and the witnesses all have their heads bowed appearing as if they're trying not to hear the conversation between Keith & Ty and/or not be apart of the picture all together.

Lastly, judging by the scene, you would never be able to tell that less than 24 hours prior to this moment was a very perfect, very destructive storm. To have such a perfect calm come out of that perfect storm is very poetic and gives further character to an already splendiferous occasion!!

In the midst of this happy and joyous moment, you get the feeling that the picture taker should not be present during this very private scene. If you've ever been a Best Man or a Maid of Honor, then a scene like this is familiar: The signing of the marriage certificate. Mark Simmons frames this scene perfectly.

In my Photo Album, I've labeled this picture appropriately:

"It's Official!!"
