They met during her first week on the job- he arrived to deliver her new computer, so naturally, she thought he was the IT guy… turns out he was kind of her boss. Once that was cleared up, though, the interest began to set in. Their first date took them out and about in DC  from dinner to a basketball game to post-game drinks, and despite the fact that Cristina has absolutely zero interest in basketball, they both enjoyed themselves so much that they went on a date every day after that for the next eleven days.

If you could meet them, you’d see in an instant why they belong together- his enthusiastic manner of conversing when it comes to how he talks about her, the way her entire face lights up when she smiles at him, and the sweet, genuine manner in which they interact. It’s infectious, really, you can’t NOT smile around these two. So sweet they are that when both of them were having a bad day prior to their engagement session, they took the time to write down a number of happy memories they have with one another, just so they would arrive in good spirits. I, simply put, love them.

Tim & Cristina, thank you for an absolutely delightful evening exploring Alexandria! I loved getting to know you both more and I’m so thankful to have had the chance to spend the evening with you. Also, thank you for the introduction to Columbia Firehouse- totally bringing Matt with me next time we’re in Alexandria :). Love you guys!!

I love this photograph, so so much.
