Family: Dennis and Colleen.

She met him when she was twenty-one years old through a mutual friend. Her sister. She was not interested she recalled. He laughed and said the same. Love has a funny way of stepping into two people's lives and making the unexpected happen. Because the same two people who met through a mutual friend, the same two people who were not interested in one another, ended up marrying one another and celebrating their 30th wedding anniversary this year. Enter Dennis and Colleen.

30 years, they have been married, raised two beautiful children, made a couple of moves and grown together. However, if you met Dennis and Colleen, you could never tell they have celebrated their 30th wedding anniversary because they still act like newlyweds. Seriously.

If you cannot already tell, in a lot of the pictures, I caught what I think is one of Colleen's best traits, her smile and laughter and through her best traits, I caught Dennis's best trait, his unconditional love for Colleen. You might be wondering why she is laughing and smiling a lot in her pictures, and I will give you one guess as to who is making her laugh. Dennis. If he was not singing to her during the session, he said something to make her grin ever so big or laugh out loud. To spend the morning with Dennis and Colleen was an absolute blessing. It was such an inspiration for Bryan and I to see that although you have been married for 30 years, that does not mean you cannot stop having fun and be young in the heart.

Dennis and Colleen, I wish I could sum up in words what an absolute honor it was for Bryan and I to meet the two of you. You both have a kind of love that is indescribable. It is beautiful, it is sweet and most of all, it is infectious because those around you cannot help but smile and feel pure bliss. Bryan and I want to wish you many more years of a happy, long and young in the heart marriage. Hope the both of you enjoy the pictures because like the two of you, they came out fabulous.
