Woman holds wedding as tribute to fiancé who died 1 month before they were meant to marry

"That day was the closest I'll ever get to a real wedding day. It was like Tristan was there watching over us. I didn't just lose Tristin last year - I lost the life we'll never live together, I lost all the children we'll never have and all the grandchildren we'll never get to spoil. I know Tristin is forever grateful for all of the people who have taken care of me while he hasn't been able to. This is something I've wanted to do for a while, it really meant a lot to me."

"I let mine go first and then everyone else let theirs go. It was a really good day but I still went home without a husband and woke up without one. He was my hand to hold through every path we travelled, my cheerleader and my comforter. My soul feels quiet now. I feel agony and yet quite peaceful at the same time. It's as if Tristin is here, holding my hand telling me everything will be okay. He's still my cheerleader, my comforter, and my hand to hold through the long nights, and the exciting adventures."

"There was one moment when we were all reminiscing about Tristin and the sun broke through the clouds and we all were pretty overcome with emotion. I caught a few photos of it and it felt as if he was there in the photo standing above her. His presence was very near and it was such a touching project to be a part of. The message I hoped to relay with this series is about how fragile life is. As a wedding photographer familiar with the industry it can be so easy for everyone to get wrapped up in planning the party but this photoshoot stopped me in my tracks and rekindled what it means to love wholeheartedly."
