I was very excited to photograph this couple! Chelsy – you are fabulous, and Ben… you are too!
In her words:
“Ben and I would have never guessed that we would meet our soul mate on an online dating site. My brother-in-law thought it would be comical to make a Yahoo Personals page one afternoon when I forgot to log out of my Yahoo account. A week later my brother-in-law told me “Hey there is this guy Ben you are talking to, take a look.” Long story short a month later on my birthday my now husband took me on our first date and 6 months later we were married!
It was a quick courtship, an even quicker engagement but it has been the best ride of both of our lives. At the time of our nuptials Ben was stationed in Newport, RI due to transfer that summer, the Coast Guard brought us to Cape Cod. This is where we have been for the last 3 years and as life slowed down for us we both know that this is the quiet before the storm. A lot of changes will be happening in the next year. Next spring our time here on Cape Cod will be over. Not knowing were the Coast Guard will be taking us we are enjoying the calm right now.
Our love is the strongest right now and when we are in the mist of craziness next year and what it will bring, its these moments that we want to remember. We wanted that reminder in pictures to bring us back to a calm part of our lives. So that we know no matter how crazy life gets for us we will always have each other and the calm will always come back around. Thank you to Michelle for capturing us and our love for our “Just Because” shoot! “
