Classic Wedding Anniversary Shoot With Pops of Color at The Rift Bowral

We receive inspiration shoots and engagements shoots every day but it's not every day that we get an anniversary shoot! But when we do...they certainly do not disappoint! When the Mr. and Mrs. reached out to We Are Origami to set up an anniversary photo session, they jumped at the chance to photograph this stunning couple at the ever so beautiful Rift Bowral in Australia, which offers lush gardens at every turn. It is safe to say we are a big fan of anniversary shoots....I mean who doesn't love the chance to wear your wedding gown(s) a second time! Check out the entire dreamy photo session here and the multiple jaw-dropping dresses!

From We Are Origami...When Jennifer and David reached out to me to do their wedding anniversary photos at the beautiful The Rift Bowral venue, I was so stoked! The Rift is a grand Victorian Italianate mansion and historic gardens in Bowral, Australia. The house is an original 'gentlemen's residence' constructed in the late nineteenth century.

Nestled in the Southern Highlands, a leisurely 90-minute drive from Sydney, The Rift is surrounded by established cold-climate gardens and the lush, rambling countryside. The estate's original stables were converted into accommodations which made for stunning photo opportunities for every outfit change both inside and out.

Jen had a few amazing dresses from her big day that she wanted to wear again (who wouldn't want to wear these gorgeous gowns again?) and we thought this was the perfect opportunity at this majestic venue. Things are usually so frantic on the big day that generally the portrait section on the actual wedding day would be the first to be cut short! Having photos like these, after the fact are a nice way to still get those images and relive that beautiful day all over again.
