There are moments in each of our lives where everything changes. We don’t always recognize them when they happen, but they alter our paths just the same. For Liz, that moment happened in grad school when she was partnered with a woman named Marie. Marie knew a boy, and somewhere deep down, she knew that he and Liz would be great together. So she arranged a dinner. Nothing more, nothing less. A meal shared between two strangers destined to become so much more.

Fast forward to this past May in northern Minnesota, where Nick asked Liz to write herself into his destiny for the whole of forever. At a lighthouse overlooking Lake Superior, Liz happily obliged.

Fast forward to last weekend, as the wind whipped and chilled the November air and the trees shook angry fingers at the sky. The clouds roiled and raced across a hazy sky, and Liz + Nick played in the waning sunlight as I made photographs of who they are in this moment. Together.

On the precipice of their forever.
