When Taylor & Ben met each other, they saw stars.

So it’s no surprise that their first date took this adventurous pair to the Arizona desert, ending under the moonlit sky.

By the end of the date, Taylor knew in her heart that she wanted to marry this man. When they hugged for the first time, Ben remembers that she fit perfectly in his arms. It just felt right when they came together.

Taylor cannot get enough of Ben’s hilarious sense of humor. No matter how stressed or upset she gets, he always knows exactly what to say or do to make her laugh, and his timing is perfect! He also writes and plays her love songs on the guitar. He never really plays for anyone else, so she loves it when he plays just for her.

And Ben adores Taylor’s naturally comforting, nurturing spirit. He got really sick last summer, and was in and out of the hospital, but she was there to comfort and help him every step of the way. Her dedication and sweet presence makes Ben feel safe, knowing that no matter what happens, he’ll always have Taylor in his life.

As you savor these favorite moments from their session, take a look at Ben’s watch. Taylor gave that to him a while back, but it broke some time ago. He still wears it, though — because it was a gift from Taylor.

Time always seems to stop around her, anyway.
