Mum and Dad’s 60th Wedding Anniversary Dinner

The occasion was my parents’ 60th wedding anniversary dinner for 18, the dinner was part of an extended stay in The Boathouse. They wanted everyone to dress up for dinner, glitz and glamour were to be the order of the day.
I asked them for digital copies of photos of their life together over the past 60 years, converted around 150 of them to black and white and set to work. Everything was shipped to England a couple months before the event, all I had to do when I arrived was make the feather centerpieces, tie the chair bows and lay the table.
The theme was perfect for a celebration of a life together, everyone spent many happy hours checking out all the photos
