When Shanda & Stephen eloped 26 years ago, they didn’t give a lot of thought to photos. Throughout the years, they wished they photos they were happier with to look back on. So for their Silver 25th year anniversary, they decided to have a vow renewal and party to celebrate and get the photos they always wanted. Well unfortunately Covid had other plans and after much deliberation, they decided to cancel their party. However, they were still determined to commemorate in some way and get photos.

They chose their children as their bridal party and we had an incredible day! We started off at their home in Fair Haven and got to know their family as they got ready. We were able to capture some incredible images of them getting into their “wedding” attire. Shanda and Stephen did a first look in their yard and it was the sweetest thing ever. We love how in love these two are even after 26 years of marriage! We got some great portraits of them in their yard before heading to Asbury Park for the rest of the day. We spent some time getting family portraits and then focused on our couple for a bit. They brought all the romance to these photos and we seriously can’t get over them! Our final stop was the boardwalk and Convention Hall. We had a lot of fun with the whole family and we are so honored to have been a part of this special day for them. Here’s to another 26 years of love and joy!
