Bora Bora

Bora Bora is a tropical paradise located in the Society islands of French Polynesia (Tahiti).  The travel photos on this page represent some of our earliest attempts at serious photography.  

We bought our first DSLR in preparation for our honeymoon trip to Tahiti. However, it quickly became apparent that one camera between two people wasn't going to cut it. In the three months leading up to our departure, we ended up buying so much gear that we had to get a Pelican case to haul it all in.

Tahiti was an incredible place to visit, and we can't wait to go back sometime in the near future. The Le Meridien resort, with its over-water bungalows, is featured in many of these images. An on-site sea turtle sanctuary provided us with the opportunity to see some of these gorgeous creatures up close.  One of our favorite shots is featured here.
