Have I told you just how much I LOVE Grace Ormonde? Well, I LOVE anything and everything Grace Ormonde. Now you know I follow her blog, a fan on Facebook and follow her on Twitter. No, it’s NOT an obsession, just love! On her daily tweets, I received this amazing picture photographed by Punam Bean Photography, and I just fell in love with the photo.

In black and white this photo just highlights the sweet, enormous moments between fiancé and fiancé before they become husband and wife. I simply adore the crinkled wrapping paper which makes you imagine the bride opening her gift with an amazing glow on her face. I love how the groom put his thoughts on a ripped piece paper and even though the note is somewhat blurry, you can still see the part where he reminds her that he loves her. And this amazingly beautiful clutch just makes you think about the time and effort he put into this simple gesture. As Grace put it, this photograph exudes romance, nostalgia and alludes to a bygone era. And I simply could not agree more!

Yes, I would love to hear your thoughts on this photo. When was the last time you saw a picture that truly moved you?

Always inspired by Grace Ormonde,
