One word keeps coming to mind as I look back through Christine & Ryan's wedding images . . . Genuine. When it was time for their portraits, I did not have to ask these two to cuddle, laugh, or look in love.  They were naturally laughing and playing together the whole time...  It was that nose-wrinkling, genuine, laughter that's impossible to fabricate.  They are the type of couple that I always hope I'll get to work with!  Couples who genuinely enjoy each other's company and are so in love that they can't help but show it.  You'll see it below, I don't think you can miss it!  It was truly a pleasure to work with them!  Not only the couple, but everyone at this wedding was so kind and made me feel right at home.  Their family, bridal party, and guests were all a pleasure to spend the day with. 

The details of this wedding - rose gold accessories, Christine's gorgeous dress, globes and maps all added to the overall warm, adventurous, and vintage feel.  That old world charm combined with such a sweet couple created a wedding for the books!  Luckily the rain stopped just long enough to get some pictures in before the reception! 

Congratulations again, Christine & Ryan! ♥
