Ten

November 20, 2012 in Personal

Ten years ago we wed.

Ten days we drove in our little Honda Fit to celebrate.

Ten decades from now I hope I still get to hold your hand as I fall asleep.

Even if we make it that far, it will never be enough.

So I choose to live.

To live in the moment.

Always, here with you.

Ten.

 -Dedicated to my Trevor

My husband and I celebrated our tenth anniversary by exploring Nevada, Arizona, Utah and Colorado. We kicked off the trip with seeing a performance of the Love Beatles show and then headed east to get in touch with our inner John Muir. We experienced the Grand Canyon, Four Corners, Mesa Verde, Glenwood Springs cavern, a ghost tour at the haunted Stanley Hotel where Stephen King was inspired to write The Shining, the Denver Zombie Crawl, Arches National Park, Bryce Canyon and Meteor Crater. It was our first road trip. Our first of what will hopefully be many.

Happy Halloween!

Here are photos from the Denver Zombie Crawl. I love how creative people were and the atmosphere was just so fun. Denver was one of our favorite stops on my husband and I’s 10 day 10th wedding anniversary road trip. More photos to come from the rest of our celebration. xo Rachel

 Hope everyone had a fabulous weekend! I had a fun-filled photographic weekend which is always my favorite. Saturday I shot a wedding alongside the lovely & talented Kristin Carlson and Sunday I got to shoot a headshot session for the lovely & talented Alison Janes .

SATURDAY

Kristin and I take a quick shot after shooting the formals. It was really hot by then so excuse our sweatiness. :D

Here are some behind the scenes iPhone photos shot by the lovely and talented Brian C. Janes.

Alison and I make sure we are on the right track

Trevor, my husband, is the best voice activated reflector stand ever

Grungy alleys make for awesome headshot locations

At the end of the shoot we posed by the whale wall and then chowed down on some delicious indian food from Hurry Curry
