Paul & Susan : 50 years married

I feel like for every big (or small) life event that I get to photograph for people, I walk away feeling like “That was the most meaningful thing I’ve photographed.” I’ve felt that way about baptisms, weddings, birth stories, milestones etc. This event was no different. I walked away feeling like the love I witnessed between this beautiful couple and their posterity was just so meaningful.  I just feel so extraordinarily blessed that people choose me and hire me to come and photograph their most important memories. Paul and Susan met at Jackson Lake Lodge more than a half century ago where they both worked. They married, and “had a 3 month honeymoon” back working at the lodge where they met. Their family saw it only fitting that they celebrate their golden anniversary at the place where they met. I just loved being able to capture them, their party, and their family.  I feel so honored to be a part of such a special day and to get to go along with all the festivities.

I saw it very appropriate that we take a photo of them in their rocking chairs. Isn’t that where we all imagine we will be after 50 years of marriage? In our rocking chairs, enjoying the view, surrounded by our posterity? I just love it.
