Stephanie & Christoph: Wedding Session

Stephanie arrived at work on a Monday morning frazzled. She knew she had a lot of work to get to and Mondays were always her busiest days. As the day went on, rumors swirled through the office about a colleague that was in town from Austria. Stephanie, wrapped up in her work, didn’t think much of this visitor until she was introduced to the infamous Christoph. One thing went through her head when she met him; “Oh crap…I look like crap.” Discovering that their office was going to lunch in honor of Christoph’s visit, Stephanie rushed to the bathroom to freshen up. There she found women gossiping about how handsome Christoph was and how they all wanted to meet him. Well, Stephanie was the envy of the office, as she got to sit next to him during lunch. They started chatting, Stephanie giggling nervously, and later that week Christoph and Stephanie got to know each other through various work events. Their connection was instant and for those two weeks, they were inseparable. Their bond was so evident, even though they had only spent a few weeks together, two different strangers asked if they were married.

While driving home from a work party, Christoph told Stephanie that she was so special, he would leave everything behind in Austria just to be with her. It was inevitable, though, that Christoph's business trip would end, along with their fairy tale romance. They vowed to keep in touch despite the distance. Although they had a lot of odds against them, their relationship developed and six months later, Stephanie moved to Austria to be with the person she loved.

Three years went by and Stephanie and Christoph were married in a very private, intimate Austrian ceremony. Soon after, they decided that they wanted to move back to the States. Although Stephanie is currently in Georgia, and Christoph is in Austria awaiting a job transfer, their bond and love for each other keep their relationship strong and they eagerly wait for when they will be together again.

Over Christmas, we did a wedding photo session to celebrate their recent marriage. Unfortunately, it was FREEZING out and we literally spent about 20 minutes shooting. It was unbearable! Even though the shoot was short, I think it's clear how much these two truly love each other.
