Cheers to one year!
When Lexi & Isaac reached out about doing an anniversary session at Spring Lake Beach down the shore in New Jersey, I of course said...of course!! They packed up their wedding dress and suit and made the trip down, ready to celebrate. I've been capturing milestones for Lexi & Isaac since they were engaged and enjoyed capturing their wedding last year. And now this?? What a gift to witness and document that same joy one year later.
This session was pure MAGIC.
The waves? EPIC 🌊
The sun? GOLDEN ☀️
Lexi and Isaac? GLOWING ✨
Seeing one of my couples slip back into their wedding attire to celebrate their anniversary was such an incredible experience. I had an absolute blast capturing them splashing in the waves, chasing seagulls along the shore, twirling, hugging, kissing—and simply soaking in their life and love together.
"I love our engagement photos, our wedding photos, the photos from when Isaac proposed. But I really love these photos. This is us. Dancing in the ocean. Running through the sand. Laughing mid kiss. Forgetting about the stress of day-to-day life and just living in the moment with our favorite person. Thank you thank you thank you Danielle Marie for letting me throw my wedding dress on one more time and capturing these photos that are just so ~us~."
One thing I can confidently say about Lexi and Isaac is that, over the years of knowing them and documenting their story, I’ve witnessed such a deep, genuine love between them. From the excitement during their engagement session, to the emotion of their wedding day, to the pure joy I saw capturing them now, one year later—it all speaks to a love that’s truly rooted and enduring.
Marriage can be heavy. It can be challenging. But I truly believe that finding ways to laugh, play, and adventure with your partner is what keeps the joy alive and helps you navigate even the messiest parts of life. I’m so grateful to know these two and to be continually inspired by the joy and love that they share with the world!
