This editorial shoot was inspired by a real life newlywed couple making a special trip out onto the family farm to pick out their first Christmas tree. One of the best parts of being a newlywed couple is beginning to create your own traditions as a new family, and what better one to begin with than selecting their first Christmas tree for their new home!
This couple chose to make a special memory out of their first milestone, complete with hot chocolate, a mini-decorating party and a gift exchange in the woods. Documenting it for years to come and sharing it later. Photographed by Ryan Ray and designed by Lavender Joy. You can see more pretty pictures in the full gallery here.
