where sky meets soil

In 2015, they eloped on a small Texas airstrip
a runway behind their home, a neighbor as the officiant.
No guests. No photographs.
Just wind and intention.
A promise made not for spectacle, but for soul.

Now, ten years later, their story has settled into something tangible
a love both grounded and unbound.
Two wild children, born of sky and soil.
A home built with intention
One hangar that hums with the sound of their shared devotion

Built by their own two hands.
A garden that returns each season, proof of what can grow when you stay.

To stand beside them now, in the stillness of Idaho’s backcountry,
was to witness what endurance looks like when it softens into grace.
Love that has weathered, rebuilt, forgiven
love that keeps choosing.

That morning, a Grumman Widgeon lifted from the tarmac,
carrying the invisible weight of years
all the small, unseen moments that built a life.
It circled over the land they’ve tended together,
where air and earth fold into one.
A union of all they’ve sown and become.

Shot on 35mm film, the images breathe in layers
grain, grit, and reverence.
They hold what words cannot
the quiet resilience of two people who chose each other before anyone was watching,
and still do. 

Because love isn’t always loud.
It’s the return again and again
to the place where sky meets soil.
