Christina and Benton: A Wedding From Half a World Away

Christina and Benton have officially won an award. It’s called the “Couples That Have Written to Me From Really Far Away” award.

Benton and Christina met in one of the least likely places ever. Afghanistan. Yup. Afghanistan. Stationed in Central Asia for the last several years, these two have been living half a world away as civilian contractors. That’s where they found each other. And that’s where they fell in love.

With their sights set on traveling to the Rocky Mountains of Colorado for a romantic destination wedding with their closest family, they emailed me to ask about Wedding Photography. Let’s just say the rest is history. We met on a rainy afternoon in Estes Park to shoot an Engagement Photography Session. Rain drops quickly turned to sunshine and ominous-looking clouds moved aside to make room for blue skies.  Christina and Benton are a joy to be around. They were totally game for my artistic ideas, and they had plenty of their own.

Christina and Benton, thank you for sharing your laughter, humor and your love for one another!
