Our hearts and minds are with Lindsay and family, after reading that Wade has passed. He was a lovely, fun, and fiercely unique energy that we had the honor of knowing for a short time near 2010, soon after moving to California. We were honored to photograph Lindsay and Wade's wedding in Mendocino.

Thank you for your impressions on us Wade - and rest easy in the next stages ~

A pioneer in his own right, Long Beach has lost an immensely powerful soul with the death of Wade Windsor at age 45.

For the other dads out there - I implore you to learn from the ones described above, as it's never to late to build a lighthouse!
