Im an emotionally sticky person. Part of it is being an extreme extrovert - I am very susceptible to other peoples energy and emotions. Part of it is just who I am, how I internalize and process the world. In the past couple of years I have really explored this part of who I am and have come to find that while it can be a bad thing, it can also really be a good thing... ...After I rushed back down to the courthouse (I left when they said we wouldnt hear anything until Monday - most everyone left), I had the honor of ( Story Photographers ) shooting many weddings tonight, up until they closed the courtroom at 9pm. I photographed these couples, I smiled with them, I cried tears of joy with them, they hugged me. I even had the honor of being a formal witness for some of their weddings. I congratulated them and shared in their shock - was this really happening?? I got out of the courthouse and walked to my car in the rain... and I could not stop sobbing. I sobbed all the way home. It was a happy sob, it was an overwhelmed sobbed (maybe it was a teeny bit of a hungry sob since I hadnt eaten dinner).... but overall it was a humble sob. I witnessed history today. I watched couples that were so broken before that 5:28pm surprise come back to the courthouse this evening with a renewed joy. I documented so much love tonight, love that other people try to hide or dont want to see. I witnessed it. I am so grateful for this experience. I cant wait to share images with you all soon. Shout out to the amazing team at Equality NC who worked so hard and tirelessly today (I only got to hang with Melissa Breakey Cartwright, Laura Meadows, Jen Jones and Shawn Long... I trust that the rest of the gang is amazing as well). It was an honor to work alongside of you today. #dayoneNC
