Sandra and Ben - 50 years

Last week I got to meet Sandra and Ben. They are celebrating 50 years of marriage this summer and wanted some photos to remember this milestone. All I can say is wow. 50 years together is such a wonderful accomplishment and they are still smiling, laughing, holding hands and just enjoying each other. I love it. It was inspiring to take their photos and see how much in love they still are. Here's a peek at 50 years of happiness.

We took a few with their wedding photo. Love, love, LOVE this one.

 So sweet.

 I think they had as much fun posing for the photos as I had taking them. Sandra and Ben were just laughing and smiling all morning.

 Ben even brought his high school letter jacket...which he can still fit into so we got to take a few photos of these high school sweethearts. Ahh...love this too. Nothing better than high school sweethearts.

Congratulations on 50 years. I love seeing your love shine.

Ralph and Lois

Today has been a day of best friends photos. I started out in McKinney with a pair of girls who are besties that live on opposite coasts and I ended up at Ralph and Lois' 70th Anniversary party with my college bestie. Shannon's grandparents are best friends who've been married for 70 years. 70! They are such a sweet couple and so in love. The story goes that Ralph saw this cute little red head on the train and well...they were married about three weeks later. 70 years of friendship and love is so amazing.

Congratulations!

Nancy and Roy, 50 years.

Last week I had the pleasure of spending the evening with Nancy and Roy and their closest friends and family as they celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary. What a wonderful couple with amazing stories. Their maid of honor and best man from their wedding were at the party to help tell the story of their wedding day. It was sweet, romantic and inspiring.

The tables were set under the trees.

Each table was set with china from one member of the family. Beautiful.

 Dinner was cooked on a chuckwagon.

 I love these two photos.

 Their daughters are both so awesome. I love these nice sweet moments.

 They had the original cake topper from their wedding cake on top of their 50th anniversary cake :)

 Such a wonderful couple.

Congratulations on 50 years! 

Peg & Tom = 60 years

Last weekend I photographed Peg and Tom's 60th wedding anniversary party. Sixty! I think that is just wonderful and amazing, how many people can say they've spent 60 years with the love of their life? They are just an adorable couple still in love after 60 years. Here are a few highlights from their party.

Their son is a priest so they had a family mass to start the evening. I like this photo, it says to me...Mass for 2 and I envision the two of them standing side by side on their wedding day.

 It was a full house of family and friends.

 Mom and daughter share a laugh during the sermon.

 Peg and Tom listen to the service and a photo of everyone reflected in the chalice as they bless the wine before communion.

Peg's hands with the wedding ring she has never taken off.

 After the mass they talked with friends...

 ...and had some cake. They were so cute cutting the cake and when they were done he licked the icing off her finger. It was a sweet moment :)

A toast to the Peg and Tom. 60 years.

 I just thought this was fun with the reflection and the decorations.

 Congratulations Peg and Tom! Your love is inspiring.
