Our work was recently published in Trivium Magazine!

I recently traveled to the Dolomites in Italy, and brought along my vintage 35mm film camera. I’m thrilled to announce that one of my film images, alongside a short personal reflection I wrote, has been published in the Autumn 2025 issue of Trivium Magazine. It’s a special honor to contribute a personal photograph and written reflection to a beautiful Catholic publication when so much of my work is for the wedding industry, and I’m honored to be among the wonderful artists featured in the magazine.

This issue of the magazine is not available for purchase, as Trivium Magazine operates on a pre-order basis.

Because my audience is unable to see the magazine feature directly, I’ve included my image and reflection below.

At first, the sun illuminated the panorama before us as we gazed out from the mountaintop. Miles upon miles of surrounding mountains, towns, cable cars, roadways, and air – a visual feast that I could have soaked in for hours. And I would have tried.

But those ever-changing skies suddenly shifted and what was once crystal-clear became totally masked as a rain cloud rolled over us. No, not over us…right through us.

Birds took shelter under awnings as their attempts to fly resulted in hovering instead of soaring. The constantly rotating cable cars began vanishing from sight just a few meters from the station. I was suddenly suffocated – not from the air itself, but from the abrupt withdrawal of the spectacular view. I had hoped to savor it for so much longer, and began to fear. What if this cloud was here to stay? What if all I would see for the remainder of my time on the mountain was gray?

And yet, creeping over my initial fear was an even stronger sense of awe. A phenomenon once so distant from my perspective at sea level was brought into reality as I was faced with the truth of where I stood. The clouds enveloped everything around me, transforming my vision of Creation. Did I miss the breathtaking views of just moments before? Of course. But this shift forced me to reflect on something completely different from anything I could have experienced elsewhere. To truly understand Creation meant to learn an appreciation for not just the ground below, but the powerful heavens above. Even if it wasn’t what I wanted in that moment.

Almost as quickly as the clouds came, they disappeared.
