On July 1st, 2017, Benita and Andrew got married in Kenosha, Wisconsin. I have to share that it’s been a delightful process getting to know them. When Benita and Andrew interviewed me earlier this year, I thought they were super sweet. After hiring me, I was super glad they took me up on the engagement shoot because I got to hear more of their beautiful God-inpired love story. Then the wedding came and I pretty much learned at a very fast pace what they are about by meeting the core people in their lives. I’ve been to many weddings, but this one was different on many levels. My hands were really busy because of the various components of a big wedding day, the wedding party was the biggest I’ve ever had…but when the WORSHIP MUSIC came on, I KNEW I was hand-picked for the job! :) These two met at worship school so I don’t know why I was surprised that the worship music at their wedding was gonna be OUT OF THIS WORLD! I can go on and on, but I’m just so honored that I got to be the wedding photographer at this very special wedding. Benita and Andrew, you two were made in heaven for each other and your marriage will be an example of God’s love for so many people…not just in America but all over the world! You have blessed me in numerous ways and my heart will always be tender every time I think about you. xo

I will end with this photo of the bridge because this was one of the locations Andrew used the day he asked Benita to marry him. It was an elaborate proposal but Benita is not an ordinary girl! So honored God allowed me to be the documentarian of this beautiful love story.
