Newly weds taking a moment surrounded by penguins

in #love7 years ago (edited)

This beautiful couple I met on the ship I was working on in Antarctica. They were from Panama and were just married a few weeks prior to the expedition. We were exploring an Island called Petermann Island, which is on the Antarctic Peninsula.

At the time I was focused on getting some video footage of the cuteness that is penguins, when I looked back and saw these two having a quiet moment lying on the snow & ice simply enjoying one another on a beautiful day in a beautiful place on earth.

I gave them this photo a few days later before they left the ship and they were both in tears when they saw it. They were crying for joy because at that time I took the photo they were discussing their future & both decided it was time to start their family. I unknowingly captured this amazing moment that this couple had decided to embark on the next step with their life together. It brought me to tears.
