Puerto Morelos micro vow renewal ceremony honoring love, faith, and time together during life’s uncertain seasons
A session for Brad and Angelina designed by Matt Adcock – Del Sol Photography
I learned something in 2026. I met Angelina and Brad, a husband and wife photography team from Camdenton, Missouri. Brad has 20+ years in a successful and fun professional photography career. Recently, he got a diagnosis with a progressive cancer. They’ve been going through treatment. They have a GoFundMe to help cover expenses not covered by insurance and Brad hasn’t been able to work due to treatments.
After I published these images, Angelina published this on her FB page.
We have gone back and forth on whether or not we should make this post. We’ve struggled with how much to share and worried about how we might be perceived. But because we have been open about Brad’s journey, we felt it was important to explain ourselves and share the heart behind our decisions.
When I worked in insurance, the great Marcus Sykora once told us a story about a client whose husband had a terminal illness. Before his passing, they were able to take funds out of his life insurance policy to go on the trip of a lifetime together. That story stayed with me all these years. It fueled my passion for educating families and selling life insurance, never once crossing my mind that one day I would be making that phone call to ask if we could do the same.
As I shared in a post a few weeks ago, these past few months have changed everything for us and life is different now. We had worked nonstop for years and hadn’t taken a vacation in almost three years. Time kept moving, and suddenly it felt like time was the one thing we could no longer assume we had plenty of.
We wanted so badly to go somewhere together and make memories, but we struggled with the decision.
