Wednesday Nesting: Julie + Dan's anniversary shoot in Portland

With Monday having been my own two-year wedding anniversary, I thought it would be fun to share an anniversary shoot with you this week! And this relaxed session at a quaint cafe in Portland, Ore., comes across as perfectly uncontrived adorableness ... I can't help but imagine the same concept implemented at a Parisian streetside bistro ... Perhaps in the spring J&I should test out the theory ... seeing as we're just a short train ride away from the City of Light. ;o)

Enjoy the photos and scroll down for a little backstory and details on the shoot ...

  

... I've never been to Portland but these photos are so inviting they're making me want to pack my bags, grab a loved classic title and snuggle up with a photo-ready cup of coffee in this sweet little Caffe Autogrill, just like Julie and Dan. :o)

Here's a little from Portland-based photographer Sara Gray about the sweet shoot:
I wanted to send over an anniversary shoot I just wrapped up -- we styled it using a cute cafe, some pretty coffee drinks and a fun international-inspired print by Made by Girl -- I was inspired by the idea of a romantic morning over coffee at a neighborhood cafe, and how romantic that can be. The couple (Julie and Dan) have been married for almost five years and it's so fun to photograph married couples since they have such a comfortable familiarity.

Thanks Sara for sending over these darling photos and congrats to Julie and Dan on their anniversary! :o)
