Animated Film-Inspired Photography

These Adorable Anniversary Photos are Modelled After 'Up'

Lauren Wells gifted her grandparents with adorable anniversary photos inspired by the Pixar animated, feel-good film 'Up.' Indeed, this precious elderly couple, who are celebrating 61 years of holy matrimony, look uncannily like the couple featured in the films' poignant opening sequence. Though the movie is a tear-jerker, this photo shoot will bring nothing but smiles to your face.

Wells enlisted Cambria Grace Photography and Wildfolk flower studio to complete her vision. She stayed true to the film, setting the shoot on a bridge, complete with a cluster of colorful balloons, vintage-looking suitcases and vibrant floral arrangements.

Overall, the photo shoot pays homage to a heart-string-tugging movie as well as commemorates a beautifully devoted friendship and marriage. As an added bonus, Wells has arranged that the couple view the photos on Christmas Day.
