It was such an honor to document a very special anniversary party. It wasn't just any anniversary... it was the Russ' Wedding Anniversary!
Mama and Papa Russ have remained in love for sixty years... yeh, you read right... SIXTY!!!
Now the the Russ' aren't just any ol' married couple, they're my adopted grandparents! :) They mean the world to me and are the sweetest, most loving, gracious and kind people I know, full of life and overflowing with the love of the Lord.
Ok, maybe the sweetness is more the better half.... Mama Russ ;) just kidding. Papa Russ is just as sweet and lovable! I think she finally rubbed off on him after 60 long years!!
It was a sweet occasion, as their family came in from all over to celebrate their love and commitment to one another. The family decorated the church and also prepared the food. Everything was so beautiful!
Their Daughter, Cathy, is an extraordinary chef and caterer. She made the cake along with the other pretty food prep. The details were so pretty... it looked like a wedding reception all over again. :)
Many loved ones came to celebrate this amazing couple's love for one another...
We managed to grab a shot of the whole family... along with each family unit.
.........and to think it all started with these two.
The next sequence is my fav by far! Such a sweet expression of sixty years of life, love, commitment, dedication, grace, and the Lord.
Mama and Papa Russ.......the short and sweet of it is..... I love y'all so much!
Thank you for allowing me to be a part of your special celebration. May God continue to bless you with a life of joy and love with each other, in Him.
