We can’t help but smile as we go through these images again. The first time we meet Lorene and Duane was in a small Dunkin Donuts in Western, PA. We talked about how they had just got engaged, and about their lives and their plans. We laughed and we instantly felt like we had found friends. That was over a year and a half ago, and in the time that has passed we have since captured their engagement photos, wedding day, and now their ONE year anniversary photos!

We love how this job has allowed us to connect with people throughout the many sessions of their lives. It’s beautiful to watch a couple’s relationship go from fiancees to husband and wife. Lorene & Duane choose to have their anniversary photos taken at Phipps Conservatory in Pittsburgh, and it was absolutely incredible! The gardens there are so lust and colorful. Lorene & Duane even braved the  chilly rain for the several of these images (aren’t they amazing!) Who says that rain has to ruin a photos sessions?!? Thanks Lorene & Duane for being so flexible and just having so much FUN with us! You two are the best! May the year(s) to come be filled with much laughter and grace. P.S. Thanks for aiding me in my attempt to convince Hugo that sushi is amazingly delicious. We’ll get to him one day!

Happy Tuesday!
