3 Reasons to Do an Anniversary Portrait Session

Stefanie + Rob have been married 13 years and wanted to commemorate their anniversary with a photo session. We chose a Monday evening in June in downtown Champaign which worked out perfectly. We had beautiful weather, a gorgeous sunset, a super fun couple, and didn’t have to dodge too many diners or passersby. I highly recommend getting dressed up and documenting a milestone in your relationship!

Here are three reasons why doing an anniversary photo session can be a great idea:

  1. Celebrate and Capture Milestones: An anniversary photo session allows you to commemorate your journey together as a couple. It's a special way to mark milestones, whether it's your first year together or a significant anniversary like your tenth or twentieth. These photos serve as a visual reminder of your love story and how far you've come.

  2. Create Lasting Memories: Professional photographs capture moments in time that you can cherish forever. Unlike everyday snapshots, these images are often beautifully composed and edited, making them ideal for displaying in your home, sharing with loved ones, or even creating a photo album. They freeze moments of happiness and love that you can look back on fondly.

  3. Quality Time Together: Planning and participating in a photo session can be a fun and intimate experience for you as a couple. It's an opportunity to spend quality time together away from daily routines, reconnect, and enjoy each other's company. The process of choosing locations, outfits, and poses can also be a bonding activity that strengthens your relationship.

Overall, an anniversary photo session is not just about taking pictures; it's about celebrating your love, creating memories, and enjoying each other's presence in a meaningful way.
