Melissa + Zach | A Second Year Anniversary Session | Dallas, TX

Ok, Internet, this is my new favorite thing! Melissa and Zach hired me last year to do a special project they started and I was thrilled at the idea! Both of them really wanted to document the years of their marriage in order to show their kids as well as remember all the places they had been and the life they had lived together. With that in mind, they started an anniversary photo shoot tradition. Every year for their anniversary they do a shoot and incorporate significant things from that year of their marriage. How fun is that?!?! Last year, for year number one, they had me take pictures of them in their first apartment just doing things they loved like cooking, reading and drinking coffee. We also photographed them opening up the cards written to them by their guests at their wedding. Without realizing it, they had incorporated the ‘First Year anniversary gift’ of paper. This year they decided to go with the theme and add in the ‘Second Year Gift’ of cotton so we had some fun with cotton candy. I was SO thrilled that they invited me to stay up with the tradition and couldn’t believe it had already been a year since the first! What’s even better is that they decided to put on their wedding attire in celebration. For all you married couples out there, I think this is SUCH a fun idea. How great to actually get to put your dress on again and relive a bit of what it felt like on your wedding day. So romantic.

Melissa and Zach, thanks for continuing to let me be part of this awesome tradition and even more, to witness the growing love of your marriage. It is so fun to see how much you care for each other and are still committed to your marriage two years in. Here’s to many more anniversary shoots for the two of you!

I am obsessed with this location!

One of my favorites. 

Favorite shot of the whole session. 

Celebrating two years of marriage with the traditional gift of ‘cotton.’ 

One of the significant events of year two of marriage was that Zach made a trip to India with his seminary. He brought this back and so we added it in to the shoot to remember. 

My favorite tree in all of Dallas. 

I will finish with these because last year we started this tradition of holding up the number of years of their marriage. Once they get past ten, they may need a little help holding them up. I have some ideas about who could help them with that! 😉
