This was a sweet senior couple that had a surprise 60th-anniversary party at the Doubletree Resort hotel. I wasn’t expecting such an elaborate event when I arrived. It was like a small wedding reception. They had a band, a wedding-style cake, and a dance floor. They even played that wedding game where they asked the couple questions to see how well they know each other. You can see in the pictures that they were constantly smiling or tearing up. They just seemed to have the best time and loved each other. I’m sure we all wish we could be like them someday. The only little problem I had was the room lighting was pretty bad. They had fluorescent lights, and I didn’t know how to balance them with my flash. I usually put a warm gel on the flash for typical reception-type incandescent lighting. It wasn’t a big deal, something more I would only notice, but in some of the pictures, the background light doesn’t quite balance with the foreground that is lit with flash. Oh well, I can always learn more no matter how long I do something. I know you will enjoy some of the pictures below.
