Amber Robinson, a photographer from Raleigh, North Carolina, is used to capturing photos of young couples in love.
Much of her business comes from weddings and engagement shoots with couples bursting at the seams with new love. Recently, however, she took on an assignment that was… a bit different from her usual fare.
The photos she took were no less romantic or full of love. Unlike her usual clients, the stars of this photo shoot were her own parents.
Robinson’s mom and dad — Marvin and Wanda Brewington — have been married for 47 years, and Robinson felt it was time the world heard their powerful love story.
She shared the glamorous photos on Instagram where they quickly went viral, racking up thousands of likes and comments.
The lifelong connection the couple has shared practically jumps off the screen, and has people across the internet swooning.
The photos weren’t just adorable. They held a powerful message about making love last far beyond a wedding day or engagement shoot.
“In this wonderful creative industry that I worked in, I focus so much on providing couple hours with a day of beautiful photography,” she wrote in the emotional post. “To be honest, rarely do I stop to think about the day, weeks, months or years that follow a wedding day.”
In her parents’ 47 years together, they’ve endured cancer, raised children, been through dozens of ups and downs, and have shown their children how to live with the generosity of an open heart.
