Spread a blanket and stay a while under a glowing sunset.
Short summer reads…
Anniversary picnic ideas suit couples who want time together rather than a fuss. A summer evening, a blanket and a sea view can feel more romantic than any restaurant table.
I'm Leon of Twilight Ceremonies, an accredited celebrant and photographer based in Llandudno. A picnic is one of the ways couples enjoy my Couples Sunset Shoot, so here is how to plan one.
Pick a West-Facing Spot
For the sunset, look west. Church Bay on Anglesey, the headland at Nefyn or the long sands at Dinas Dinlle all catch the evening light. If you choose a beach, check the tide on EasyTide first.
Pack Simply
Bring a warm layer, a flask or a bottle of something you both love, and food that is easy to eat on a blanket. Keep the bags light so you can wander a little.
Bring a Few Words
Write a few lines each about the year just gone and swap them as the sun drops. Anniversary traditions for couples has more ideas.
Let Me Capture It
The Couples Sunset Shoot starts at £95.00 on the offerings page, with ten Polaroids handed to you the same evening and sixty digital photographs. It is for couples who want a quiet space to celebrate without a ceremony: a picnic, an evening walk or a warm-hearted photoshoot.
Why Wait?
Why wait till your 30th when you can celebrate your 1st or 2nd year with an evening like this?

A blanket, a view and each other is plenty.
