A Bond That Never Breaks
Mother-Daughter Bonding
Recalling the experience on his blog, Ben wrote:
"I did it for me. I did it for us. I did it so I would have something to show for the love and beauty that occupied that house for a short time in our lives."
The Staircase
In the left image, Ben waits for his bride to descend the staircase. In the right, four years later, Olivia meets her dad on the stairs.
"I wanted to be able to show Olivia the place where her mother and I started our lives together and dreamed of raising children," he wrote.
Cuddle Time
"The memories of Ali don't live in that house," Ben wrote of his late wife on his blog. "They live with us, in our hearts."
The Look
Love is in the air in both images, as Olivia and her father recreate the 2009 photo of Ben and her mom.
The Dance
Ben dances with daughter Olivia, recalling the beautiful black-and-white image of husband and wife, left.
With a Little Help From Dad
Little Olivia is on her toes—well, her father's toes—in this pic, taken by her aunt Melanie.
