Rustic Anniversary Session
How incredibly cute are these two?! Celebrating one year of wedded bliss, we've got the sweetest anniversary session to share and every single detail is total #marriagegoals. See it all captured by Jasmine Lee Photography in The Vault!
From the Bride...Zak and I went to the same dances in elementary school, became friends in high school, and finally began dating after college. It has been a long time coming! After graduating, we both moved to San Francisco, where we started our relationship. Two years later, we were off to France and Italy for our first big adventure together. As they say, if you want to know if you are compatible, set off to travel the world and see if you come back together. We must have aced the test, since on that trip, Zak proposed on the rooftop of Hotel Hassler in Rome, Italy. We stayed true to the proposal's Italian-roots by having our wedding at Trentadue Winery in Sonoma County. It was the most incredible day celebrating with our family and friends. We could not have imagined a more amazing start to our marriage, and it has continued to grow even better since that day.
Of course, like any bride, one of the most exciting parts of planning our big day was finding the perfect dress. Not only did I find my ideal gown, but I found my dream designer in Mira Zwillinger. Her designs are ethereal and stunning, and her team is more than willing to customize any gown to fit the bride's vision. I liked different pieces from three of her gowns, so Mira's team worked their magic and made my dream dress a reality.
On our wedding day, we were having so much fun, it felt like the day was over in a blink. A year later, we thought it would be fun to relive our wedding bliss through an anniversary shoot. Also, we were excited to be more adventurous than on our wedding day, since staying clean was not a priority. During our anniversary shoot, we were completely carefree while dragging my gown and his suit on dirt paths, climbing up hilltops, and even lying down in grassy fields. If you are debating a post-wedding or anniversary shoot...do it!
The location and rustic theme of the shoot was inspired by Jasmine! I came across Jasmine's work on SMP and was instantly drawn to her style of photography. She even suggested the beautiful bouquet from Twigss. Zak and I had a blast working with Jasmine and Christina (of Makeup by Quis). The day was filled with the four of us joking and laughing. Jasmine was great at giving us direction and making us feel comfortable throughout the shoot. Also, if you have not looked through the gallery yet, she made us look fantastic. Overall, it was another amazing day in our wedding attire, and we could not be happier with the results. Thanks, Jasmine and Christina!
