Love, Joy, Peace, Patience...



When I am photographing a wedding one of the most loved passages of the Bible at wedding time is from 1 Corinthians 13:4-7 ("Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy..."). It reminds me of the passage where Paul talks about the fruits of the Spirit (Galatians 5:22-23). So I put together an image taken from an engagement session this past weekend with the fruits of the Spirit burned into the area around where their hands meet. To me, these 'fruits', or virtues, are great traits to demonstrate in one's own life, marriage, place of work, neighborhood and beyond. If only I could display more of these in my own life!
