This heartwarming series by Lauren Fleishman, befittingly titled ‘Love Ever After,’ shows innocent images of seniors kissing. The subjects in the photos are New York couples who have been together for over 50 years.
Feishman began this series following her grandfather’s death; she discovered a book beside his bed that had love letter written to his wife tucked inside. From then on she became devoted to capturing touching images of couples who have been together for more than 50 years.
Each photograph comes accompanied with a short story of how the couple met, yet getting through the story without tearing up is the challenging part. These images are touching in the most honest way, and symbolize the importance of love and a strong, well rounded relationship.
