A Photo is more than art

The story behind the moment
Ret. CMsgt. Walt Richardson and his wife Helen were a true testament to the power of love and commitment. As a Tuskegee airman in World War II, Walt had seen the horrors of war and understood the importance of cherishing every moment with loved ones. That's why, after retiring from service, he became in integral part of his community and church family.
The Red Dog Studio has been a Fort Walton Beach full-service photography studio for over a decade, and is known for its ability to
capture the true essence of a couple's love and commitment. Mari has a special talent for making their clients feel at ease in front of the camera, allowing them to relax and be themselves. As a result, their photographs were always filled with genuine emotion and laughter.
One of their most memorable moments of Helen and Walt was when Mari captured a photograph of Walt and Helen laughing together about their first date. It was a moment that perfectly encapsulated their .
love story and the joy they brought to each other's lives. Little did they know that this image would later be used at Walt's funeral, reminding everyone of the value of an image and how it can evoke memories and emotions that words simply cannot.
Walt and Helen's legacy lives on through this and other images of them and the wonderful word they did with their community. They hired Mari because they understood that a picture is worth a thousand words and that capturing the love and joy between two people is truly priceless
