The photos of this couple have been hanging out on my desk for a while. What a stylish 1950s pair they are! They would be celebrating their 61st anniversary sometime this month.

A set of never before seen negatives from John and Jackie Kennedy’s 1953 wedding was recently found stashed in a darkroom by family members of their back-up wedding photographer. The negatives are up for auction until October 15th and at my last check they were going for $3141.

What an incredible find and rare chance to own a beautiful piece of American history.

Helen & Bud – 1958

January 12, 2014 – 7:34 pm

I really enjoy the perspective of this photo. Obviously, several candid shots were being taken of the cake cutting and it’s fun to see another photographer off to the right framing the shot. This picture of Helen and Bud was taken at Hamilton Air Force Base in California in 1958.

The base was closed permanently in 1976 and is now a part of the city of Novarto.
