Anniversary Glow

One year down, forever to go. What a fun way to celebrate a year of marriage— getting all dolled up in luxury bridal-wear from Elly’s Formalwear and standing together on the same ground vows were made exactly one year ago. Cheers to many more sweet and thoughtful anniversaries, Greg and Sirena!

Not only did Greg do an amazing job (with help from Darren Keala and Elly’s Formalwear) at creating the perfect anniversary celebration for Sirena and himself, he also gave her the most exquisite emerald and diamond ring as a token of his love. Now THAT is how you celebrate one year of marriage!

Sirena’s hands were adorned with all sorts of gorgeous bling (which I am a complete sucker for), but this pear-shaped emerald stone surrounded by tiny diamonds definitely stole the jewelry show.

It’s so magical how people weave into our lives, even just for an hour, and have the power to change our perspectives or paths. We all influence each other, big or small, over the course of a lifetime or simply for a moment. You can show up to a photoshoot, for example, with the simple intention of taking photos you hope the people will love and cherish, and you can leave with a greater understanding of people and places you may not have fully known about before.

After photographing these two at the temple where they were married, Sirena told me that growing up in Thailand she had always dreamed of wearing a beautiful wedding dress and being photographed, and just like that, I was a part of something bigger than I realized. I love that about life, every day and every moment can hold so much more magic and meaning than you expect or imagine.
