Kim + Mike : Baltimore’s Patterson Park Anniversary Session

October 7, 2013 by Jensey 1 Comment

Just as my heart grows three sizes when we photograph family sessions with past couples, I looooooove anniversary sessions! There’s nothing better than catching up with friends and seeing how their lives change every year, especially when they’re couples like Kim and Mike. And especially when said sessions end with dinner, wine, and the best pie in the world. ;)

We’re lucky enough to have couples that write the sweetest thank-you emails and letters after seeing their wedding photos we created, but there’s something about being invited back to document their lives year after year. Especially in Kim and Mike’s situation, when we don’t even live in the same state. I think that fills me with a level of gratitude I’ll never fully be able to express.

We so love that they brought us up to to document the latest chapter in their life- A move to Baltimore! We photographed them in their beautiful new home and Patterson Park, which happens to be quick walk away. Nate was in big dog heaven meeting their gorgeous greyhound, Caesar!

Kim, you’re beautiful.

Kim and Mike, thank you for being “lifers.” We can’t wait til the next chapter! And more pie! :)

Kim + Mike : Disney’s Boardwalk Inn Anniversary Session

April 3, 2013 by Jensey 2 Comments

Remember that time we photographed a wedding at the Brevard Zoo? (You can click here for a refresher!) That was the wedding of the lovely Kim and her Mike, and when she contacted us this year for an anniversary session around Walt Disney World’s Boardwalk Inn, I was so excited.

As I’ve mentioned on the blog recently, anniversary sessions are my new favorite. We’re in Florida so frequently for weddings that we’re able to schedule portrait sessions during our trips, and there’s just something wonderful about photographing and catching up with past couples that make me love this job even more. I love when couples not only hire us to document their happiest day, but also invite us into their lives for years to come. :)

I think this first one’s my favorite!

We’ve shot at the Boardwalk Inn so many times, and I love when we come across new spots. :)

Favorite. :)

Kim and Mike, thank you for letting us hang out again. Looking forward to seeing you for your second anniversary!! :)

Jes + Aaron : Coronado Springs Anniversary Session

March 11, 2013 by Jensey 4 Comments

Nate and I weren’t able to photograph Jes and Aaron’s Walt Disney World wedding due to Disney’s outside photography rules. Lucky for us, Jes remembered us and when they took their first anniversary visit to Walt Disney World, asked us to come do a session with them. Anniversary sessions are my new favorite. :)

The story of how Jes and Aaron met is one of my all time favorites- They actually met in the orientation line for their freshman year of college. They both stood there in embarrassment while their mothers chatted for what seemed like hours; Aaron’s mom told him he needed to find a nice girl like Jes with a good family like hers, and Jes’ mom told her the same about Aaron. A few months later their paths crossed again during a game of “hallway ball diving,” and they were smitten. Eight years and one adopted penguin later, here we are! :)

We photographed Jes and Aaron’s anniversary session around Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort, which is where they got ready on their wedding day. This photo was taken outside of the room Jes stayed in on her wedding day. :)
