This sweetest of anniversary sessions captured by ALICIA LACEY PHOTOGRAPHY at the beautiful RIVEROAKS CHARLESTON in South Carolina is what we all dream of when we first embark on married life! After 57 years of marriage I hope my husband and I look this happy and content in each others company (11 years down – 46 to go!)
Alicia tells us, “I’m willing to be you’d be hard pressed to find someone who will tell you that marriage is easy. Amongst all the good days are the bad; those hard, challenging moments when you have to fight for what you believe it – each other. And so often, more and more people are finding it easier to give up than fight. Which is why when you hear of a legacy couple – those who have fought the fight and won – it’s almost unbelievable.
I had the privilege of photographing Phyllis and Ken at RiverOaks in Charleston, SC. This amazing couple is celebrating 57 years of marriage this summer, a point in their lives that they both agree has required a lot of hard work, but that it was worth every moment of it. When I asked them for a few bit of marriage advice, Ken spoke up immediately and said it was simple: treat one another as equals. When you share your lives together in every aspect, good or bad, it makes it that much more worth living.”
