Anniversary

This weekend is our first wedding anniversary. We got dressed up and went out to an amazing restaurant to celebrate but first, we put the camera on the little tripod and took photos with the self-timer!

I like this one because it shows all the mess of our house in the background - from the recent move - and that makes it much more of an environmental portrait - placing us in this time/place in our lives as well as just photographing us. It has "first year of marriage" written all over it. Also, to me, it has an old-fashioned snapshot portrait look to it like old photographs I have seen of my great aunts and uncles from the 30's and 40's.
