As they traveled down the canals and basked in the sunshine, they smiled knowing that they were about to begin a new journey together.

At the heart of any wedding is the power of love, and this couple proved that there does not need to be an audience in order for their love to radiate throughout the entire experience. The bride and groom opted for a private ceremony at the Hotel Bauer in Venice, Italy, and they spent their day enjoying the intimacy of the moments that they shared with one another.
