Alf & Kelly | 10 Year Anniversary Session

Alf and Kelly will be celebrating their 10th wedding anniversary in December.  Being that December is pretty dark, they wanted to have a family/couple session in the fall.  After MANY days of having to reschedule (due to weather), we finally had a beautiful day over the Thanksgiving weekend.  They had decided on doing it at Lighthouse Park which is such a gorgeous location.   It is also a very special place to them as Kelly grew up going there with her family on Sunday afternoons and also, it is where Alf and Kelly went on their first date!

Kelly is also a photographer which is awesome because we often talk `shop'.  We also have kids of similar ages which is always fun.  I think it's so great that they celebrated their anniversary with a photo session and Kelly even wore her wedding dress for some photos!  It still fits and is even too big?!  Wow. The bouquet was tied with the ribbon from their original wedding bouquet.

We did the first part with the kids and then Kelly's family was able to watch them while we hiked to another point.  I definitely got a work out in so it's good thing I love the outdoors:)  It is obvious the love, gentleness and respect that they have for one another which I really admire.  I caught a ride with them too, there and back, so it was a lot of time for me to see the lovely family dynamic they have going on.  

Enjoy.
{The one below is one of my favourites.  It was soooo bright but her brother helped by holding the reflector and it worked perfectly.}
Did you notice the hummingbird in that last photo?  Such a fun session.  Congratulations you two!
Love, Louise

35th Wedding Anniversary | Lighthouse Park

Elly (in the purple below) contacted me almost a year ago to set a date for their family photos this summer and I'm so glad she did! Her mom and dad, Liz and Art, celebrated their 35th wedding anniversary this July and this is their gift to them. I love when kids do that for their parents!

I had never been to Lighthouse Park and I have to say that I LOVED it! Why did they choose this location? This is where Art proposed to Liz! It was a gorgeous evening and we spent time just laughing and reminiscing (I taught Elly) and getting to know each other. Congratulations on your anniversary and it was so great to get to know you all! I hope you had a wonderful picnic afterwards!
