SIXTY NINE YEARS!!!!! That\u2019s right. Sixty Nine. That\u2019s how long Brandon\u2019s grandparents have been married. My grandmother passed away when she was 96. My grandmother was my favorite person in the world. She and my grandfather were amazing together, and I\u2019m always blown away with the longevity of the some marriages I see week after week. If you\u2019re one of my brides, and you overhear me ask your grandparents \u201chow long have the two of you been married\u201d, it\u2019s not that I\u2019m prying, or nosy. It\u2019s that I\u2019m awestruck at the length of time these two people have cared for one another. I\u2019ll get a slew of answers- usually from the grandfather- that range from \u201ctoo long\u201d, to \u201cI don\u2019t know her\u201d to \u201cseems like forever\u201d, or even \u201cseems like yesterday\u201d. It\u2019s fascinating, and it\u2019s one of the simple pleasures I\u2019m given week after week from what I do. <\/p>\n

SIXTY NINE. That\u2019s the longest period of time I\u2019ve ever heard from any couple I\u2019ve asked- And I\u2019ve asked many over the years. They were married when he was 15, and she was 16. Absolutely amazing. <\/p>\n

I captured this image while i was shooting the formal family photographs. I always try and make sure that grandparents are done first so they don\u2019t have to stand around too long. After photographing them with their family, I led them over to a bench so they could relax a short distance from where we were shooting. Every so often, no matter what I\u2019m shooting, I tend to look all around to see what\u2019s going on around me. When I turned and looked behind myself at one point, I noticed them talking to one another as they watched everyone during the shoot. I felt compelled to capture them exactly how they were at that time, and I literally excused myself, interrupted the flow of the shoot, and quietly walked back toward them with my 70-200 and fired off a few frames of them hanging out in their own little world on that bench. I\u2019ll be blogging several images from Morgan and Brandon\u2019s wedding later this week, but for ME, this was my favorite of the day. It was an image I would have never captured if I hadn\u2019t been looking all around, and I hope it\u2019s an image that Brandon\u2019s family will cherish for generations to come.<\/p>\n
