This wasn’t just any old anniversary party…Des and Ben are the proud owners of eight alpacas, so their four-legged friends had to be included! Using the earth as inspiration, Natashia Nicole Photography created a neutral palette with a boho vibe to complement the scenery (and the alpacas!).
She explains that their alpacas live on their property, and Des and Ben treat them as if they were their children. Des even makes her own products out of the alpaca fiber she collects. They wanted a few of their pets to be in their anniversary photos…and the florist agreed and made wreaths for two of them to wear! Everything blended together and felt natural, which is exactly what we wanted.
Ready for ALL the cuteness? Let’s take a walk through the woods:
The Ones Who Stole the Show
How adorable are these two? We adore Des’ Elizabeth Dye gown and how it complemented the woods in both color and texture.
Des Schrage of Lash Doll Aesthetics gave Des days of effortless waves.
Very cute!! A copper arch was created for this, and we love how seamlessly it blends into the environment while also being the perfect way to frame the space when you focus on it.
A snuggle sesh with a furry friend? Yes, please!!
The Florals
Inspired by Nature created an extremely textured bouquet of dahlias, ranunculus, and tons of greenery for the florals.
Can’t get over the wreath that matches the floral crown!
The Tablescape
The table was set with scripted pieces from Seniman Calligraphy and gold accents to add a luxe touch.
I just can’t stop staring!
D+B, Happy anniversary!! Now, what elements do you want to include in an anniversary session? Perhaps your pets, a favorite campsite, a camping spot, or a local diner? We’d love to hear your thoughts in the comments section below!
