The Fields of Blackberry Cove

A note from the bride. “There’s a concept among the spiritually inclined known as “thin space.” Often used in reference to churches and holy grounds. It refers to places where the distance between God and his creation feels so thin that one can simply reach out and touch the divine. It is in these places that my faith is restored, my heart filled, and my love pours out. Under the grand oak tree at The Fields of Blackberry Cove, surrounded by family with soft rays of sunlight pouring through the branches illuminating flecks of dust in the air I walked toward my love and my partner and felt the joyous love of God with us in the most profound thin space of my life.

As I look through the pictures from Terri, my heart travels back to that moment. And there are so many other memories from the weekend filled with surprises, laughter, dearest friends, and family. My memories spring to life as I sift through the photos. I’m suddenly laughing with my best friend in the meadow where we took pictures. I’m playing with the flower girl and junior bridesmaid in the bridal suite, and crying with surprise during a flash mob toast orchestrated by the most musically inclined wing of my family. I will forever be grateful to Terri for capturing these moments and helping me to feel the power of that thin space in the North Carolina mountains again and again.”
