Maybe the most amazing day on our trip, the Swiss Alps are simply incredible. These photos are from the morning in Montreux and the afternoon spent at the summit of Rochers-de-Naye.

Montreux and Rochers-de-Naye
This day takes on the mantle of contender for best day of the trip.
We started out pretty simply, walking along the lake in Montreux sampling tasty local Swiss ice cream, called Movenpick, and taking photos of the lake and parks along the walk.
The main event for the day was a train ride, essentially straight up a mountain, to one of the higher peaks in the immediate area. We had hoped for Continue reading
Montreux and Vevey Switzerland
I just finished resizing a bunch of pictures from our first day in Switzerland and was getting ready to post them when I realized that I hadn’t finished a post talking about our time in Switzerland. So here is a quick rundown of a couple of our days there. We spent one day on a nearby peak name Roches-de-Naye that gets its own post because it was just that cool.
Photos of Venice
Lots of pictures today. Though it wasn’t my favorite place we went to during the honeymoon, it turned out to be one of the most photographically interesting.
Photos from Siena
The last city we visited while we were still down in Tuscany, Siena was probably my favorite bigger city we visited in Italy. Here are some photos we took in the city, from the city of the surrounding area, and a couple we took that day when we got back to Radda at the end of the day.
Kim Wade at Silverbox Photographers
This post is well overdue, but I’ve just been really busy at work and tired when I’m home so I haven’t taken the time write much lately. After watching our slideshow for the 100th time I decided it was time.
One of the most important things to me when we were doing our wedding planning was our photographer. As you might have noticed from past posts I’m a wannabe photographer myself. I also love to go back and look at photos from the past and I knew that having a good wedding album was going to be important to me. All my wishes and more were fulfilled with Kim Wade of Silverbox Photographers.
Plain and simple Kim Wade was the perfect photographer. Artistically brilliant and far and away the best person we dealt with through the whole wedding process.
I will let Kim’s work speak for itself. I can’t do her justice in words. Check out her work on our wedding and our engagement session.
What I can say is that there is no one that could have done a better job working with us during the whole process. Kim has a great ability to make you not feel self-conscious in front of the camera, which is critical to getting great photos. Her energy is infectious and she makes it hard for you to not enjoy the whole photo shoot experience.
One of my favorite things about Kim is that she’s all about getting the best possible shots she can, no matter what. I love to tell the anecdote of when she laid down on the sidewalk in Old Town Alexandria to get a shot of us where you could see the cobblestones in the foreground. You can actually see one of the pictures where Cris and I are cracking up at people in a car driving buy that are looking at her while she’s taking the shot.
Bottom line is that Kim is really incredible. If you ever have any need for a photographer there is no one better you can go to.

Today’s photo installment comes from what might have been my favorite day from the honeymoon. When we talked about going to Italy for our honeymoon, this is what I was imagining. I already told you about the time we spent in these places and I’m finally posting the pictures from the day.
Photos from Volterra and San Gimignano
Some more shots from the honeymoon. These are a from the first two hill towns that we visited in the Tuscan countryside, Volterra and San Gimignano.
Photos from Tuscany
Finally getting around to putting up some more of our pictures from our honeymoon trip. We took these pictures around the little town we stayed in, Radda in Chianti, while we were in Tuscany. These will give you a good idea how incredible the area is and how amazing the view from our hotel room was.
Photos from Florence
A lot of people have been asking about pictures from our honeymoon and I simply haven’t taken the time to go through them and upload them yet. Given that there are somewhere between 1,200 and 1,500 pictures from the trip I’m not uploading them all. This first installment is a sampling of unedited pictures from our time in Florence.
