Sun prickles on my skin. Pollen dances through my hair. Grass strokes in between my toes. The air is thick with love and the light is golden like honey. These are things I so love about Summer.
Celebrating together. <3
3 years ago I would never have imagined what a whirlwind of a journey life had in store for me. I never imagined that I would fall in love and spend my life with my special someone.
Nathan and I have spent 3 years together as of May 20th 2010. On May 20th 2007 we first proclaimed our love and have been inseparable since. I found my soulmate in everything he is and shall become, I couldn’t be luckier in any way. When you find someone you know you’ll grow old with, you gain a whole new understanding to how less scary life can be with someone you love. The chances that Nathan and I ever met are slim to none, but something made me make that move that day in order for Nathan to first find me. I’m not really the kind to believe in destiny, but I truly do believe that everything happens for a reason. And this was fate through and through. We’re young, we’re more in love than ever before and life is so new and exciting. Every day is a new adventure, whether I’m beating caterpillars off Nathan’s shirt or he’s tickling me until my face turns to beetroot. 3 years ago I never knew life would be so good.
I think there is one true soul for each one of us in this World. Sometimes it takes people 40 years to find them, and other people know them their whole lives. Whoever that person is, let them know. We will all find that special someone and I am blessed to have found mine at 16. I now know I can grow up and never be alone, even when I’m scared and cry at night, there is always an arm to hold me tight and to wipe away my woes.
Nathan, you are my World to me and I will forever love you. My heart grows everyday for you and our love and I shall cherish it forever and ever. You are my perfect prince, my angel and my “fuzzy lumpkin” and you always shall be. I am eternally proud to be by your side and shall always be right here for you too. You’re the best and I’ll always be here to remind you just how much you mean to one little heart. I love you my darling.
Here are some images I took a long time ago of a place we’ll be calling “home” very soon. A town of long twilight hours, rolling waves and endless gardens to explore with hot air balloon rides and squirrels which came to sit on Nathan’s lap. It’s a bustling town. These shots were my first visit to Bournemouth, we ran around as the sun disappeared on the horizon and I took photos of everything. I got so excited being able to see the Isle of Wight so close by where I spent a lot of my childhood holidays on that beloved island before it was ever famous for its music festival. May spend a few days visiting that island again seeing as we’ll be so close now. I will commute between London and Bournemouth for my photographic work and bring some models to the beach with me now I have that at my disposal! Life will be a happy blur of ice creams at midnight on the pier and roller blading down the promenade. I can’t wait.
We had an amazing Valentine’s Day. I won’t say much, no words can really sum it up. Nathan bought me a gorgeous, gorgeous dress. I bought him a vintage style tee and a typography book for his design antics. Everything was perfect. <3
My Valentine’s card to Nay.
Nay making eye-love to his new book.
And pimpin’ his new shirt too. <3

Om nom nom nom.
Bright light, bright light!

Cutest florist window display, ever!

32 months ago Nathan and I pronounced our first love for one another. 2 and bit years later here we are living, breathing and loving together even more than I ever could’ve possibly imagined. He made today magical for me. It was all like a fairytale.
We went to get hot chocolate. He bought me a muffin and himself a giant cookie. We sat and just relaxed in the warmth of the shop and watched the buses from the window. We then went to the cinema and saw Sherlock Holmes which was a top-notch film. We absolutely loved it, I can’t wait for it’s DVD release. We then went shopping and bought a lot of food for supper. We had an amazing pizza, salad and cream soda. Eating it in bed and watching BBC 2 felt more amazing than it ever could’ve done. It’s been such an incredible day and I’ve loved every single second.
When you find someone you love, you appreciate every second together. And how long and hard Nathan and I fought for one another has really paid off and I will never take a millisecond for granted. I love everything about this man, and this is my life and he is my future. I am so blessed.
Happy anniversary Nay. I love you. <3
