Michelle and Barack Obama celebrated their 34th wedding anniversary by sharing new and previously unseen photos from their relationship, including a photo of the couple walking barefoot on a beach.

Michelle marked the anniversary on October 3 with a social media post featuring moments from their marriage.

The former first lady and former president, who married in Chicago in 1992, were shown slow dancing during a date night, visiting the newly opened Obama Presidential Center and walking hand in hand.

"Love you just keeps getting better and better! Happy anniversary, @BarackObama," Michelle wrote. "Here's to many, many more years of joy, laughter, and memories to come."

Among the photos was a candid beach image showing Michelle and Barack walking towards the ocean while holding hands.

Michelle wore an ankle-length nude-coloured cardigan with white circular designs, paired with taupe trousers. She wore her hair in a knotted ponytail with a gold headband.

Barack was pictured beside her wearing a dark jacket, grey trousers and a white baseball cap. He carried a pair of white trainers in one hand as the couple walked along the beach barefoot.

Michelle's anniversary post also included a black-and-white photograph from the couple's wedding day, along with images from their years in the White House.

Barack separately marked the occasion by sharing a recent photograph of Michelle wearing a white asymmetrical off-the-shoulder dress.

In the image, she was pictured with her arms around her husband while displaying her wedding ring stack and diamond cuff earrings.

"Happy anniversary, @MichelleObama! I'm still the luckiest guy in the world to be with you," Barack captioned the post.
