Yesterday Austin and I went out to the Pine Winds Zen Center for Rachel and Richard’s afternoon winter wedding in Shamong, NJ. Rachel and Richard’s wedding was a very intimate event with 12 guests, and really focused on their love for one another. Their children also each had a special part in the ceremony. This intimate ceremony focused on compassion, loving-kindness and respect for all. The Pine Winds website states “Zen – is a way of living your life, in a particular way, with a particular concentration of mind, a tranquil and simplicity of mind, that generates the experience of enlightenment and, through that experience, true and sustainable happiness.” Rachel and Richard’s wedding was a great way to close out our 2009 weddings with such a great couple.
These were some of the details from the outside of the Zen Center
I love this one of Rachel’s son Ian, because its just so cute… I had to shoot from the hip (literally) to make sure he didnt notice me taking this one..
Issy and Austin,

Love,
Mr and Mrs. Richard and Rachel Lawrence
