The term “love with abandon” comes to mind with Tim & Cristina- I lost count of the number of times he twirled her in her wedding gown during their first look. He couldn’t take his eyes off of her- it’s the way every girl dreams of being looked at, with the eyes of first love every time he glanced her way. No matter how crowded the room, it seemed they kept forgetting everyone else was there. Caught entirely up in each other, in the moment, in the enchantment of their wedding day, it was just them; a bride and a groom, madly in love, determined to cherish every single moment.

Tim & Cristina, days like September 27th, 2014, and couples like you two are the very epitome of why I fell in love with this life in the first place. Your sweet, sweet love is such a precious thing to witness, and I’m so lucky to have been the one to document your wedding day! I hope marriage so far is nothing short of bliss, and that the shores of Greece are everything you dreamed and more!
