I have known the Hodges for 2 years now. Ruth has hired me for a good number of events at Shiloh Baptist Church in Carlisle. I've really enjoyed the relationship I've made with all the amazing people at that church. On September 26th, 2009, Ruth and Mark celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary and I was there to capture it all. 
Ruth bought this hat before all the planning really began, then built the whole event around this hat. There were a few objections to the hat from others because you couldn't see her eyes when she wore it. But it was very much Ruth's style and I loved it.

I really enjoyed hearing people talk throughout the night about how Ruth and Mark are an example of how a married couple should be. An example of how we should love each other.

Their wedding party was so large I had to stand on the third pew to get this photo. Many of the people in their orriginal wedding party were able to be there, 50 years later. Her brother walked her down the isle both times. This time her children and grandsons were welcome additions to the wedding party.
Everything was gold, even Ruth's nails. She paid close attention to every little detail. My kind of bride :)
This is her grandson, Andrew, singing a blessing. He is in a very popular boys choir and he sings like an angel. He's got a great name too.
I could not get over this cake!
This headpiece was on loan from a friend. A golden beaded queen's crown.
Possibly one of my favorite shots ever.
This is their wedding album from 1959.
Their photographer worked at the US Army War College as a photographer- Dick Nail, now deceased. This event was all about tradition. In case you're not aware, I am one of the photographers for the USAWC.
50 years later. Still going strong.
Congratulations you two! I'll plan to be there on your 75th!
