Brigid & Larry Celebrate 40 years! :: Harford County Anniversary Party

September 19, 2013 · Leave a Comment

HarfordCounty40th-anniversary-00a

When I first heard about this opportunity for photograph Brigid & Larry’s anniversary celebration, I was SO excited. For one, Brigid and Larry are not only neighbors to my Mom Mom and Pop Pop, but Brigid also works with my Aunt Laura & I can’t say enough how much I appreciate and love these connections! :) Plus I was so excited because this would be a chance to photograph a love and marriage that has seen 40 years! I love photographing the joy and excitement of weddings – There is something extra sweet about an anniversary though, especially seeing how much Brigid & Larry make each other so happy & seeing how happy their family and friends make them. :) It was an awesome experience photographing such a sweet couple and all their family and friends, and on such a beautiful day at Top of the Bay at Aberdeen Proving Ground. I’m so happy to have been a part of such a fun occasion! :)

We started off at a familiar location for some family photos at the house, right off the water. And even though the kids weren’t totally loving it, they gave us some smiles (usually once they were in their grandparents’ arms ;) ) Oh.. and you may notice a bit of a Texas theme here.. haha

Of course they’re all giggles and smiles once we’re inside! :P

Listening to them renew their vows, with their son officiating, I couldn’t help but smile. Their heartfelt (& funny) vows just showed how wonderfully these two have grown together.

One of my favorite parts, the slideshow put together by their son & daughter! Complete with hilarious, borderline-embarrassing? photos, with plenty of tear-jerking touching moments of the kids and grandkids growing up. Watching Brigid & Larry react to the images filled me with so much emotion, thinking of how many amazing things we get to experience in our lives. It was amazing to see all these important moments in their lives together

Brigid & Larry were even joined by friends & another couple (celebrating their anniversary) from their military unit in Germany, where they were married!

Such a fun day! I’m so grateful to have been a part of such a good time & such a fantastic reason to celebrate! Wishing you two another decade and more of happiness and love :)

Welcome!

For me, it's as much about delivering gorgeous images of your important moments, as it is about you enjoying each of those moments. It's about the experience, about the joy and the love and the relationships with the most important people in your life. Whether it's your wedding day, engagement, or family session, it's about you soaking up every bit of it, and having beautiful photos to cherish afterwards. I love love, and love meeting new people. I am always honored to be a part of your story, thanks for visiting!
