Love Stories

They Found Love At 86 And 84. Spike Promised One Hell Of A Party.

And they sure did.

Some couples make you believe in love all over again. Spike and Dorothy found each other in their late 80s, and from the very first conversation Spike knew exactly what kind of wedding he wanted.

It's never too late.

We had the joy of photographing Spike and Dorothy's wedding, but first, we sat down with them in our Lemont studio for a love story session. They laughed, they teased each other, and they looked at each other like two teenagers.

Press play above and hear their story in their own words. We promise you'll be smiling by the end.

One hell of a party.

Spike wasn't kidding. When the wedding day came, they celebrated like nobody was watching — dancing, laughing, and soaking in every single moment with the people they love.

That's what we want every couple to take away from Spike and Dorothy: don't wait for the perfect time. Love is worth celebrating, loudly, at any age.

Your story deserves to be told, too.

A love story session is a chance to capture the way you talk about each other, the little looks, and the laughs, so you can watch it again and again for years to come.
