Tarureka Estate Wedding: Ben & Vanessa

When I posted a teaser photo from their wedding, I think my caption was along the lines of, ‘If you wanted to know what in love looks like, Ben and Vanessa are IT.’
That’s how I remember them and that’s what I captured on their wedding day. Their love for each other.
Besides the fact that they are a gorgeous couple, they are also beautiful inside. No wonder people didn’t mind travelling across the globe just to celebrate this day with them.

Ben and Vanessa have been together for 6 years. They moved to Brussels over a year ago for work.
On their 5th day in Belgium, Ben took Vanessa to Bruges for her birthday and proposed!
When Vanessa was telling me this story, she told me that she wasn’t expecting it at all because she knew that Ben didn’t believe in marriage.
Ben then said to me, ‘She changed my mind.’
I know I have said it a million times before but moments like this, they are really what makes me love what I do even more.

Ben and Vanessa, thank you from the bottom of my heart for allowing me to capture all these beautiful memories for you.
You’re both incredible people and it was truly a pleasure to get to know you and your families.
I wish you a lifetime of more beautiful memories and a home filled with books!
Much love, Candy
