This is such a great series. Someone really ought to publish this as a book.

i had seen this awhile back - she's a great photographer. the pix of the fiance are great - anyone would marry him!
but the grandmom, oh gosh they made me so sad. she's well put together and taking care of things, and going out, but it looks like she's alone which breaks my heart. they say even a tree shouldn't be alone...
emotional sets - both.

Incidentally, how does it speak to "the weight of marriage?"
I do like the gramma pictures, tho.

her photos of him are very sweet and funny. the shot of him sitting with the water spout between his legs cracked me up.
i think it is says something about them keeping a sense of light-heartedness in their relationship. they can laugh at themselves.
her irish grandmother is adorable - makes me think i need to have more photos of my grandmother around my apt. god i miss her

loved both the fiancé and the grandmother photos. makes me wish I'd documented my husband's life with me better.

These four shots probably aren't the best grouping. They seem to say he lies around all the time.
The full collection is more telling. He's quite the sport for letting her take some of those shots.

How can you marry a man who sleeps with his eyes closed?

The one of him on the orange couch outside rocks. The contrast between the colors and the outside/inside is really visually appealing.
