As we wrap up the last few days of August/ last Wednesday of August today on the 28th, we’d love to share with you some throwback August Wedding Anniversaries! Last Wednesday was actually our Anniversary as well with it being our 6th August 21st together, but we didn’t want to mention that amidst a Family Portrait Session about a 50th Anniversary last Wednesday! We figured that this Wednesday since we’ve both been photographing weddings for 10 years we’d throw it back to some very long ago weddings that we photographed 8 & 9 years ago with weddings captured from literally Ohio to California!
Earlier this month Kevin & Aani celebrated their 9 Year Wedding Anniversary on August 7th! These two were wed back in 2010 and are almost a month into their 10th year of marriage now! Originally wed in Ohio in downtown Columbus, Ohio, these two now reside in New York city after an amazing journey through their careers! Jenny knows Kevin from when he played with a band of Jenny’s friends in Columbus, Ohio and Aani is also deeply into music performance as well. On their wedding day with music being so important in their lives (having met during their college music degrees) Aani’s sisters and their loved ones performed musically at the church during their ceremony. During their reception afterward Aani even performed a operatic song for Kevin with him seated facing her & they then had his band MojoFlo play as well!
Since being wed 9 years ago as of August 7th, these two moved first to Illinois so that Aani could get an additional degree in music: a Music Masters in Vocal Perfomance and Literature. After her degree these two moved to Virginia and have since moved to NYC. They both continue to perform music (Aani a soprano singer and Kevin an instrumentalist) and Kevin is at his 3rd school as a recording engineer (at the prestigious Manhattan School of Music). Congratulations you two on a successful 9 years of marriage and a great start into your 10th year!
Next up are Adrianna & Eric! These two were wed on August 12th, 2011 in Lancaster, California a whopping 8 years ago! Their wedding day was a smaller ceremony at The Elegant Affairs event space. Both the ceremony and reception were held in the wedding area behind the main reception hall which includes a bridal prep suite as well as a small grass seating area and gazebo. The ceremony was somewhat small and featured the closer family and friends of the bride and groom, with more guests coming to attend the reception. The day mainly consisted of capturing candid photos of the events, but we did take a little time to capture a few traditional portraits and family/group photos. These two have continued to be happily married and have gone on to raise two children together, still residing in Quartz Hill, CA.
Just a couple days ago Emily & Justin also celebrated 8 years of being married and are onto their 9th year of marriage! These two were wed on August 26th, 2011 in Ohio and have been together for a whopping 14 years (since they were together for 6 years before they were wed)! On their wedding day these two enjoyed group photos outside by a pond’s gazebo (including their daughter) before their indoor wedding and reception! This was the 3rd wedding in the Sears family that Jenny had the honor of being at (one of two that she captured for the Sears family within 2 years) within a short 2 year period, so it was great getting to know the family even better and seeing them all again for Emily’s wedding! Emily & Justin still live in Ohio & have 2 kids. Post successful LulaRoe business, Emily has since graduated this year with her AA degree as a Radiology Tech (at a school in Dayton), now works at a medical center with her expertise, AND she runs her own successful custom cookie & dessert business down near Cincinnati, Ohio (in Maineville)! Justin has been consistently working his way up in his field at T-Mobile for the past 7 years and these two are still doing well happily married to this day!
Thanks for checking out these throwback August Wedding Anniversaries and congratulations on almost a decade of being married, all of you! It’s crazy to think of how far we’ve come physically and photographically since this time nearly 10 years ago and we’re so happy that our couples’ relationships have stood the test of time. We love seeing everyone grow within their relationships and also as individuals as their homes and families expand through the years!
————— Unrelated: Coming up next week we’ll be sharing a bit of what’s been going on in our personal lives from our personal anniversary just last week, our recent 2 trips to California, Jenny’s birthday coming up next week, and the next 2 huge wedding trips that we’ll be embarking on in September/ this month! We haven’t done a personal blog post in a little while, so we figured it was as good a time as any to share some of the goings on in our lives currently as we continue to photograph, edit, and print photos for all of our current 2019 weddings & family portraiture! Catch you next Weekly Wednesday!
