What an amazing celebration! Two couples (the brides are sisters) celebrating their 50th wedding anniversaries. Together. With allllll their families. Such a happy occasion and I was so excited to be able to capture it. I mean 50 years. 50. That is a long time, and they both looked so happy and in love.

This shot is only of the 1st cousins. That is a LOT of people. And it took me climbing up on a chair to take it. But…we didn’t just stop at this shot, we actually got one with all of the first cousins PLUS their spouses. So just double this picture.

Love the tears in the eyes (of most everyone there) during the toasts by the couples’ sons.
