7,300 Days Together

Twenty years, or 7,300 days, as their little chalkboard put it. This couple wanted to mark the milestone the way they have spent most of those days: together, outdoors, and not taking themselves too seriously.

Their son joined for the first photos, kissed on both cheeks and holding the sign. Then it was just the two of them, with a bunch of dried flowers, from an ivy wall to the harbour with the city behind them, old stone steps, quiet bush paths and a paddock full of sheep.

Chi photographed this one. She kept it light and unhurried: a lift off the ground, a hide and seek around a tree, a forehead kiss on a forest path, and a lot of laughing in between.

After twenty years, they still hold hands without thinking about it. That was the photo we were really after.
