To say Tiana and Steffen have had a whirlwind romance is an understatement! They met in February 2020 while neither were looking for a relationship. They spent some time together as Steffen was in Canada for work. Neither of them would realize how much their hearts needed each other until Steffen went back home to Germany. They spoke every day, clocking more and more hours on the phone each time. It was obvious to them both that they simply could not live apart. While in the middle of the worldwide pandemic, Steffen worked hard to get back to his true love in Canada. After what seemed like continuous boarder closures, they were reunited and promised themselves to never be apart again. They were married in a small backyard ceremony surrounded by friends and family all over the world (thanks to live stream of course!)
Tiana walked with her oldest for the first part of the aisle, then to her son, then her beautiful baby girl walked her to her groom. She kissed all three of her kids and then gave the officiant a big hug (maybe I should mention that the officiant was also her father). They read each other the beautiful vows they had wrote, kissed, signed paperwork, then cracked a German beer and cheersed all the family back in Germany.
Their wedding was a lot smaller than they had wanted, and you could feel both their hearts yearning for their family in Germany to be there in person, but they made the best of it and included everyone throughout the day in anyway they could. The sun was shining and the wind was just enough to wave the couture skirt for some stunning photographs.
Since the guestlist had to be so very tiny, I truly felt like part of the family during their day. Tiana and I got along so well from the minute we spoke on the phone, her parents were both incredibly kind, always concerned if I needed to have water or a bite to eat during the day. Their wedding day was a dream, the perfect blend of simplistic and elegance.
Thank you Tiana for having me document these moments for you and your family. I am so happy for you and delighted to have met a new friend!
