Rita & Larry
Several years ago while I was living in Germany, my good friend, Megan, and her fiance, Jason, called me to announce that they were getting married in two weeks, and would I be their photographer? I agreed, and with that short notice, they bought my ticket and flew me to Montgomery, Alabama, to document their wedding.
Early in 2021, I got another call: Jason’s mother, Rita, was getting married to her fiance, Larry. Again, with two weeks’ notice, I was asked to come to Montgomery for the wedding- this time only from Atlanta. Of course, I said yes; Rita has become a dear friend over the years, and I was thrilled that she had found love during Covid, as I had.
It was a beautiful weekend; a small, intimate wedding in a charming backyard. Rita and Larry were surrounded by fifteen of their friends. She wore a stunning gown found in a local shop; he surprised her that morning by renting a tux and waiting at the bottom of the stairs for his bride. The young-at-heart couple could’ve been taken for twenty-somethings, with the lilt in their step and the stars in their eyes.
