I've also tried to include links to my blog posts in most of the descriptions, so that you can see more photos. As always, for more general info please click here - darcytroutmanphotography.com

At age 66, there's a lot about my former marriage I look back and regret. Among other things, I wish we could have afforded a big and splashy wedding, complete with bridesmaids.

Finding the perfect anniversary gift can be difficult. Here are a few niche ideas, traditional to modern themed, to solve indecision—Or spark some unique ideas, at the very least
In 2025, wedding themes are trending toward personalization, immersive experiences, and intentional design, reflecting the way couples want their celebrations to feel as unique as their love stories. Themes like celestial, Regency romance, and fairy-tale fantasy tap into the desire for magic and escapism, while sustainable, eco-friendly, and micro-weddings reflect conscious living and meaningful connections. On the other end of the spectrum, bold looks like maximalism, retro disco, and royal jewel tones celebrate joy, color, and extravagance after years of minimalism dominating wedding culture. Meanwhile, futuristic tech-infused weddings show how innovation is shaping modern events, and natural styles like desert boho, garden party, and tropical luxe highlight the ongoing love for outdoor, organic beauty. Altogether, these trends speak to a generation of couples who want their weddings to be deeply personal, visually striking, and memorable for both themselves and their guests
I had a year between engagement & my actual wedding.
