In the days before we left Okinawa my husband and I reached a milestone for the two of us. We had a special anniversary and we did our best to escape the chaos and mutiny of our move to celebrate. It left me pondering what makes a day special? Hitting the ten year milestone maybe I expected to wake up to fireworks or the sounds of angels rejoicing!
Then the phone rang.
It was my friend AVIVA. Our pictures were ready to see. We didnt have a big wedding with a fancy photographer. In our ten years we had never had couple pictures. So I thought this was a perfect excuse to get some of just the two of us.
I sat on her couch and watched the pictures come up one at a time and felt my eyes well up with tears.The fireworks started to go off. In the pictures I could see us…and celebrate us. I couldnt think of a better way to celebrate our day.
A few of our favorites, and as you may have guessed in black and white, which Aviva my AMAZING color girl, was sweet enough to do for me!
A special thanks to Aviva for making us feel so comfortable and using her artsy magic to help us feel so beautiful. I love that when I look at these pictures, I see my husband just the way I do. That may sound strange, but there is that special look or the angle that makes my heart go pitter patter all over again, and well she captured it and I feel so thankful. Thankful to be able to celebrate this special milestone, fireworks and all, for years to come.
To my husband…a very public I love you. You are my everything. My rock, my inspiration, my guide through this amazing world. I cant imagine one second of this adventure without you. Thank you for loving me. To infinity and beyond…

P.S. – If you are on Okinawa and would like to check out Aviva, I highly recommend it! You can find her by clicking on any one of the pictures above. She used to work for me at THE Studio and has just recently launched her own photography business. I couldnt be more proud of her! Be sure to tell her I sent you, she will be so tickeled!
