Paul & Jessica // 2nd Anniversary

After 2 months of seeing my "i'm coming back soon i promise" post, I'm really really REALLY coming back this time. I'm going to begin with a really fun anniversary photo session from last weekend. Keep coming back, because I think I have a million photos to post from the past two months (the lack of posts is a sign of LOTS OF NEW PHOTOS COMING UP!)

This is Paul and Jessica (check out their blog by clicking here!),
my boyfriend's brother and sister-in-law.
Thank you Donny Hoover for the referral! :)

They have the coolest tradition: they plan to have professional photos taken every year for their anniversary. Isn't that rad? I think it will be so fun for them to look through all their photos when they're older.... especially photos like this:

We took a walk around where they live-- following the route they take when they take walks together.

this one, is so cute.

i love these next two! so real and fun.

now...this photo is kind of against the norm for me... i don't usually highlight the trees, i like to highlight the people. but. i like this one! it reminds me of the cover of a romance novel from the 90's.

adorable alert

FAVORITE!alert!

oooo. THE FISH FOUNTAIN.
can we run through that fountain?
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSS.

here they are at the end of their run! this fountain was really really really long, and just so everyone is aware: they did this in the MIDDLE of their session... and dried off during the rest of it. i love that kind of commitment.

next stop on the walk was the bamboo.
it was so cool! i wish every park had a bamboo patch

i'm forgetting if i asked them to close their eyes... if they did it on their own... or if they were blinking... but i think that this is a beautiful moment

next Paul brought out a little friend for us to meet

!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Jess and I collected bamboo and flowers to use for a photo of their rings. They never got one when they were married, so we did this little number, which i am officially in love with.

last one!
