Remember Danielle and Josh’s Big Sur River Inn Wedding with Disney details? I wrote a whole blog post about it here! These two reached out to me after their wedding for their Big Sur Anniversary portraits. I was so excited to revisit Big Sur with them again, this time as their anniversary portrait photographer. Little did I know they would have a surprise planned for me!

The Big Reveal

We all visited Big Sur for their portraits, particularly to capture Bixby Bridge in the background as well as images of them with their sweet miniature schnauzer! We played with different outfits, backgrounds, and poses. And then Danielle reached into her pocket and without saying a word, they dropped a sonogram between them for a photo!

I was so shocked!! I had no idea that she was pregnant, and I loved the opportunity to capture these pictures for them. Their dog wore a sweet bandanna that read, “My parents are getting me a human March 2020”. Easily one of the most amazing things I’ve ever photographed as an anniversary portrait photographer!

Wedding Album

While they surprised me with news of a baby to come, I also gifted them their completely custom wedding album the same day! It was a joy to be their anniversary portrait photographer and to work on this album design together. Album designs are one of my passions and being able to see their reaction was perfect. Their Big Sur anniversary portraits are just more memories to cherish!

I would love to be your local Big Sur anniversary portrait photographer! There is something so special about connecting with couples on their wedding day and then having the opportunity to connect again for their anniversary. Sometimes I follow couples for their first baby photoshoot, then later family photoshoots, too!
