Honeymoon Photos

Many of you generously contributed to our honeymoon fund, and we can't thank you enough!

Your generosity helped make our dream trip to Italy possible. We chose Tuscany for its beautiful spring scenery, charming villages, and unforgettable food and wine -- it couldn't have been more perfect. ❤️

Day 1

Our Italian adventure began in Rome, then onward to Florence by train.

April 22, 2026

Romantic evening stroll in Florence.

Day 2

From David in Florence to the rolling hills of Trequanda.

The oldest surviving upright piano, built in 1739. Galleria dell’Accademia.

Maybe not our most flattering photo 🙈, but we had to capture this moment. The unfinished sculptures leading up to David really struck us—especially Marc. We found a quiet corner to reflect and pray together. It reminded us that, like those works, he’s in the middle of becoming. Flight school is part of his unfinished masterpiece, with his own “David” still ahead.

Day 3

A perfect day in Montalcino, exploring castles and Brunello with our sommelier, Alexandra.

Alexandra’s house.

Stunning views.

April 24, 2026

We couldn’t have asked for a better start to our wine journey than Castello Tricerchi. A cozy tasting room, incredible Brunello, and a castle that has welcomed travelers for centuries—it set the tone for an unforgettable day.

April 24, 2026

Golden hour over Trequanda from our balcony.

April 24, 2026

We ended our five-hour wine tasting with gelato from Why Not. Because, truly… why not? Especially when it comes to gelato.

April 24, 2026

A stretch on the Via Francigena—the 1,200-mile pilgrimage route from Canterbury to Rome. By Montalcino, pilgrims were in the final miles of their journey.

April 24, 2026

Beautiful antipasti, followed by a pasta course so memorable that we never thought to reach for the camera.

Day 4

We began bright and early in the village of Montisi, where we started our truffle hunting experience.

April 25, 2026

Zoe, Lorenzo’s truffle-hunting puppy, was still in training. Unlike pigs, which can be destructive, dogs carefully sniff out truffles without damaging the forest.

April 25, 2026

Zoe found every truffle with ease. Handing them over instead of eating them was another story.

April 25, 2026

White truffles are the rarest and most valuable, so every find is carefully protected. Once Zoe caught the scent, Lorenzo used this spear to gently uncover the truffle.

Now it is time to cook! Marc is shaving truffles in this photo.

Celebrated our honeymoon and Danielle’s birthday.

April 25, 2026

Giancarlo is so nice and kind. He cooked for Rick Steves so he pretty much is the coolest person ever. Next to Rick Steves.

April 25, 2026

Contucci Winery has been producing wine in Montepulciano since the 11th century, making it one of the town’s oldest family-owned wineries and one of the founding names behind Vino Nobile di Montepulciano. Here is a wine cave.

April 25, 2026

Our first Bistecca alla Fiorentina—Florence’s iconic T-bone steak, grilled the traditional way.

Day 5

From the hilltop streets of Assisi to an impromptu tulip festival, some of the best moments weren’t planned.

April 26, 2026

Walking the streets of Assisi, where Saint Francis was born and began a life devoted to simplicity, peace, and service.

April 26, 2026

A refreshing spritz, lively streets, and the genuine hospitality of the people of Assisi.

April 26, 2026

We climbed to the top of the castle and took in the sweeping views of the surrounding countryside.

April 26, 2026

An unexpected tulip festival turned into one of our favorite memories. We enjoyed local food, danced to a live band, and explored the work of local artists.

Day 6

No plans, no itinerary—just spontaneity. It turned into the most memorable and exciting day of our honeymoon.

April 27, 2026

This chapel has watched over the grounds of Conti Costanti—one of Montalcino’s oldest wineries—for more than a thousand years. We arrived without a reservation, yet were welcomed with such warmth and generosity that it became one of the most meaningful moments of our trip.
