Gary & Renee are dear friends of ours, so when they asked me if I would like to take pictures at their 25th Anniversary party you can imagine my excitement. Their family has been such a treasure in my life, and I have been so blessed by them.
Often I witness people giving themselves to each other in marriage, and I get to be part of the beginning of their story. However Gary & Renee's story begins before I was born. If I can remember correctly they meet through mutual friends sometime in their teenage years, and upon meeting there was a spark, and a definite interest in each other. They started hanging out more, going on dates, and eventually they feel in love, and were married. Twenty-five years later I know they would tell us they are more in love then ever before.
That's the beauty of love, it's gets better with time.
I feel so blessed to witness couples starting their lives together in marriage, but there are times when I find myself searching for the Gary & Renee's in life. Because they remind of what is yet to come. They remind us of how truly valuable and meaningful marriage is. I'm sure twenty-five years of marriage has brought it's joys, trials, challenges, and changes. I am inspired to see that as you do life together you continue to pursue a each other and the LORD with all of your heart. Thanks for being such a stellar example for us to follow.
So here's to you Gary & Renee, and your beautiful family. Thanks for allowing me to capture this moment in your lives, and your families lives. May you be blessed with many more years. I look forward to your 50th Anniversary party. ;)
Happy Friday Everyone!
