Surprise 80th Birthday Party - Libby & Moshe

Last Saturday I got to photograph a surprise 80th birthday party for Libby and Moshe. Their family and friends from all over the United States met at the Park Cafe in Nashville, TN to celebrate their favorite couple. Songs were song, poems were read and toasts were given to the birthday girl and boy. These retirement parties and milestone birthday parties are quickly becoming my favorite thing to photograph. It is amazing to see the lifelong friendships and families connections that have lasted for generations. Libby and Moshe are truly blessed and I can honestly say that I too was blessed by getting to photograph these connections. Happy Birthday, Libby & Moshe!

70th Birthday Party in Albany Kentucky - Glen

This year has been the year of photographing non wedding events and last weekend I was hired to travel outside of Nashville to Albany, KY for Glen's 70th birthday.  The party took place at the couple's lake house on Dale Hollow Lake and was executed, planned, and designed by Glen's daughter. Karen is professional planner in California and she transformed her mom and dad's garage into a stunning dinning hall. 

Besides the fact that this was a gorgeous location, it was amazing to photograph such an intimate event for a man that is obviously very loved. "Lifelong" friends (some for 50 years) gave toasts and shared stories. Kevin Ashworth of Louisville's 610 Magnolia prepared a private feast in the couple's kitchen and the night ended with good friends, Walker and Kays, playing Jazz on the back patio. Happy Birthday, Glen!
