Photograph, from left to right, of Josie Shaw and William H. Shaw standing with their wedding cake while celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary at the residence of Everett Shaw in Alhambra. A low stucco wall enters the foreground at left and stretches to the right. A three-tiered wedding cake sits atop the right side of the wall at center. Behind the wall, Josie and William Shaw stand in the near distance at center. Josie stands leftmost and gazes past the camera. William Shaw stands to the right of her and behind the cake; he gazes towards the left. A driveway enters from the lower right corner and extends on an upward angle behind the Shaws and towards a garage that is barely visible behind Josie. Pines line the far side of the driveway. A neighboring house stands in the background at right, obscured by the pine trees.
