Rites of Passage

What is the ultimate purpose of a rite of passage? 

Well it prepares us for the unknown, as we leave behind our original roles and embark on something new.

In other words, everything changes but some things stay the same – the values we have, that our families passed on, stay with us. Like love. Faith. Growth. Hope. Strength. Light. Patience. Wonder. And belief. 

I hope you feel the sense of awe, beauty and anticipation we all felt on the day when we captured these beautiful images. So I’d like to dedicate this shoot to all the brides-to-be out there, and the exciting journeys that are waiting for them!
