Michael Bruce is a ridiculously talented florist and has been a dear friend of mine for 5 years now. Bob has always welcomed me warmly to their home and has become a good friend as well. They had been together for 29 years and decided to plan a wedding within a couple of weeks. To say that I was honored to photograph their day would be an understatement. It was a gorgeous backyard wedding and everyone was so thrilled to celebrate them. Grateful to have witnessed this day and to know that a love like theirs exists. —from the photographer, Sage & Swan
