Claudia & Ben’s wedding day was led by feeling above all else. Instead of a traditional first look, they chose a quiet first touch - standing back to back, hands intertwined, as they read their private vows. It was the most tender, emotional moment of the day, filled with honesty, vulnerability, and a love they hold fiercely and without hesitation.

As the ceremony approached, an unexpected storm rolled in, and the sky darkened completely. Guests gathered beneath a large tent to stay dry, and plans shifted quickly. We pivoted with their portraits outdoors, and the unplanned nature of it all turned out even more beautiful than anyone could have predicted. Their love felt so free, young, and warm that not even the rain could slow it down.

That openness carried through every part of the celebration. Claudia was surrounded by an incredible group of friends whose warmth and support radiated outward, making the entire day feel like one big hug - a reminder of how powerful it is to be held by people who truly show up for you. And when the night turned into a party, Ben completely owned the dance floor—effortless, electric, and unforgettable. The man can dance.
