Capture the Moment

By Jo - our lovely wedding photographer

This is a photo that was "captured in the moment". Our wedding day had been perfect so far until we got to Dawes Point Park in the Rocks, Sydney - it was windy. Really, really windy.

Now, if you've ever tried to wear a tulle, princess dress, you would know, every step is a challenge! Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed the challenge because it was my dream dress and I was determined to wear it on my dream wedding day.

So there we were, blowing in the wind and I was at breaking point as I tried to climb the hill underneath the Harbour Bridge in my impossible walking dress in high-speed winds.

Yes, it wasn't my favourite moment of the day, but it was my favourite "captured moment" of the day.

When I first saw that picture, I was speechless and everyone who has seen my wedding album always stops and pauses for a while when they look at this image.

When was the last time you paused, just for moment? When was the last time you let life just walk right past you because you were too busy to stop, pause and reflect in the moment?

One of my favourite Scripture passages is this: "Be still and know that I am God", Psalm 46:10.

My desire is too not let my life pass by without pausing to find it. It's in these moments that we discover who we are called to be.
