When I first met Adela and heard the love story that she and Ben share, I KNEW I had to photograph this truly special day for them. Their story is one of romance and from a totally different time and I absolutely love it. Adela moved across the country to the Twin Cities in the spring of 2009 to attend a Bible school in Plymouth — this is where she met Ben. No sooner than a week after they met did Ben have to return to Tanzania, to proceed with his missionary work abroad. The two remained in contact, mostly through long letters (as telephone and internet service isn’t necessarily easy to come by in Tanzania), and ultimately fell in love. When Ben returned home for the holidays in 2009, they got engaged, and the wedding was on! If all of that isn’t awesome enough, check this out: Ben and Adela decided to save their first real kiss for their wedding day – how amazingly romantic is that?! And truly – we all know how amazing and special that first kiss is with someone you love… how many couples can say that they have that moment documented to look back on for the rest of their lives? I felt truly honored to capture it. And they were just too cute — once the floodgates were opened, they couldn’t stop stealing kisses for the remainder of the time I spent with them. True, true love — it was awesome to witness.
Thanks so much for letting me be a part of your special day, B+A! Your love for each other is amazing, and I’m so excited to see where your path together takes you!
