Real Love 46th Wedding Anniversary Shoot

February 14, 2017 by lisa

Happy Valentine’s Day lovers! On this Valentine’s Day we’ve decided to share a session from Ben Yew via The Bridal Theory. This is real love ~ an anniversary shoot of an older couple celebrating their 46th wedding anniversary. A testament to everlasting love. Fresh faced brides and grooms just starting out on their journey together is who we normally blog about. This session is so dreamy, authentic and light-filled, we just knew it’d be perfect for Valentine’s Day. Scroll down and be inspired!
