10-Year Wedding Anniversary Photo Session with Natalia & Taras

For their 10-year wedding anniversary Natalia and Taras wanted to do something different. They had done your traditional sit-down family portrait session before. (You can see the photos from that session here.

So, we decided to go with something stylized, retro and make-belief, and played out a few fun skits. It takes a couple with a great sense of humor to pull off something like this, and Natalia and Taras did great! I think these photos came out quite nicely, but I will let you be the judges. As always, all comments are welcome!

Of course we had to have their daughter take part, as well! What a great little model she was!

As I was saying--a sense of humor is absolutely essential! But what fun!

Bridal Session with Dina & Jeff (Stanford Memorial Church)

On Sunday, Dina and Jeff donned their wedding attire that they never did get to wear some 4.5 years ago when they got married. Due to some unfortunate circumstances, they weren't able to have a real wedding or wedding photos for that matter. So with their 5 year anniversary coming up, they wanted to set things right and I was thrilled to help them. :-)

For our session we headed out to Stanford University and the Stanford Memorial Church. I was concerned as we were making our plans whether we would have enough different spots there for the entire session, but that was just because I had forgotten how beautiful the campus is. We had no trouble at all finding picturesque spots for our entire two-hour bridal session.

Without further ado, and without going on and on about how beautiful Dina is, because you are going to see for yourselves in just a second, I present to you some of my favorite photos from the session:

A man can dream, can't he?

Can you see the lipstick all over Jeff's face? I love it when a couple isn't afraid to get a little dirty and experiment for the sake of some great photos!

All cleaned up now. :-)

The unveiling of the bride may seem silly after almost 5 years of marriage...

... Or it may seem very romantic. :-)

And he whisks her off into the sunset. For real. We scheduled our session for the golden hour, as I usually try to do, and by 6:15 we were losing sunlight fast. The temperature was falling rapidly, too. So this is when we decided to call it quits and ran to our respective cars, semi-frozen but very satisfied with how the session went.

Happy upcoming 5 year anniversary, Dina & Jeff!

Until next time!
