Memory Making: Anniversary Collages

 

Today’s post is long overdue, but I was behind on projects until last weekend! If you’ve been reading here long, you might remember that we love our anniversary tradition of recreating some of our wedding photos. We do it every year on our actual anniversary. It takes some time, and we usually get frustrated trying to get the pictures to come out perfectly (timers and tripods are simultaneous blessings and curses), but in the end, we love the way this tradition turns out.

            This year brought something new to our tradition. For the first time ever, we took all our pictures inside. The weather was not great, and we had such fabulous natural light in our Airbnb that we just used that space. We finished our project in half the time, and the exposed brick wall ended up looking beautiful as our backdrop!

            As usual, when we got home, I didn’t have time to make the collages. (They take so much longer now that each one has a dozen pictures!) Our frigid temps this past weekend gifted me extra time at home, and I finally had time to assemble the full collages.

            I love looking at each year’s pictures: what a wild mix of hair colors, temperatures, and scenery! We’ve frozen through some shoots. We’ve enjoyed sunshine and sweat in others! We’ve had some windy years mixed in there, too! Hope you enjoy the anniversary collages!
