So, in 1999, at a wedding of two co-workers, both in middle-age (second marriage for both of them), I shot with a Leica M6 and Ilford 3200 film: https://www.greatpix.eu/Other/Stuff-from-the-20th-century/i-d4PV2xr/A https://www.greatpix.eu/Other/Stuff-from-the-20th-century/i-Q3QHpg8/A It was grainy as hell but it looked good printed. Later, in 2006, I did the same for a younger couple, both of whom worked in the company I was managing at the time: http://www.fotocycle.dk/paws/?page_id=33 By then I was shooting with a Canon DSLR. I acquired my Leica M8 a couple of years later. Geert and Anna are still married and still live in Eindhoven, with their two children and a few French bulldogs. I am still in touch and visited them there a couple of years ago.
