Love in the Caucasus | Georgia Prewedding Session
This was the first time I visited Georgia. I found the capital Tbilisi to be filled with hopelessly romantic historical houses and courtyards. Talking with the young locals I noticed how positive they were and how they could affect their own and the country's future.
This was the perfect backdrop for our adventurous and romantic couple, Shuning & Dongjun. We started the morning at the old Turkish bathhouses with Tibilisi's historical center in the background, while they blissfully danced on top of the roof. At one of the hidden gardens in the historical center which was filled with lush greens, the couple sat on a rustic bench to take in the city and its distinctly shaped Orthodox churches.

In the afternoon, the couple went on to a vintage cafe called Linville to enjoy some Georgian wine. The interior there is absolutely stunning: the staff explained that this kind of interior style is how it used to be in the old Georgian times. They capped the night off with another drink on a rooftop bar watching the sun sink behind the horizon of this magical city.
The next day we took a car and drove to the majestic Caucasus mountains, stopping along the way spontaneously for photos. When we finally reached the destination of Kazbegi, we gasped as we saw the Orthodox Gergeti Trinity Church with the majestic Caucasus mountains in the background. Dongjun went on his knees and proposed his love to Shuning with the church as a backdrop. This setting allowed for so many romantic moments as the sun started to set and the colors of the mountains started to change.
