365 is the number. Love is the measurement. 365 Days of Love that is. That’s what this sweet couple celebrated recently and I was privileged to document it.
Zach and Melissa’s love for each other is so clear. They met in Missouri in 2007 at a coffee shop and dated for a short time before their paths took separate turns. She headed overseas and he stayed put. About a year later, those paths reunited in Dallas, TX coincidentally…or maybe not so coincidentally because you see, they were meant to be. He proposed in 2010 and they married in 2011. Now, a year after they said their ‘I Do’s,’ they are still celebrating their love.
Wanting to keep track of all their adventures together in the years to come, they decided to do an anniversary shoot each year that commemorated something special about that particular year of marriage. Yep, LOVE that! When they contacted me with the idea I was more than onboard. We met early in the morning to escape the summer heat and had such a blast! Since this was their first year together, their first apartment was particularly special so we made that our location. Being a sentimental addict, I loved this idea. We spent the morning doing things they enjoy doing together and simply celebrating their first 365 days of love.
Enjoy some of my favorites from the shoot!
Happy Friday!
Melissa made these awesome little flags and got Sprinkles Cupcakes which are to die for. Really.
There are some great walking trails around their apartment and they love taking walks together. It made for a beautiful first spot.

Melissa…you are beautiful.
If you are planning a wedding this is a fabulous idea. They had their wedding guests write them a card at the wedding for them to open on their 1 year anniversary. What a fun idea!
Yeah, this light was too good to be true.
Favorite.

They love to cook together so we headed to their kitchen and did some early morning baking. SO fun.
They also love to drink coffee so these were a fun gift. Seriously awesome mugs.
We then headed out to the porch to take some pics with this cute sign. Love it.
Love and coffee. Can it get better?
They both also love to read together which I greatly admire. I need to read more…
Yep, another fav. The light made me get really giddy. If you are a past client, you know what that looks like!
Married! And loving it!
With the summer sun coming up in full blaze, they were troopers and headed out for just a few more. Love this tree.
ONE YEAR!!! I told them they needed to close every anniversary shoot incorporating something that represented the year they were celebrating. This one was easy. 25 may be a little more difficult!
