They met in high school and unlike most high school sweethearts, their love has lasted despite distance and time.
I love that about photographing high school sweethearts. They have been through so much together even before marriage and that makes capturing them that much easier and fun! These two will have been together for 7 and a half years by the time they say I do and I can’t wait to celebrate with them. After dating long distance throughout college, Ben proposed to Claire on a beach in Cabo while vacationing with friends. It was the second to last night that they were there and he totally surprised her by asking her for the rest of their lives. The sun was setting as he knelt to one knee but a new journey of their lives together was just dawning. It’s this kind of story that makes me feel so privileged to do what I do. To have the opportunity to capture a couple whose story began 7 years ago and yet at the same time is just beginning. It is such a joy.
Ben and Claire are just the greatest and their love for one another is incredibly inspiring to me as a photographer and as a person. I can’t wait to see where their journey takes them and I can’t wait to be there with them on the day that 7 and a half years becomes the start of the rest of their lives!A special shout out to their sweet dog, Pudge, who totally rocked his part of the session! Model dog!

Happy Monday!
