I love this picture from a friend’s wedding in Charleston in 2014. It looks so effortless and obnoxiously lovey-dovey. In reality, though, I kept demanding that Ramón look at me like he was in love because I saw the photographer lurking. You can’t conclude that from the final product alone, but that’s how we got there.

Right now I’d give anything to know the final product that will result from the challenge we’re facing, but unfortunately I don’t. I do know Ramón needs your thoughts, prayers, and positivity. Although some photos can be staged (calculated, even), this one is developing at its own pace. As always, I appreciate you and will update as things come into focus.
