Helpful Posts: 18 years ago today I did the best thing I could have ever done. I took this lady to be my Bride! Why she agreed I guess I'll never know! I didn't ask. Sometimes it's best not to dwell!
It has been the best 18 years anyone could ever ask for. And we’re just getting warmed up!
It just keeps getting better!
Happy Anniversary Sweetie!

Re: 18
Well your bride of 18 years seems happy - I assume she is smiling at you not just the camera.
Excellent portrait.

Re: 18
Lovely image and a lovely story, Terry. Congratulations!
On the other hand, at 18 years, you are almost a raw beginner.

Yeh, 18 years - You're both just getting into your stride. Enjoy the next 18 and the ones beyond that.

Re: 18
A wonderful portrait with so many well-considered elements - background, lighting, pose.
If I was being really nit-picky I'd suggest that you've slightly overdone the whiteness of her teeth in post, but she may just have perfect teeth of course!
My wife and I celebrate six years next month; I hope we are still smiling like that at 18 years! Congratulations.

Re: 18
Someone once told me that you always take better photographs of the things that you care about. It shows. Lovely portrait of a lovely lady. Congratulations on both captures.

Re: 18
Thank you guys. It means a lot.
I appreciate the feedback John. Thank you.
She seems happy to me Paul. I think what we are seeing is her Incredible Spirit Soaring! It is so overwhelming even a hack like me could grab it with a camera! Originally Posted by pnodrog

Re: 18
I think her name is Judy...
Happy Anniversary to you both. The remarks on this post reminds me of a movie I kept watching over and over again (yes! I have the tape) where the minister said, "Today is your wedding...tomorrow you start your marriage." I like her smile, Terry -- she has the glow of happiness painted all over her.Last edited by IzzieK; 11th July 2016 at 06:51 AM.
