A wedding photographer captured her parents’ love in this incredible viral photoshoot.

Amber Robinson, a photographer from Raleigh, North Carolina, is used to capturing photos of young couples in love.

Much of her business comes from weddings and engagement shoots with couples bursting at the seams with new love. Recently, however, she took on an assignment that was... a bit different from her usual fare.

The photos she took were no less romantic or full of love. Unlike her usual clients, the stars of this photo shoot were her own parents.

Robinson's mom and dad — Marvin and Wanda Brewington — have been married for 47 years, and Robinson felt it was time the world heard their powerful love story.

She shared the glamorous photos on Instagram where they quickly went viral, racking up thousands of likes and comments.

All photos by Amber Robinson used with permission.

The lifelong connection the couple has shared practically jumps off the screen, and has people across the internet swooning.

The photos weren't just adorable. They held a powerful message about making love last far beyond a wedding day or engagement shoot.

"In this wonderful creative industry that I worked in, I focus so much on providing couple hours with a day of beautiful photography," she wrote in the emotional post. "To be honest, rarely do I stop to think about the day, weeks, months or years that follow a wedding day."

In her parents' 47 years together, they've endured cancer, raised children, been through dozens of ups and downs, and have shown their children how to live with the generosity of an open heart.

"They are the epitome of where I strive to be in my own marriage and a constant reminder that a wedding is only a day, but a marriage is forever," she wrote.

"If you are one of the millions in love, or maybe one of the millions of broken-hearted that need a visual reminder that love always endures, I would love for you to share this as a way of letting my mom and dad know, they are an inspiration to anyone who wants, believes, or is in love."

“I never dreamed of my wedding... only dreamed of a beautiful marriage.” In this wonderful creative industry that I worked in, I focus so much on providing couple hours with a day of beautiful photography. To be honest, rarely do I stop to think about the day, weeks, months or years that follow a wedding day. So today I share with you what those years after can look like when true love exists. These are my parents: married for 47 years, they have triumphed over cancer...twice. Have raised two successful daughters. They have been poor together and rich together. They have fed, sheltered, and advised countless lost souls. They love with out expectation and give freely, whatever it is they have to offer. I am SO proud to call them Mom and Dad. They are the epitome of where I strive to be in my own marriage and a constant reminder that a wedding is only a day, but a marriage is forever. If you are one of the millions in love, or maybe one of the millions of broken-hearted that need a visual reminder that love always endures, I would love for you to share this as a way of letting my mom and dad know, they are an inspiration to anyone who wants, believes, or is in love. . . . . . #imagesbyamberr #raleigh #wedding #photographer #raleighwedding #raleighphotographer #raleighweddingphotographer #anniversary #marriagegoals #marriage #blacklove #growoldtogether #growoldwithme #aarpphoto #silverfox #risingtidesociety #love #truelove #wokeweddingpros #defytheodds #southernnoirweddings #blackweddingphotographers #blackweddingphotographer #blackbride1998 #soulsreconnected #happilyeverafter #aftertheaisle #wedclique #bustld #whimsicallywed

There's a myth floating around out there that true love is dead, killed by divorce and casual hookups — but that couldn't be further from the truth.

People love to cite outdated divorce statistics, or "hook up culture," as a sign that younger generations don't take relationships seriously. But the data shows otherwise.

People are waiting longer and longer to get married, have more freedom to choose their partner, are feeling less pressure to settle down when they're not ready (or at all, if they don't want to!), and likely as a result of that, divorces are actually at a 40-year low.

"I guess people have been given a restored sense of hope through these images," Robinson writes in an email. "So much bad is happening in the world and to look at these pictures and image that a lasting love IS possible just brings hope, especially during this time of the year."

Lifelong monogamy isn't for everyone. But it's hard not to look at these photos and not get all warm and tingly.

Couple married for 47 years goes viral with glam photo shoot — but it's their love story that's warming hearts

Photos of a couple married for 47 years — and who conquered cancer twice — are going viral for exemplifying true love.

The images of Marvin Brewington, 70, and Wanda Brewington, 67, of Raleigh, N.C., were shot by their daughter, wedding photographer Amber Robinson, who uploaded them to Instagram, to the cheers of more than 7,000 people.

Robinson added: “If you are one of the millions in love, or maybe one of the millions of broken-hearted that need a visual reminder that love always endures, I would love for you to share this as a way of letting my mom and dad know, they are an inspiration to anyone who wants, believes, or is in love.”

However, Robinson wasn’t always so enamored by her parents’ affection. “Growing up, my sister and I thought it was disgusting to see our parents hug and kiss so much, but now, as a married woman, I understand,” Robinson, a mother of four in Raleigh, tells Yahoo Lifestyle. “But we also grew up with a realistic version of love — my dad has multiple sclerosis and survived prostate cancer twice — and he leaned on my mom for support.”

Robinson’s parents met in 1968 at Livingstone College in Salisbury. “My dad was a football star, a fraternity guy, and a major player with all the girls,” says Robinson. “My mom was shy and from a small mountain town, but she caught his eye. He asked her out multiple times before she said yes.”

However, Marvin didn’t exactly make the best first impression on Wanda’s parents. “My dad didn’t have a car, so he hitchhiked at least 150 miles to my grandparents’ home in Wilkesboro,” says Robinson. “Then, for Sunday dinner, my grandmother made roast beef, mashed potatoes, biscuits, green beans, and sweet potato pie. But my father ate so much food, scraping the bowls clean. My grandmother was shocked, and my grandfather said, ‘He’s got to go.’ Then they fell in love with him.”

After marrying in 1970, the couple struggled with infertility for 10 years before having two daughters and endured financial hardship. “One summer, all we ate was corn and potatoes from my grandfather’s garden, and at the time, I thought it was just an awesome idea — as an adult, I learned that my dad had taken sick leave from his job as an American Airlines engineer and my mom’s salary at the DMV made it hard to afford groceries.”

Robinson snaps her parents for their annual Christmas card and this year asked them to go formal, with professional hair and makeup. “While shooting, I wanted genuine laughter, so I gave them prompts like, ‘Whisper your favorite cupcake flavor in your dirtiest voice’ or ‘When I count to three, yell a bad word as loudly as you can,’” says Robinson. “For this particular photo, I asked my mom to tell my dad why she was proud of him.”

No one was prepared for the images of her parents to go viral, least of all Wanda, who told her daughter, “No one wants to see two old people kissing.” Yet social media called the image everything from inspiring and beautiful to #relationshipgoals.

“The photo shoot rekindled a spark between them,” says Robinson. “They were like two high school kids, so sweet and giggly. It really warmed my heart.”
