\u00a0Obviously I was way off on that!<\/p>\n<p>Over the years we have continued to remain good friends, and still get together regularly for dinners, baseball games and various other family activities. \u00a0Hopefully this summer I will manage to drag Conrad back out onto the lake for some waterskiing.<\/p>\n<p>Here is a photo from their wedding; I apologize for the low quality but this is a scan sent me by Conrad and I&#8217;m afraid his scanner is not very good. \u00a0Next is a photo of the entire Spens family, including daughters Courtney and Amy, that I took several years ago (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.tomellisphoto.com\/blog\/spens-family-photo-session-august-20\/\">you can see the Spens Family photo session by clicking here<\/a>).\u00a0 Probably time for an update photo session this summer!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.tomellisphoto.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/Spens-wedding-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-7908\" src=\"http:\/\/www.tomellisphoto.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/Spens-wedding-1-1024x731.jpg\" alt=\"Photo of bride and groom preparing to cut their wedding cake\" width=\"1024\" height=\"731\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.tomellisphoto.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/Spens-wedding-1-1024x731.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.tomellisphoto.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/Spens-wedding-1-300x214.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.tomellisphoto.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/Spens-wedding-1-768x549.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.tomellisphoto.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Spens_047.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-10187 size-large\" src=\"http:\/\/www.tomellisphoto.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Spens_047-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Family photo of couple with their two grown daughters, posed on the waterfront along Lake Washington\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.tomellisphoto.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Spens_047-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.tomellisphoto.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Spens_047-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.tomellisphoto.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Spens_047-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><script>\/\/ <![CDATA[ (function(i,s,o,g,r,a,m){i['GoogleAnalyticsObject']=r;i[r]=i[r]||function(){ (i[r].q=i[r].q||[]).push(arguments)},i[r].l=1*new Date();a=s.createElement(o), m=s.getElementsByTagName(o)[0];a.async=1;a.src=g;m.parentNode.insertBefore(a,m) })(window,document,'script','\/\/www.google-analytics.com\/analytics.js','ga'); ga('create', 'UA-6691534-1', 'auto'); ga('send', 'pageview'); \/\/ ]]><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Happy 30th Wedding Anniversary to Conrad and Sue Ann Spens Wow, it is really hard for me to believe that 30 years ago I was the photographer at the wedding of our good friends Conrad and Sue Ann. \u00a0This was relatively early in my career as a wedding photographer; at this point I had been [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[185,11,10],"tags":[236,319,21,20],"class_list":["post-10185","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-anniversaries","category-business","category-weddings","tag-happy-anniversary","tag-seattle-wedding-anniversary-photos","tag-seattle-wedding-photographers","tag-seattle-wedding-photography"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.tomellisphoto.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10185","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.tomellisphoto.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.tomellisphoto.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.tomellisphoto.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.tomellisphoto.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=10185"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/www.tomellisphoto.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10185\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":10193,"href":"https:\/\/www.tomellisphoto.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10185\/revisions\/10193"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.tomellisphoto.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=10185"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.tomellisphoto.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=10185"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.tomellisphoto.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=10185"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
