When Jim Zetz learned that he doesn’t have much time left to live, he decided to do something special and memorable for his 11-year-old daughter. Jim is fighting a losing battle against pancreatic cancer.

“The most beautiful people I’ve known are those who have known trials, have known struggles, have known loss, and have found their way out of the depths,” the photographer said.
“I met Josie [the day of the wedding],” she added. “She was a little bit overwhelmed when her mom picked her up from school and told her. She just needed a moment. Later, she said, ‘This is the best day of my life.’ She was very glad and excited to have these moments.”
