Newly weds taking a moment surrounded by penguins

in #love7 years ago (edited)

This beautiful couple I met on the ship I was working on in Antarctica. They were from Panama and were just married a few weeks prior to the expedition. We were exploring an Island called Petermann Island, which is on the Antarctic Peninsula.

At the time I was focused on getting some video footage of the cuteness that is penguins, when I looked back and saw these two having a quiet moment lying on the snow & ice simply enjoying one another on a beautiful day in a beautiful place on earth.

I gave them this photo a few days later before they left the ship and they were both in tears when they saw it. They were crying for joy because at that time I took the photo they were discussing their future & both decided it was time to start their family. I unknowingly captured this amazing moment that this couple had decided to embark on the next step with their life together. It brought me to tears.

Incredible photo

@thomasjmitchell What a way to be at the right place and at the right time. You made their time worth it. You were the angel waiting for them to give them that glorious moment.

I don't know about that.. just a guy with a camera who saw a moment

Wow. Example of what being an artist is . Incredible photo

awesome, i always love your pictures. what a cool story, happy they were able to get the picture and you heard their story :) thanks for sharing

What a beautiful story behind this photo

It still makes me smile and tear up a bit when I look at it.

The story behind your shots carries me along in the reality of the pictures. A great moment for the couples.

Many still fail to see the power of photography.

I want your voice on this, please be a voice for the helpless.

Thanks...

that is so beautiful

Nice story and nice photo.

Such an awesome picture!

This is an amazing shot and even more amazing story! Thanks for sharing!

So lovely! I'm touched by the story!

It's all about capturing the moment! I wonder if they framed the photo and placed it in their living room.

"So...should we?"
"I don't know, it's a big change...are we ready?"
"Will we ever be? Is anyone?"
"I want one."
"Me too."
"So...should we?"
