50 plus 50 equals an Awesome time!

For the second straight weekend, I was privileged again to be asked to photograph another 50th wedding anniversary, this time for my friend Kerry's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Frank and Kimiko Kawahara at the Redondo Beach Cheesecake Factory. What a spectacular evening it was!

What was unique about this event compared to last week's (which was equally awesome BTW) was that the children displayed photographs from the couple's original wedding ceremony and reception 50 years ago. And here they were, 50 years later, celebrating that same love that brought them together. And I was there,asked to add to their family photo history book. How can I not love this job?!

The night also included a terrific slideshow presentation made my Kerry for Frank and Kimiko which included photos from both their childhoods, growing up, when they met, their travels, etc. All the pertinent memories that one would want to share on a momentous 50th anniversary. It was so touching to watch Frank and Kimiko's memories displayed on a big screen for everyone in attendance to see. I truly was honored to be there, and to have the opportunity to add to their life slideshow.

Enjoy the slideshow of some of the images I photographed last night. And wish that if you are with someone, or when you find someone, that you too can live such a glorious, love filled life like Frank and Kimiko :)
