Oh, I have been so anxious to tell this story and to post these pictures. This love story is one that crosses continents, oceans and miles upon miles. It really is a testament to the fact that God brings together people in His perfect timing and amidst obstacles that would seem to make it impossible.

I met Jenn years before when we were both in the same bible study through our church. At that time, she was just about to quit her job to move overseas as a missionary in East Africa. While there were ups and downs as she prepared to go, her vision was set on moving her life to a country much different from the one she had known with the hope that she might help the people she would come in contact with, both physically and spiritually. She was on mission.

Little did she know, God was doing much of the same work in a young man’s heart on a different continent across different oceans. Blake had served in Southeast Asia for a few years with the same purpose. To see lives changed. He was on mission.

I remember when Jenn left to go overseas and I remember her saying to our bible study, ‘When I come back, a lot of you will probably have met your husband and gotten married!’ Little did she know that she would meet her husband in that span of time too.

After having moved to Africa, she took a vacation with some friends to Greece and while she was there, she decided to try online dating. She was matched with Blake, even though they were literally oceans apart, as he was in the U.S. finishing seminary. Well, it didn’t take long for them to see that this was special. They quickly bonded over their love for internationals and their common faith, not to mention they just became quick friends.  The rest, well the rest just fell into place.

She came home not too long after they started talking and 10 months after their relationship began, he asked her for the rest of her life. Oceans, continents, miles and miles…well they just weren’t enough.

They were married on a beautiful beach in Cancun, surrounded by dear friends and family and I was so privileged to be there to capture it. It was a day marked by relaxation and the joy of togetherness as they committed to the rest of their days. The Mexican sun shone down on them and the waves rolled in as they held hands and said ‘I Do.’ To me, it was so special to be standing by an ocean as they became Mr. and Mrs. since not even oceans could keep God’s plan for them from unfolding.

Jennifer and Blake, your wedding was beautiful but your relationship was even more so. I was beyond privileged to share in such a day and to have journeyed with you in this process. There is no telling where God will take you but I know it will be better together than apart. Looking forward to seeing it happen!

Enjoy some of my favs from their Cancun wedding!

Happy Monday!
