Erin + Brendan : Anniversary Session at The Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise

July 27, 2016 by Jensey 3 Comments

It was a long shot, Erin thought. She and Brendan planned their 5 year anniversary trip to the beautiful Banff, Canada. Still, she reached out to see what the chances were of us doing an anniversary session with them during their trip.

Oh, and Brendan didn’t know- Our shoot would be Erin’s gift to him!

Well, wouldn’t you know, the stars aligned and we were already planning to be in nearby Seattle days before their visit, so we were actually able to make it happen. :)

Erin and Brendan got to the Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise after a long day of traveling, and we thought it would be best to get the surprise part out early so we didn’t have to worry about bumping into them around the hotel. Erin texted us every chance she could, telling Brendan that she was writing her parents. They grabbed a table for a late dinner, we headed down, and we will never, ever, ever, ever forget Brendan’s reaction when we showed up!!

The next morning was our session, and I’m so, so, so in love with these photos and this couple. Happy five, friends! <3

This one reminds me of one I took of Erin on their wedding day! <3

So many favorites. <3

I thought July seemed like a good time to post these while it’s miserably hot outside!!

Erin and Brendan, thank you for bringing us out to the most Christmas-y place I’ve ever been!! We love y’all!!! <3

Kim + Mike : Orlando, Florida Anniversary Session

Ohhhhh, our yearly sessions with these #rootlifers. <3

It’s hard to believe it’s almost been 5 years since these two were married! We photographed their engagement session at Ohio State, wedding at the Brevard Zoo, and anniversary sessions at Disney’s Boardwalk Inn and then their home in Baltimore. Our travel hasn’t matched up for a shoot with them for a while, but we’re always so thankful for their patience and persistence to make something work! We finally were able to match schedules and photograph last year’s anniversary session around the Art of Animation resort. :)

I love that Kim “Disney Bounded” as Ariel for the second part of their session! :)

Kim and Mike, we love you more than you know! Can’t wait to see what fun our next shoot brings! :)

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! :)
