An In-Home Couples Photography Session, celebrating 28 years of marriage: Amanda and Peter


I love it so much when photography crosses over into my own life so it was so fulfilling to capture these images of Amanda and Peter (my partner Joe’s parents) in a way which felt authentic to them. 


We began with sudoku, a favourite pastime of theirs, then we looked through old family photos. Seeing tiny Joe in their photos was really cute!!

They were a little nervous to be photographed, it can feel quite intimidating to have a camera on you so I suggested they put on a song that felt meaningful to them.


They chose Time in a Bottle by Jim Croce and the magic just happened.

A Message from the Couple…


"They are amazing...got to the garden ones before shedding a tear and then we had big smiles so it's been a whole range of emotions! Massive thank you liv, it's a really amazing gift and so generous to give up all your time...such a talent!" - Amanda + Peter, 2024


These images were part of a gallery I sent to them as their Christmas present from me. 🤍

These photos are a reminder that couples sessions aren’t just for newly engaged couples.


Everyone is welcome. If you’d like your grandparents or parents to be photographed like this, please get in touch and we can book a session for them.
