Rubén + Fernando pulled together a rainbow of color to celebrate their 10th Anniversary and the results? PURE MAGIC. When they began to plan the day, they knew they wanted to make something unique, surprising and wow-worthy. R + F, who own an event planning company called El Mono con Sombrero, put together a night inspired by the Pantone color wheel. With sparkling lighting, fun attire, a live tattoo artist, cake and ice cream, their celebration at Costa da Morte, Spain is one for the books!

A 10-year anniversary is truly something to celebrate and for Tina + Brian, a cute little greenhouse in the woods was the way to do it!

From their 5-year anniversary vow renewal to Tina’s adorable baby shower, to their sweet Mila’s boba-inspired birthday party! And now, for the next chapter! A rather enchanting celebration with friends in a glass greenhouse tucked away in the woods. Swoon. Here’s what Tina told us about the inspiration:

While we may *LOVE* weddings here at GWS—the romance definitely does not end after the big day…in fact, we wholeheartedly believe that you should keep dating your partner + growing together, each and every day of married life. Ashley, of Everyday Pursuits, definitely agrees with us on this concept and wanted to celebrate her special anniversary with her husband, Andy, so the two of them headed to Solaz Hotel in Los Cabos, Mexico!

This wasn’t just any anniversary session…Des + Ben are the proud owners of eight alpacas—so naturally, their furry friends had to be included! Taking inspiration from the earth, Natashia Nicole Photography crafted a neutral palette with a boho vibe to complement the scenery (and the alpacas!).

Ready for one of the most unique anniversary sessions we’ve ever seen? We believe the celebrations don’t have to end after the wedding. There’s *plenty* to celebrate after years of love, affection, arguments, LIFE, and everything that comes with spending years with your person. And the fun thing about marking anniversaries—whether it be a trip, a date, or a photo session—is that it’s an opportunity to go wildly outside-the-box. Enter Jordie + Trent, a creative couple from Nashville who found themselves in a dreamy. otherworldly location thanks to their photographer, Kaley from Kansas:

Do you dream of road tripping up the coast of California? Perhaps stopping in Carmel, camping in Big Sur, and making your way up to San Francisco? Making that dream a reality by turning it into a love story editorial, Lanie of Lovely Bride invited Kari + Dylan to help her create an adventurous + free-spirited photoshoot, capturing their epic love. Lanie shares: We’ve done a number of ‘Give Love Stories,’ where we gift couples a shoot in one of our many locations across the country and have them play ‘dress up’ in our gowns. How special is that?!

Holy smokes, holy smokes, holy smokes — we cannot get over that INCREDIBLE photo from Taft Point in Yosemite National Park. Dreamy, right? We totally + completely understand why Mary + Mike wanted to do a day-after-wedding session in Yosemite (they toyed with the idea of getting married here, too.). In case the names Mary + Mike ring a bell, that’s probably because we recently shared their Colorful California Wedding on the site, in two parts: here + here!

The holiday season is upon us and here at GWS, we couldn’t be more excited! The shorter days lead to chilly nights, perfect for candlelit dinners and cuddling up – and plenty of inspiration from all the magical events that transpire. Which brings us to today’s gorgeous couple, Farren + Aaron. Several years into marriage and four children later, they decided to celebrate with a dreamy anniversary session complete with a sparkling dress, brilliant colors, and a horse named (what else?) Whiskey.

We’ve said it time and time again, and we’re going to keep reiterating it — we LOVE anniversary sessions + we think they are so important! As your love changes and grows, it takes on a new life and new memories are formed. We wholeheartedly believe it’s important to capture your love through all of its seasons, documenting those periods to look back and reflect on.

How does a sweet love story and round up of super-cute summery photos sound to start off your Friday? Magi + Scott have been together for several years, and photographer, Lauren Fair, calls them, “pretty much the coolest couple ever.” Yep, we can see that! Scott runs a surf brand and Magi is a talented surf + wedding photographer herself, so it was only natural to incorporate their loves into a summer photo session!

Today’s love shoot offers plenty of inspiration for the adventurous couple! Taylor, Skye, and their photographer, Dawn, arrived at Arches National Park in Utah just as first light appeared. We LOVE seeing engagement photos, elopements, and even weddings take place at national parks. So many opportunities for breathtaking photos against nature’s most beautiful colors! And we can hardly imagine anything more romantic than celebrating your love with such epic landscapes as your backdrop!

We’ve said it time and time again, but we truly mean it — it’s important to capture your love through all of its seasons!

Have you seen Little People, Big World? If so, it’s likely you already know who this dynamic duo is! Audrey + Jeremy Roloff got married a couple of years ago — in fact, we shared their anniversary photos here! Since then, they’ve been seeking to inspire couples to keep their marriage strong + constantly work at it through their site — Beating 50 Percent. Audrey tells us, during our engagement we were bombarded with remarks from people who rolled their eyes and spouted sarcastic, “good luck,” remarks at our future promise. We were shocked at the negative comments regarding marriage… So we’ve made it our mission to inspire others through our blog Beating 50 Percent.

Jenika + Chadwick said their I Do’s five years ago… And not a day’s gone by where they don’t celebrate their love. We here at GWS, think that’s exactly how it should be! On their wedding day, they made a pact to celebrate their five year anniversary, no matter what! So even amidst all the hustle and bustle of daily life, home projects, work, and more — they planned one incredible anniversary celebration at Luce Loft in just under a month!

Did you see Kristen + Daemaine’s ‘Burgundy + Cream Rustic Chic Wedding in Texas’ this morning? In case you missed it, be sure to check out all the rustic goodness + then pop back here! Then you’ll know that the couple dreamt of getting married abroad… But a dreamy destination wedding just wasn’t in the cards, as many of their family members wouldn’t be able to attend a wedding that far away. However, that didn’t stop this couple from having their dream photoshoot in Barcelona! After the wedding, they decided to bring along their photographer friend, Jordan Voth, to capture some destination elopement-inspired images while they honeymooned in Spain.

Alaska is made up of rugged terrain, and it shifts year-round from light to complete darkness. Its features are expansive and beautiful, with its snow-capped mountains and lush forests… The seasons come and go, freezing the land over, but then making it fertile and letting it grow abundantly. For Kelly + Ben, Alaska represents all the parts of a relationship – the good and the not so good, and the beauty that comes with it.

Madison, Cees and their kitten, Vladimir, have been living life in an RV for the last year – with the goal of hitting every single national park in the United States (SO AWESOME!!) The adventurous couple has been married two years and in celebration of their anniversary, they met up with photographer, Katch Silva, in Death Valley National Park. She captured them in their daily life: cooking, walking the kitten, relaxing together and watching the sunset from the roof of their RV.

SO, SO SWEET!

You’ve heard us say it before, but we’ll say it again, we think it’s so, so important to keep on documenting your love, even after the big day has passed! So it should come as no surprise that we’re big fans of this absolutely stunning engagement session, captured by the ever-amazing India Earl! India backs up our love of remembering your journey + adventures through the years by adding, I’ve found, as a photographer, that there’s so much more to anniversary shoots than other shoots I’ve done. There’s that level of comfort and trust between the two of them, which really helps bring out both the romantic and goofy sides of the couple! I had shot Celeste and Andrew’s wedding last year (see their gorgeous wedding portraits here!!), and this year they wanted to celebrate their one year anniversary with a road trip through the desert for an anniversary session. The day after their one year mark, they woke up at 3 in the morning to meet me in the middle of the desert out near Page, Arizona. We spontaneously chose locations, pulling over wherever the light was beautiful…

That morning light though!

What do you say we continue this Thursday on a totally gorgeous, exotic note in the picturesque sand dunes of Morocco? Yep. We knew it wouldn’t take much to convince you! Married duo, Tanja + Felix Kibogo, are the talent (and beauty!) behind Kibogophotography and we’re pret-ty glad that we get to share their debut in front of the camera today on GWS via their gorge anniversary session captured by Irene Fiedler! As you’ll see in just a sec, these photos are about as dreamy as can be, but what really sparked T + F’s interest in doing a shoot in the desert was to capture a video of the two of them together. That’s where Marco Dück Films comes in, and you can see his gorgeous work in the film at the end of the post, so don’t miss that! But first Tanja shares a bit more about her anniversary session ideas with us:
