Desiree & Ben

A Hotel Blackhawk Summer Wedding

Weddings

Desiree and Ben first met in high school; they shared a lot of mutual friends. After high school, they went their separate ways to colleges, but kept in touch. “Eventually, Ben became one of my best friends,” Desiree said.

They technically met twice. “The ‘first-first’ time we met was the last day of freshman year at Luther College in 2017.

Weddings

I never saw what the wind chill was last Friday, but the temperature hit around 19°F and the wind was bitter on top of that. Annie definitely wanted outdoor photos and had done all the prep work for it, including getting rechargeable hand warmers (that conveniently were hidden in the pockets of her gown), fur […]
