70 Years of Marriage

Recently, I was asked to photograph a family gathering to celebrate the 70th wedding anniversary of a local couple at the National Exemplar Restauran, Mariemont Inn, Mariemont, Ohio.  The celebrated couple are both in their 90's and still getting around on their own (with a little help).  I took several family group images, but when it came to the two being honored, it was so much fun.  The love was still there after 70 years!

Behind but good

I have not posted most the summer - I've meant to, but never got around to doing it.  It is so easy for other things to get in the way.  I have done a number of weddings, engagements, and portraits in and around Cincinnati which you haven't seen here.  Some are on my Facebook page: L. J. Franklin Photography.  Some will make it to my new website.  Some will never be seen again.  But below are a few.

Jenn and Doug married at St. Mary Church in Hyde Park, Cincinnati, Ohio and celebrated the reception at the Kenwood Country Club, Cincinnati, Ohio

A surprise proposal and engagement session was done at the Friendship Park along the Ohio River, Cincinnati, Ohio where LJ Franklin Photography captured the special moments.

A special ceremony between two cultures was celebrated at the Gloria-Dei Lutheran Church in Crestview Hills, Kentucky and the reception took place on the B&B Riverboats in Newport, Kentucky
