“No more shall men call you ‘Forsaken,
or your land ‘Desolate,’
but you shall be called ‘My delight,’
and your land ‘Espoused.’
For the Lord delights in you,
and makes your land his spouse.
As a young man marries a virgin,
your Builder shall marry you;
and as a bridegroom rejoices in his bride
so shall you God rejoice in you.”
(Isaiah 62:3–5)
Most people assume that groom derives from bridegroom, but the relationship is much more complicated. Bridegroom comes from the Old English brydguma, a compound of “bride” and guma, meaning “man.” By 16c, since guma was no longer in use, the word was influenced by groom, originally meaning “a young man.” Due to this, the word groom took on the exclusive connotation of a husband-to-be in 17c.
Something slightly different than usual.
Wedding of Mitchell & Millie, my brother and now sister in law. June 2016
Wedding - “The Official Day” at the registry office and portraits taken around Old Portsmouth. I’ve only photographed a few weddings for friends and family but I approach them in the same manner as the rest of my work, documentation.

I’ve watched this documentary a couple times now and each time the movie has ended I emerge from my seat with my eyes almost swollen shut from crying so much. Watch it and get everyone you know to watch it. The message is very important. You can see it on netflix and amazon instant.
