Snowy sunrise at the Grand Canyon

What do you dream of seeing or experiencing in this world?

For me experiencing the Grand Canyon was definitely high up my list. I finished shooting a wedding on the west-coast of the US and was staying with some friends in Colton, California. At some point the idea of seeing a sunrise at the Grand Canyon became a thing.. and I was SO STOKED! Seeing this place in its full glory seemed like the best thing! Me and a good friend packed up the car and set of on our journey to Arizona. We drove through the night to be on time for the spectacle.

After a long drive that went by ridiculously fast, we drove up to the edge of the canyon in the moonlight. It was winter and it had been snowing which made the scenery even better.

We settled down on a rock with a million blankets anxiously waiting to see the sun come up and DAAAANG, did she come with a spectacular entrance…
