A Bride & Groom to Remember!

This was a very unique & special wedding. I will remember it for a long time. The bride and groom are 81- and 82-years old! (Although they are both a young 80.) Their story is a neat one- they corresponded by letters between California & Michigan and he flew out there this past fall to propose to her.

What made it so special, for one, was how the acted together- they just enjoy & cherish each other, you can tell. But, secondly, was their families. Almost all of their children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren were able to attend the wedding and they played an important part. I was so honored to capture this great legacy that this wonderful couple has built.

The families filled the role of pastor, musicians (many of them sang- it was beautiful, plus flute and piano), and every part of the wedding and reception. The reception had introductions of all the family members and how they belonged to the bride or groom. They also had a time of singing the families favorite songs-mostly hymns.

I didn’t really know what to expect from the day, but it was so much more special than I imagined! Thank you for letting me be a part of your family for the day and capturing some special moments. (There are many, many pictures of all the families, but I couldn’t narrow those down- you’ll see those later.) I will have the rest of your images edited soon!
