Alan & Tess: 5 years.

As Promised I have posted a lot more photos from Alan & Tess's portrait session and their renewal of vows ceremony. I went a little overboard picking out photos because there were so many that I liked! I also really really like B&W and Sepia tinted photos so I decided to change a lot over. Of course I left the originals in color so Alan & Tess could decide for themselves, but the blog is for my favorites and I LOVE how they look this way. I will post photos from Jenny & Josh's wedding tomorrow!

Story about photos:
Alan is Isaac's brother and Tess is his wife. They got married on April 19th of 2003 while Alan and Isaac were on leave from being activated with the ARMY. They wanted to renew their vows since so much has changed in their lives in the past 5 years. The two of them inspire Isaac and I to love each other everyday. They have an amazing 3 1/2 year old son Michael. He is the life of the party! Last year Alan and Tess bought 2 acres of land next door to the house Isaac's family grew up in. They are planning on clearing out the land and eventually building a house on the property. The land means so much to the entire family because that is where Alan, Isaac, and their sister Erin would go play when they were kids.
I wanted to do something special for their 5 year anniversary so together we came up with the idea to go take photos on their land in Volney. They bought a new tractor last week so I thought it would be fun to bring that along. These photos are just a few of the many great photos that I took during our session. It was during the quiet times of the session, with just the 2 of them and the 2 of us, that we really got to witness the love Alan & Tess have for each other. I hope these photos, in addition to the ones I posted yesterday, help tell the story of their love... and their sense of humor.
