Two Years After Losing His Wife To Cancer, A Man Re-Created His Wedding Photos With Their Young Daughter

Ben Nunery and his daughter created an intimate portrait of life after loss.

Ben Nunery’s wife Ali died in 2011 after a battle with a rare form of lung cancer. Two years later, Ben and their daughter Olivia decided to move out of the house that he and Ali moved into the day before their wedding. With everything packed up, the house was empty, just like it was on the day they shot their wedding photos. So Ben enlisted Ali’s sister, photographer Melanie Pace, who shot their original set of wedding photos, to shoot a set of new ones.
