It’s one thing to find love and it’s another thing to nurture it and make it blossom all through the years. Barbara and Alex are proof that it’s possible to do both. 😍

Ten years ago, we featured their beautiful white wedding ceremony and here we are today,  having a full-circle moment as they celebrate their wedding anniversary. The journey, which began 14 years ago at a surprise birthday party for Alex, has turned out to be one of the best birthday gifts ever! Surrounded by their three adorable children and the warmth of love, we can’t help but celebrate this beautiful milestone with them.

Each frame of their anniversary shoot tells a story of a love that was meant to be! They also shared some interesting nuggets on how they’ve kept the spark alive… you certainly want to keep scrolling and take it all in.
