Amazing photo! I wish I had a photo from my second date with my love!
They sure look like they wanted to spend the rest of their lives together!
utterly breathtaking. I swear I can feel the love from the photo and it raises the little hairs on my arms
so romantic...
This photo is full of love, it's realy strong. It's much more than a style picture. The sister was a pretty good photographer.

AWESOME!!

Beautiful picture! I love it!
Love was so uncomplicated before. You meet a guy, you go on a few dates, you fall so madly in love, and you get married in a short while. Now everything is so complex, and people tend to overanalyze love. Such a shame.

This must be the sweetest photo. It is wonderful!
we are exposed to so much forced sexuality in ads these days, that when you see a picture like this you remember how simple the real thing is.
Real love!

Oops, just read the text more carefully and see who took the photo. It might explain why they have their eyes open!

This month Madrid is hosting a photo-festival, it's called photoespaña...Im sure you also checked out Ron Gaella's work at Loewe's store in Madrid, well, there are a couple other expos with old pictures such as this one and they are simply amazing...you're right, some of thos pictures are just amazing!
Best,

What lovely photos.. a era gone by... enjoy them!
For me what makes this photo is the grass - you can almost hear it moving, brushing against your own skin. I love the way that your blog has evolved. I know that you presented a vintage photo series last year, but I also mean with respect to other types of photos that you are presenting. Great work! Seems your blog will not become stale.
This photo is wonderful. I love vintage photos, especially those of the 50's.
http://justrockandrose.blogspot.com
This vintage photos idea is amazing! I always had a thing for old photos but the ones posted here are truly beautiful. Thanks for giving us the chance to appreciate them!

The BEST yet!
What a great photo. I wish I had pictures of my grandparents when they were young. They have passed and all I have are the most recent photos.
It's hard to imagine these two ever grew old. This could be an album cover or a book jacket. Just beautiful!
I'm so in love with this photo.
very romantic!!
http://wonderfashionista.blogspot.com/
Thanks to published my grandparents's pictures! ;)
love love love...
http://milanboya.blogspot.com/
The best thing about this picture is that it is real and part of a story of intimacy which not just came true but is being told their grandson. Beautiful moments have consequences and can and should be appreciated in their honesty and meaning by any number of generations later. Thanks.
So lovely
Wow, that's a beautiful picture.. It's things like this that make me wish I had a girlfriend... it would be amazing just to have someone to love... anyway...I just started a blog myself, I think you might like it. Take a look at it, and leave a comment or two, I would love to hear what you think.
I adore this
aw amazing photo! it´s by far the best vintage picture in a long time.
the story makes the photo so much better. what a wonderful picture to still have in your family. i also loved the scalloped white edging on vintage photos, in itself a mat or frame for the picture. wish they still made these!
this photo is quite lovely. it's utterly inspiring.
I wanted to look again at the vintage photos.. i really enjoyed them.. thanks!
Brilliant. This picture is so rich. I feel that this picture doesn't promote or show clothing, it inspires design.
unyuuuuuuu!!!
*that's how i say cute*
this picture is so romantic. i can see how much they love each other. best vintage photo ever.
cool
So beautiful. If you hadn't noted it was grandmere et grandpere, I would have thought ad campaign for Vogue - possibly a fragrance ad.
this picture is just perfect. it makes me happy.
I love this!
so Adorable
This photo is so inspiring and is what love is all about! :) Thanks for sharing it with us.
They are GORGEOUS!!
msgnifique!
