Anniversary photoshoot: The Gift you've been looking for.
First anniversary: congratulations. This is the year that most couples realize the one thing nobody photographs after the wedding is the life that follows. An anniversary session is how you fix that.
We shoot anniversary sessions a little differently from a wedding. No timeline. No vendors to coordinate. Just you two and whatever feels right — an outfit change or three, a glass of wine, a location that means something. Below is how we break these down and where couples book them most.
Indoor sessions
Hotels, restaurants, a country club, the spa where you got ready on the wedding day. Indoor sessions are good for weather-proof dates, outfit changes, and a controlled light setup. Book a room for the night if you can. The gallery gets better and so does the rest of the evening.
Historic sites
You said "I want an epic anniversary." We hear you. Heels, a suit, a red dress, a bottle of champagne. Old architecture does most of the lifting — we just need good light and room to move. Historic hotels and estates are the sweet spot; city squares can be crowded on weekends.
Home sessions
The best anniversary gallery we shot last year was in a couple's kitchen. Coffee, morning light, the dog underfoot, nobody dressed up. That's the one their kid will look at in thirty years — not the one where everyone's in black tie.
Home sessions work when you love the space. If you don't love it, pick somewhere else. Simple rule.
Anniversary galleries couples print are usually the ones where they looked like themselves. Not the ones where they looked best.
Outdoor and adventure
Send us the location. We'll meet you there. Trails, lakes, beaches, cabins, cliffs — we've shot them all and we know what the light does at each. Outdoor sessions reward early mornings and late afternoons. Midday is for lunch, not photos.
Pregnancy and family milestones
Growing a family is the other session couples book us for around anniversary season. Same format, different beats. Bump portraits work best at 28–34 weeks. Newborn sessions happen in the first 14 days or not at all — the timeline is narrow.
FAQ
Anniversaries are easy to forget to celebrate. A session fixes that — and the gallery is the part you keep. Tell us where you want to shoot.
