30 years of wedded bliss

i visited the Shoals at their home to capture some images to mark this awesome occasion. it seems so rare to hear of a couple making it to their 30 year anniversary these days. to acknowledge this i made the comment to them that they are part of a dying breed. i then realized that didn't sound very flattering. they just laughed.

here they are with a photo of themselves at the age of 19-



these are truly wonderful people. they have great spirit and wonderful senses of humor. i believe a good sense of humor can get you through anything. especially 30 years of marriage!




mrs. shoals also brought out her wedding dress and veil, so i took a few photos with those items and then since her granddaughter was there, we threw her into the mix, too.




ok mr. & mrs. shoals! you better hang on to my number so i can shoot your 50th anniversary, too! happy anniversary!

Oh my word! I love them!
If God came down from heaven and said I had to pick just one, I'd be heading south!
The one of us holding hands made me cry! And the one of my Grandaughter in the veil, there are just no words for that. And you made my husband laugh!

You have such a great eye for this. And the fact that your laughter is infectious helps!

I just keep staring at the picture of my veil. The way you draped it and focused on it, made me curious to see what you did. You made it look like a work of art.

So with all the clicking you did, I can't wait until you get it done.

But take your time. I'm so glad you were the one to do this. You made it so special
