The Medley Anniversary


Some moments are worth waiting for, and for Johnna and her family, this year’s wedding anniversary was the perfect time to create the photos they’d always dreamed of. Married years ago without the chance for professional wedding photos, Johnna had a heartfelt vision for their anniversary celebration: she wanted to wear her wedding dress once more, this time with her husband by her side and their two beautiful children included in the memories.

The family chose Panama City Beach as their destination for this meaningful occasion, and we planned their session for sunrise. The early morning provided the perfect combination of soft, golden light and empty beaches, creating a peaceful and romantic setting for their photos.

As the first rays of sunlight peeked over the horizon, Johnna stepped onto the sand in her stunning wedding dress, her husband in a sharp suit beside her. Their children, full of energy and excitement, added an extra layer of joy to the session. It was a beautiful blending of past and present: the dress symbolizing the start of their journey, and their kids embodying everything they’ve built together since.

Throughout the session, I made sure to capture the sweet and intimate moments between Johnna and her husband, as well as the fun, playful interactions with their children. From shared laughter and hugs to candid moments of the kids holding their mom’s train as it trailed across the sand, each photo told a story of love, growth, and togetherness.

Johnna’s husband and children were so attentive and supportive, making sure she felt special and celebrated during every part of the session. It was clear how much this meant to her and how much love this family shares. The connection between them was undeniable, and their joy was contagious.

This session wasn’t just about taking photos; it was about creating memories that will last a lifetime. It was an honor to capture these moments for Johnna and her family and to help bring her dream of wedding photos to life in such a unique and meaningful way.

If you’re celebrating a milestone or simply want to create unforgettable memories with your loved ones, a sunrise beach session might be the perfect way to do it. Let’s capture your story in a way that’s as beautiful and unique as your journey.
