The Sweetest Couple

Just a few short days ago, we had the privilege of working with a super sweet couple who came in looking to re-create a 2012 version of their wedding photo from 1970 (yes, 42nd wedding anniversay!) This couple had heard about our studio after we had teamed up with the local blood drive, offering a free session with (1) 8x10 for having donated to the drive. Apparently, the husband has been donating platelets for many years now, going every 2 weeks and spending 2- 2 1/2 hours in the chair as he waits for it to be drawn. He jokingly claims he does this to get out of the house, being retired he "has nothing better to do" :) I could think of plenty, but I'm glad there are people who aren't afraid, or impatient, who go in and donate so regularly!


On their original wedding photo, the couple was standing side-by-side, turned in towards each other. In our case, we had to sit them on two stools to achieve the desired height and position because the wife had recently gone through surgery and was wearing a cast during the session. And though they were looking to re-create their wedding photo as it was posed, they ended up choosing this pose instead because, as she put it, "Bob's finally smiling in one". The smiles are a result of a joke that Bob cracked about the position his legs were in, gave us all quite the chuckle :)
