Our Ten Year Anniversary
In August Justan and I celebrated our ten year wedding anniversary. Going back to Tortola was something that we have been planning for years. It will always hold such a special place in our hearts because it’s where we honeymooned ten years ago. There are not enough adjectives to describe how beautiful the British Virgin Islands are. From the moment we arrived on Tortola, I immediately thought, “why has it taken us ten years to come back here?” It’s truly one of the prettiest places we’ve ever visited. We booked the same villa that we stayed in ten years ago. In 2017 Hurricane Irma destroyed almost everything in the villa and it had to be rebuilt. It’s hard to put into words how exquisite the island is. It’s one of those locations that we feel everyone should visit and experience for themselves. The entire time we were on our trip, we had a running joke that on our honeymoon “we were livin’ on love” and weren’t paying attention because I don’t think we fully appreciated the beauty of the island. Ha! No matter where you go on the island, you are encompassed by the most gorgeous water and the view of the other mountainous islands that surround it. I can’t tell you how many times we would be sitting in silence staring at the scenery with the biggest smile on our faces. Even thinking about it right now makes me tear up. I know there are countless places around the world that are delightful, but this area is definitely at the top of our list and our “Happy Place.”
It’s no surprise the first thing I do when we choose a vacation spot, is start researching local photographers and planning a photo session. We have a list of places that we would love to visit in the future and I’ve got a photographer picked out in each and every area. Ha! Justan is always so loving, kind and go-with-the-flow when it comes to planning for these sessions. When I told him that I was hoping to have him wear a suit on the beach his response was, “whatever you’re picturing works for me.” It was eighty-five degrees outside with high humidity, but he never complained once. Just another reason why he’s my favorite!
We will cherish these images and this session for years to come. Without further ado I give you a few of my favorite images from our Ten Year Anniversary Session from the beautiful beaches of Tortola, British Virgin Island. Enjoy and I hope everyone has a wonderful day!
