Ever since I joined Pinterest I have become a mad stalker of gorgeous photography. I love looking at all of the pretty pictures of families, babies, engagements, weddings, and anniversary’s! Basically any occasion you can come up with for taking gorgeous professional pictures? I’m all for it!
When we got married last year we had wedding pictures, engagement pictures and proposal pictures! I made it very clear to my husband that proposal pictures were a must… I am not subtle and the man can take a hint!
So as you can probably assume I am so excited to have an excuse to take MORE pictures! That’s right our One Year Wedding Anniversary! Our actual anniversary is May 17th but if you’ve been following along you know that this anniversary is going to last all summer! I mean we already celebrated once when my hubby surprised me with a getaway weekend to Atlanta, tickets to Wicked and the most uncomfortable hotel bed ever.
However I have been planning to take one year anniversary pictures… well if we’re being honest since before we were married ;). I had planned to take them closer to our anniversary but a good friend of my mother’s is a professional photographer… and he offered to take them for free. This weekend. Yes please! He asked us what type of pictures we were looking for and I had just a bit *ahem* of inspiration pinned away… 😉
I can’t wait! My favorite part? Since we’re taking pictures with a friend of my mom’s we’ve decided to go crazy and take not just regular pictures but pictures with the dress! I am so excited I can hardly wait.
I first got the idea years ago when I saw the picture above somewhere online. It’s not a wedding photo… it’s a one year anniversary photo! The couple in the photo put on their wedding finery and had an intimate photo shoot in their backyard to celebrate their one year mark… my favorite part?! She gets to wear her dress again! Yup, we are sooooo doing that.
I honestly can’t wait! Our “photo shoot” is tomorrow and instead of sleeping I am awake (at 11:46 pm) writing this post… because I’m just to excited to sleep y’all!
Have any of you taken one year anniversary pictures in your wedding duds? Was it fabulous? Let me know!

I just got engaged and have already been stalking the Pinterest wedding boards – I’ve seen so many cute photo ideas that I just know we’re going to have to have anniversary photos too – such a cute ideas to do them in your dress too!!
Congratulations on getting engaged! I loved taking pictures for the wedding… I can’t wait to take our anniversary pictures!
Awww I love your ideas, think it is great that you are taking lots of picture to look back on! Congrats on your one year anniversary! <3
You’re such a sweetie! I am a big scrapbooker (or I am when I have the time! 🙂 ) So I love pictures!
I love all of these! So sweet, soft and romantic!
Haha! Sweet, soft and romantic is definitely a theme! I love that soft lighting kind of look… there is a gorgeous lake near us that we hike around so that’s where we’re taking our pictures… should be just what we’re looking for!
All of these photos are gorgeous! Congrats to your one year!!
Thanks for stopping by Olivia! They say year one is the hardest to get through… haha! Only forever left to go!
These are such fun ideas. I love the ones with the dress!
Me too! I keep threatening to take it out and wear it around the house… Now I have a legit excuse!
Aww I love the idea of first anniversary photos! I will need to keep that in the back of my mind for sure. I love that you got engagement photos right then, too! Thanks so much for linking up for our Wedding Wednesday this week.
Proposal pictures… the trick is to give them a different name, then you can completely justify why you need proposal pictures, engagement pictures, wedding pictures and one year anniversary pictures. Because let’s face it… any excuse for pictures is a good one! Haha! Thanks for stopping by Meg!
OH MY GOSH!!! Best idea ever to wear your wedding dress for the photos. I love this inspiration shots, I can’t wait to see yours!
You totally get me. I can tell. Any reason to wear THE dress again and again forever is completely legit… this may have to happen every year! Haha! Thanks for stopping by Macy! I will definitely share the pictures once I get them back! Eeek!
Your anniversary is so close! CONGRATS! As for one year anniversary pictures, I’m totally in. This is such a great idea, and you’ve found the cutest inspiration. I really love the “one year later” and “still happily ever after” ones. Enjoy!
Thanks Mary! I am SOOOO excited for May 17th… it’s almost here!!! Eeek! I loved those pictures too! The signs are so cute, plus they help you to know these are anniversary pictures and not wedding pictures! That’s important 😉
I really love the idea of putting your dress back on one year later too!! Who said it’s only to be worn once? Thank you so much for sharing all of this anniversary picture inspiration!
All of these photos are gorgeous! The idea of taking photos in the wedding dress for the 1 year anniversary is sweet and beautiful. The signs are also a very nice touch! 🙂 Thanks for sharing this unique and fun idea!
