This is a special posting for some very special friends. Yannick and Susan Rousseau were married in France about a year and a half ago. I was the lucky photographer who accompanied them on this amazing and beautiful journey, featured here. The wedding was magnificent, and who could forget the Texas meets Gascony BBQ the night before? Have a peek if you like here. It was with great pleasure that we got together this past September to take photographs once again. This session was loaded with emotion, love and a lot of playfulness. Yep, even some tears. But they were happy tears.
Much has happened since we took these photos. I’m very sad to say that this beautiful home of theirs where we took these images burned to the ground on March 10th, taking everything they owned, including their beloved Australian Sheperd, Keva. To say they are heartbroken, is an understatement. However, Yannick, Susan and their son, Theo, are incredibly resilient and remarkable people. They have an amazing community surrounding them with love and lots of helping hands. In fact, there is a site you may have heard of called LOTS of Helping Hands. It too is remarkable as a resource. If you would like to be included in the ongoing efforts to help these beautiful people rebuild their lives, please contact me here and I’ll see that you get hooked up with the latest news and what’s needed. You can also be added to the BranumRousseau facebook group and get updates, or donate directly here.
For now, take a few minutes and enjoy two beautiful songs along with two beautiful people. La vie en rose, their first dance at the wedding, on a very hot and humid night in the south-west of France, under a brilliant, starry sky. Yann and Suse, I love you all. Click on the image when you’re ready to be swept away.
