Looking back on this shot, one of the last of the post-ceremony portraits with this couple in northeastern Italy, Slovenian wedding photographer Nejc Bole can only think of the unusual story that brought these two together.

“They met—well, she met him—while he was in a hospital in a coma after a motorbike accident,” Bole explains. “She was working at the hospital and took care of him.” It turns out, they actually knew each other before his accident—they were from the same town but ran in different circles, “from completely different worlds,” Bole says. “He woke up from his coma just about a year before they got married.”
