53 years and counting...

One of my favorite couple's shoots so far. My grandparents have been married for 53 years and are still fearlessly loving each other every day. It takes courage to live like this. It's a courageous choice to decide to walk through the storms together rather than running away. It takes strength to make a vow and let it age. I'm so glad they did. I was so privileged to photograph them.

"The bravest love is wildly faithful and it falls hard again every morning."

I can only give you love that lasts forever,

And the promise to be near each time you call,
And the only heart I own is yours and yours alone, that's all, that's all.

I can only give you country walks in springtime,

And a hand to hold when leaves begin to fall,
And a love whose burning light to warm the winter night, that's all, that's all.
There are those I am sure who have told you,
They will give you the world for a toy.
All I ask for these arms to enfold you, and a love, time can never destroy.
If you're wond'ring what I'm asking in return, dear,
You'll be glad to know that my demands are small.
Say it's me that you'll adore for now and ever more, that's all, that's all.
