We bumped into Alex & Ellen on their Golden Wedding Anniversary


Myself and my eldest daughter where very happy to meet Alex & Ellen whilst doing a photo shoot at St Mary's Church in Purley on 28th November 2009.

Fifty years to the day Alex and Ellen had married at St Mary's Church and they decided they would wander down and re-visit the church having moved from the village.  They thought would only get a chance to look from the outside being a Saturday,  but to their surprise found the doors open and myself, my daughter and my camera inside. 

We got chatting and I found it so beautiful that Alex and Ellen still looked so happy and radiant after 5o years of marriage and romantic that they where visiting the very church where they took their vows all those years ago.  I was more then happy for them to take a wander round the church which would bring back so many happy memories.

My daughter who is always very thoughtful suggested that I photographed them, we decided we would mount the photograph and give them it as a gift.

It gave me a good feeling to be able to do this for them and they where so great full.

It was one of the most special photographs that I have ever taken at the altar and totally unplanned.

We hope Alex and Ellen will have many more happy years together.
