Weekly Wrap Up + Winners
We can’t think of any better way to celebrate the warm weather we’ve been having than with this amazing anniversary shoot from Carolyn Scott. This happy couple has been married for four years and took the inspiration of one of our favorite days, Valentine’s Day, to put together this darling shoot jam-packed with sweetness. How much do you love her hand-painted heart tights?
From the photographer, Carolyn Scott: Kim and Joe were married 4 years ago and decided to celebrate their anniversary by recreating their wedding portraits, accompanying by some DIY crafts. π Kim hand-painted her tights and wore her old wedding dress. She also made all of the doilie garlands, yarn balls, and a whole host of other props for this styled shoot. Kim’s a mom who’s starting her photography business, and Joe is in the army. They wanted a shoot that would show their personalities and have a cute Valentine’s theme, which they accomplished beautifully!
