“Would you like to see a video of our proposal?” they asked me. And as a hopeless romantic, how could I say no? With the push of ‘play’ – my eyes immediately welled up with tears as I watched Ben propose to Christine outside of the high school where they met and fell in love. Standing in front of the High School Sign that was relettered to say “Will you Marry Me?” – Ben got down on one knee and Christine could barely contain her excitement. It was a moment many years in the making.
And despite the challenges of a long distance relationship throughout college, their friendship and love has only grown stronger. You can see it in the way they look at one another… they are best friends, soul mates, and soon to be husband and wife! Christine and Ben have a love story that would inspire the romantic in all of us!
I absolutely love, love, loved spending my afternoon with Christine and Ben! We laughed and even cried together (darn that proposal video!) while walking around the Naval Academy! It was such an honor to photograph such an incredible couple! Congratulations sweethearts!
