Have really been wanting to post more photos from Italy…but it’s just been too crazy busy lately. However, I could not go without blogging about place. It’s been 3 months already since we were in Italy, but better late than never. Well…If Cinque Terre is like heaven…I’ll be fine going there. Cinque Terre consists of 5 little towns that are built into the cliffs bordering the Ligurian Sea. This place is nothing but beautiful. A trip to Cinque Terre is like taking a time machine back 50 years. Old ladies spending the day on a bench watching people pass, clotheslines draped across the narrow streets, and rustic architecture. There are virtually no cars and very few bikes in this area. Travel to the 5 towns requires you hike or a take a train.
Em and I spent two days in Cinque Terre just hiking and absorbing the natural beauty found there. Although we did visit all 5 towns, we still wished we would have had one more day there. It was amazing! We stayed in Vernazza…it was like a dream.
This was our place…we stayed in a hostel. The image to the right was the dark stairway up to our place…awesome!
Climbing a million stairs is part of the charm of Cinque Terre
This is Vernazza!
The first day we took the long, rigorous hike into Monterosso! It was gorgeous, the only mistake we made was to hike back as well instead of taking the train back to Vernazza.
Best Ravioli I ate in Italy!
During our first night in Cinque Terre, we both awoke about 4am to the smell of bread baking. Turns out, we sleeping just above a bakery in Vernazza. It smelled like heaven…so for breakfast we ate fresh baked focaccia for breakfast. Honestly, I don’t think I have ever tasted anything better in my life!
We walked through the Tunnel of Love…it is a place where lovers once met up between the towns. 
Legend has it that if you bring a lock with your lover to this tunnel, you will stay together forever. Could not believe how many locks there were.
This was the last I saw of Vernazza as we left early the next morning…

Kristen and Evan have something special…I recognized the moment I met them at their gorgeous engagement session. Kristen and Evan have know each other pretty much all their lives and began dating as teenagers. They were love at first sight and never looked back. It’s always special when a couple invites me to capture their most special day. As a photographer, I have a chance to capture some very special moments between a bride and groom. I love capturing these moments… a bride and groom for the first time, dad bringing his girl down the aisle, the newly married couple coming up the aisle, the toasts, the first dance, etc. All of this was a treat to capture at Kristen and Evan’s wedding, but I really enjoyed capturing the moment they exited the church sanctuary as husband and wife. While all the guests remained seated, Kristen and Evan shared a sweet hug and kiss in the foyer. It was a hug and kiss accompanied by sigh of relief that they are finally married. I was lucky enough to be standing there with my camera to capture this.
Also, isn’t Kristen’s dress stunning? It was handmade by Evan’s mother and it was perfect! Just to give you an idea…I was told the sleeves took 6 hours each! Needless to say…it was amazing!
Kristen and Evan…it was a delight to be there on your special day! I wish you both the best!
BTW…Evan is a very talented bassist…you should check out his band The Fragrance Check them out!

What a wonderful collection that really captured a day of life change. Thanks John.
Rarely do I have the opportunity to photograph a bride and groom in “delicious” light, but such was just the case last night! Light so beautiful you can taste it…more coming soon from this gorgeous wedding at Stonebrooke!
