“Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply gives you courage.”
― Lao Tzu
Being part of this destination wedding has been a huge privilege. Anya and Brieanna were the kindest and sweetest brides to work with and their love for each other is deep and inspiring. Dreaming of an intimate wedding, they decided that getting married in Tuscany would be the perfect place for these two lovebirds and, with the help of Alessia, the opted for the amazing Antica Fattoria di Paterno. Beauty was everywhere around us: in the lovely countryside, in the perfectly coordinated details, in the stunning venue, in a family and friends who flew all over the ocean to be with the newlyweds, and, most of all, in the eyes of one of the most beautiful couples we had the pleasure to meet. Enjoy, and get inspired!

Briar + Tim - An intimate al fresco wedding at Villa Catignano
Outdoor weddings never fail to woo us, especially when they come in Tuscany.
Outdoor weddings never fail to woo us, especially when they come in Tuscany. The stunning Villa Catignano, surrounded by italian nature and courtyards, was the perfect background to celebrate the sweetest couple ever! Briar and Tim’s beautiful wedding day was a perfect balance between romance and lively wonder. These two lovebirds chose Italy for their destination wedding to gather their families and friends together for the most special day! From the mix and match lavender bridesmaid dresses to their lovely reception under twinkle lights, everything was totally on point. Floé team helped their vision come to life, and we can’t be more grateful to have been part of this day.

With beautiful soft lights and colours and an early Italian summer, our styled shoot would like to show you a hidden gem, an undisclosed spot in Northern Italy.
With beautiful soft lights and colours and an early Italian summer, our styled shoot would like to show you a hidden gem, an undisclosed spot in Northern Italy.
As destination wedding photographers, we at L&V Photography are quite used to travel in and around Italy and Europe to the most particular and renown locations and venues: but we know the talents and the beauty we also have next to our doorsteps. Lombardy is not just busy and bustling cities like Milan, with its industrial and frenetic life: the countryside can leave you speechless.
This could represents a new perspective of what our hills could offer for your wedding day or elopement.
Our countryside is just as beautiful as other sweet Italian hills that you are used to admire in so many wedding blogs. Still having those “Tuscan Vibes” that in general Italian countryside can really offer.
So here we are, we gathered an amazing group of creative vendors in this beautiful villa up in the hills between Lombardy and Piedmont, near Tortona, just roughly 70 kilometers form Milano and its airports.
Ourselves and the rest of this amazing team of creative vendors wanted to tell a story, reflecting the romantic vibes that Villa Garibalda gifted us with.
The project was inspired by the soft tones, the beautiful garden, the gorgeous details for an “al fresco wedding”. But also, thanks to that beautiful conservatory and the flourishing rose garden patio: those pretty details allowed us to have a traditional english touch to the shooting. Not only, the beautiful hills and countryside we were surrounded by inspired all of us: this rustic-chic styled shoot was held at the beginning of June, when early summer is at its best in Italy.
The light and the stunning landscape put accent on the charm of the bride and her dress by “Le Spose di Andrea”: Andrea choose his very romantic dress Biancospino, that we complemented with the always so oh-stunning sparkly shoes by Anniel. If you’re looking for something particular but extremely versatile for any style of dress, have a look at their beautiful shoes!
Her hair and make up were elegantly done by Lina Pagano: we choose a natural style, to highlight her beauty in such an enchanting and delicate way.
The rings, so quirky and stylish but still very romantic with a vintage touch, were by Golden Age Lab one of our favourite craftsman in Italy: Luca creates stunning pieces, not only as wedding bands but also gorgeous engagement rings. Definitely worth a visit to his website too!
As for the flowers, the lovely design was made by La Fioreria: they opted for a composition of "Blow of cream” Peonies, Tulips, Muscari, Lisianthus, Rose “Mundial", Poppy bulbs Eucalyptus leaves and we all absolutely adored it.
Hello Sunshine Party Wedding Planner set up the beautiful sweet table and as you can see the design and display is just gorgeous! And talking about sweets...we got a sweet tooth thanks to Didi’s Cake who provided us with the cake, macarons, donuts and all the other bonbons. The sweet design was, as you can see, an important part of the shooting, as we could have many details in light blue. So lovely and...delicious!

Alessandra + Paolo - Engagement Session in Oltrepò
Con certe coppie è amore a prima vista. Ci è successo proprio questo con Alessandra e Paolo, già dal primo incontro in cui ci hanno raccontato tutti i dettagli bellissimi che avevano pensato per il loro matrimonio, e ancora di più quando ci siamo rivisti per scattare la loro engagement session sul fiume, con un bouquet di lavanda, qualche polaroid, e candele che non rimanevano accese.
Questa coppia ha davvero qualcosa da insegnare sull'Amore.
With some couples is love at first sight. That's what happened with Alessandra and Paolo, when we first met them and listened to all the great ideas they had for their wedding day, and even more when we shot their engagement session on the river, with a lavender bouquet, some polaroids, and candles that would not stay lit.
These two can really teach something about Love.
