Your love will last a lifetime and there’s so much more of your story to tell with Ryan Richardson Photography. A couple celebrates their wedding anniversary at Searles Castle in New Hampshire - Photo by Ryan Richardson Photography
Your love story doesn’t end on your wedding day, it grows and evolves every day because “happily ever after” is a verb. So why not continue to tell that love story through photos with an anniversary session with your favorite Boston wedding photographer? It can be a fun opportunity to reconnect and refocus on your relationship in a fun and creative way. I’ve put together a collection of ideas and inspiration to get you thinking beyond just the wedding day and how photography can be an inspiration in the rest of your lives together.
Recapture Moments: Recreating photos can be a fun and creative way to reconnect with the past and see how you have grown and changed in the intervening years. During your anniversary session you can try to recreate certain moments like your first dance, or recreate poses from some of your very favorite photos. You could also use your session to go beyond the wedding and recreate other moments from your lives together: the first time you met, your first date, or the moment when you proposed and they said “yes.”
Do Over: Maybe you didn’t book with the right Boston wedding photographer the first time (after all, I only have so many dates available) and want to get the moments and the photos you deserve? Or sometimes you just want to imagine what if your wedding day was a little different - like if you went to the beach rather than a hotel ballroom, or a rustic setting versus your chic and modern wedding day. Why not recreate the wedding photos of your dreams on your anniversary?
Have Fun: One of my favorite couples ever goes back to their wedding venue every year for a cosplay photoshoot - to celebrate their relationship and their hobbies together. It’s always exciting to see what they’ve come up with and try to capture that energy while doing something new. An anniversary session isn’t just about weddings, it’s about celebrating the relationship that the two of you have created together and it should be as unique as you. After all, these photos are about celebrating your love story and not just about the wedding day, so there are no limits.
Have a Great Anniversary Date: Scheduling an anniversary session with your favorite Boston wedding photographer can also help you set the stage for having a special and memorable anniversary. Getting your photos taken is a great excuse to get dressed to the nines and looking perfectly polished, and maybe you can arrange to have a few fun surprises for your partner along the way: someone delivers them flowers, a violin soloist serenades you, or some other grand romantic gesture that reaffirms the love that you still feel after all the years. Create new and exciting moments that build on your relationship and that you’ll be able to appreciate in the years to come.
