lynn and emmalene • happy anniversary | hastings michigan event photographer


Last Saturday afternoon, I had the wonderful honor of photographing a 50th wedding anniversary party here in Hastings at the Walldorff. I find it hard sometimes to put into words how I feel about the people I photograph, but I will just say that it was such a blessing to be a part of Lynn and Emmalene’s special day. The party was the first time I met any of them and they were a wonderful group. It was great getting to know a little about the couple through all the kind (and funny!) things their friends and family had to say about them. Narrowing the pictures down for this blog post was difficult. There were so many great shots of the guests laughing and having a good time, but those will have to wait until the slideshow.

Members of the original bridal party as well as family sat at the head table with the couple.

There was a lot of this throughout the party …

and lots of this …

and a little of this, too.

There was music. So beautiful. Such talented grandchildren they have. 🙂

And their guests took turns “roasting” them. The stories they shared were so hilarious! What wonderful friends and family they have and such fun memories!



There was even a little bit of dancing!

Happy Anniversary, Lynn and Emmalene! It was such a pleasure to meet you and photograph your party.

  4. Our kids did a fantastic job of planning and executing the party. It was great fun–we’ll always remember all the stories, the hugs, the laughter, and the joy of seeing people enjoying the event. The power point was a tear jerker with flashbacks of years past.We loved having all of the family there together!
