Five Years

It’s hard to believe it’s been five years today since I married my best friend. I don’t often put a lot of my personal life here on my blog, but today is a special day so it deserves something special. And since photography has always intertwined in my relationship with my wife it only makes sense to put it here on our fifth wedding anniversary. I guess it all started on a rainy day in Arras.

Rainy Day in Arras — Hiding under a small overhang and capturing the shot that I eventually printed and gave to my future wife as a birthday gift.
