For our first anniversary last October, we hired a local photographer
friend of ours to do a photo shoot of us. I wanted some
outdoor-in-a-field-type photos that we choose not to do on the day of
our wedding in October 2009. We just didn't have time then because of
the heavy DIY aspect of the wedding, and the weather was rather cold
anyways. We had intended to do some in the week or so after the wedding,
but then the snow came and stuck around forever, so we decided to just
wait until the snow melted. After spring came, we procrastinated and
then it got too hot, so we decided to wait until around our anniversary.
October came and we finally did it (because, you know, it was getting
rather ridiculous.) We did photos in our normal clothes too, since I
wanted the photos to reflect our marriage and day-to-day selves, not
just some random shots I wanted of
us-in-variations-of-our-wedding-clothes-in-a-field.
We
surprised ourselves by how much fun we had in front of the camera, and
we have discussed taking photos as an anniversary tradition. We will
probably DIY it this coming year with a tripod and timer, but maybe get
professional ones done every few years?
