Valdirose - on film
At Valdirose, everything speaks of details carefully planned, traditions of the past, and memories of happy moments. How could we not shoot in there in a similar way? Film, and our vintage cameras, in our opinion perfectly suggest the mood of the place, but anyhow, you should really pay a visit to discover two beautiful souls, Paolo and Irene, to taste their cakes and to savor their enchanting tuscan accent.

They are a breathe of fresh air both for your mind and heart.

Al Valdirose, tutto parla di attenzione ai dettagli, di rispetto per le tradizioni del passato e ricordi di momenti felici. Come potevamo non fotografarlo con un mezzo che rendesse onore a tutto questo? La pellicola, e le nostre macchine fotografiche ormai vintage, possono suggerirne l'atmosfera, ma vi consigliamo di visitarlo di persona, di sedervi a chiacchierare con Irene e Paolo, di assaggiare i loro dolci e lasciarvi cullare dal loro accento toscano.
Sono ossigeno per la mente, e per il cuore.

Chiara + Francesco - a summer wedding at Convento dell'Annunciata
Since the day of their engagement - that was, actually, a photo session with their friends in a beautiful wine resort in the hills - Chiara and Francesco feeded our excitement with details about their wedding.
We just knew that the theme was A midsummer's night dream, and there would have been colors, a dinner in the woods and fairylights. But when August 6th finally came, it turned out there was so much more: the amazing girls at Ila Malù carefully planned so many wonderful details that they left us completely speechless.

What we said, to give you some sense of how much we loved everything, is that if it was our wedding, it wouldn't have been much different.
Thank you Chiara and Francesco for having us with you!

Maternity shooting
We think of maternity shootings as a way to create lovely memories of the special bond between mothers and babies, even before giving birth. The way they look at their belly, the softness of their touch, the smiles at the thought of what will be in few days or months... a life changing experience, that deserves to be remembered forever, even in its early stages.

On an early summer afternoon, in a beautiful little beach in Genova, we met Gaia, with her lovely dress and flowers in her hair. She's gorgeous and her beauty shines even more when she talks with dreamy eyes about her beautiful baby boy, Giovanni.
Siamo convinte che i servizi maternity siano un modo splendido di creare ricordi del legame speciale fra mamme e bimbi, ancora prima del parto. Il modo in cui guardano il pancione, la dolcezza con cui lo accarezzano, i loro sorrisi, al pensiero di quello che succederà di lì a pochi giorni, o pochi mesi... è un'esperienza che cambia la vita, e secondo noi merita di essere ricordata per sempre, anche nelle sue prime fasi.
In un pomeriggio di inizio estate, in una splendida spiaggetta di Genova, abbiamo incontrato Gaia, con il suo vestito rosa e fiori nei capelli. È bellissima, e la sua bellezza risplende ancora di più, quando parla con l'emozione negli occhi, del suo bellissimo bimbo, Giovanni.
Ilaria + Emanuele - an outdoor boho wedding in Langhe
When we met Ilaria and Emanuele in Torino for their engagement session, they had already carefully planned their wedding day, with a simple and informal ceremony in the woods, a dinner in the garden and lots of little personal touches to share with their families and friends. They were the easiest and most relaxed couple to work with, and we knew their wedding would have been amazing. And it was, even if it rained. Like, a lot.

We always say that you can do nothing against rain on your wedding day, apart from embracing it, and take the most out of it. And that's exactly what they did: the bravely stood under the rain while we were taking pictures, and kissed, and danced, and laughed together.
In the end, everything turned out even more beautiful than expected. That's the kind of things that happen when two people fall in love.

Reagan + Josh - destination wedding in Vincigliata, Tuscany
We always welcome a wedding in Florence request with smiles and happy dances, because it's no secret we love this city, but we didn't know this one would have been so special for more than one reason.
We only exchanged long emails with Reagan, but we already knew she was the kindest and sweetest bride to work with. We'll never forget our first hug, in Florence, like we were old friends, and the warm welcome by her family who treated us like special guests and never stopped saying thank you for our work, all day long. Yeah, people like this really exist!

Reagan, Josh and their families went through a lot in the past years, and this added a wonderful emotional value to the day: they have been lucky, and they never cease to show how grateful they are about that.
That would have been a good enough reason there wasn't a dry eye in the house, but at the end of their beautiful day in stunning Vincigliata , Josh's brother and his family, who had problems with passports and couldn't make it to the wedding, arrived unexpectedly at the castle and joined their closest family and friends for the rest of the night. Their entrance, and the bride and groom reaction was a memory we'll forever treasure in our heart.
