There's a fabulous challenge up at this week. It's to tell the story of your favorite romantic place through photos.

Our honeymoon location easily tops that list, and considering I got well over 1000 shots during a one week span... this should rather easy! The hard part, once again, will be to narrow it down to my most favorite shots. Wouldn't want you guys to wait ALL day for the post to load. =)

So without further delay, I present to you.... Tahiti!

Hm okay, it didn't really start out with that view, but it's a little more dramatic than:

Granted after about 36 hours of no sleep (I'm terrified of flying and there were 2 extremely long flight involved), the picture above holds more value to me personally. It's proof that I made it without having to down a bottle of Xanax in the process!

After a 2 hour layover, we got on a little puddle jumper, and shortly thereafter landed in Moorea. 

While we waited for our room to be prepared, we got to relax by the pool. It was such a treat after the long flight that I felt that I could have laid there forever and be happy.

We explored the little island thoroughly over the next few days, taking in all of what it had to offer. Feeding sharks and sting rays, picnic on a private motu (tiny island), local restaurants, and on the last day we rented a scooter and circled the entire island. Surrounded by so much beauty and perfection, it was impossible not to feel love. For each other, for nature, for the friendly locals with their lyrical dialect.

Here are a few more of my favorites from Moorea.
