Yev + Marta | 15 Year Wedding Anniversary

August 27, 2025  •  Leave a Comment
16 years ago when Yev met me, he had no idea what kind of crazy ideas I would have. For example, I will suggest doing an anniversary photo shoot on one of the hottest days in the summer. To be fair, we did get married in the summer, so it just makes sense to do the pictures then. Regardless, we love going back every 5 years to where we took our wed...
