Blaine and I took a trip to New Zealand and Australia for 10 days. The entire country of NZ is magazine worthy and full of beauty. I plan to sit down and write a full blog post of all our adventures, but one of my favorite things we did was take anniversary photos on Muriwai Beach. It is a west coast beach with the most gorgeous glittery black sand and surrounded by huge cliffs. I found an incredibly talented photographer, Anna Hart, and she was the sweetest person. It was like hanging out with a friend at the beach. I will always treasure these images of us, and I am so happy we took an evening out of our trip to take them.

Blaine and I are high school sweethearts. We have been together ever since his senior year of high school and my sophomore year. We were married after dating for seven (yes, SEVEN!) years and have officially been together half of my life. Which makes me feel super old!

Here’s to many more adventures!
