Same-sex elopement in Italy
We instantly felt a deep connection with this lovely pair. Davide and Giuseppe have been together for a lifetime, and they struggled for years to see their union recognized also by the state, but it was prohibited by law, until last year. They couldn't wait anymore, and decided to get married as soon as possible, on a sweet, warm November day, in their beloved Bonassola, a little town not far from Cinque Terre

Here Davide runs a cute and stylish b&b, Cà du Ferrà: we suggest to pay a visit if you find around there!
Their pure happiness, their honesty and authentic feelings inspired us so much. Hope you feel inspired too, because as they said, you need to fight for what you want, and always believe in yourself and in your dreams. What is not possible today, can be possible tomorrow. So wait, patiently, and never give up. Thank you guys.
Alessandra + Diego - engagement session in Oltrepò
When a wedding planner hires you for her wedding, you know you are lucky: everything will be thoughtfully planned and beautifully decorated. And if the couple is also madly in love, and so happy and relax in front of the camera, you definitely know you hit the jackpot.

Juliette + Robin - wedding at Villa Sparina
We feel so privileged when we can work so close to our home, with such amazing weddings!
Juliette and Robin are from England and Germany, but they live and work in Switzerland. The love Italian food and wine, and thought an Italian resort among the vineyards was the perfect venue for their three-day long wedding weekend. Villa Sparina offered all of that, with its breathtaking scenery, ivy-covered ancient buildings and dramatic caves where the dinner was held.
Their amazing planners, Chic Weddings in Italy created for our couple a dreamy ceremony setting

Their amazing planners, Chic Weddings in Italy created for our couple a dreamy ceremony setting under the trees, a first rustic happy hour, and an amazing black tie event for the night. The venue's caterer spoiled the guests with the most creative food and wine choices, and a great music band, Damien McFly, brought everyone (and we mean everyone) on the dance floor for a night that was nothing short of amazing.
So, if vineyards, rustic chic style and outdoor ceremonies are your thing, be sure not to miss this!
Thank you Juliette and Robin, and the amazing team of our dearest Chic Weddings in Italy.

Roberta + Domenico - Romantic courtyard wedding at Castello di Paderna
Sometimes we wonder if the right clients find us or if it's the other way round. Anyway, with Roberta and Domenico we felt that it was a perfect match. Because, you can only imagine how happy we are when in beautiful old castles with a rustic touch, between flowers, both real, by the always amazing Il Profumo dei Fiori, and printed, on the gorgeous stationery by Ila Malu.

Pink, blush and lavender silk, the most-fabulous-wedding-dress-ever, and a dreamy table setting made all the rest.
Also, we love to work with a great team, because it's so much easy, and way funnier. So thank you to each one of you, and thank you to Roberta and Domenico, for the smiles, and the smiles between the tears, which are our absolute fav.

Francesca + Filippo - couple session in the hills
You know how much we love to shoot couples: love sessions are just our fav, and we are even happier when our couples open the door of their houses to let us into their world. We really have the chance to know them better, and that's vitally important for our work. This time we couldn't be more at ease with this easy going, cat lover, tv series freak pair.

We really have the chance to know them better, and that's vitally important for our work. This time we couldn't be more at ease with this easy going, cat lover, tv series freak pair. And as they love the place where we live as much as we do, we just took the car and drove around the hills to find the best spots. And believe us, it was worth it.
Sapete quanto ci piace fotografare coppie: le love session sono fra i nostri servizi preferiti, e siamo ancora più felici quando le nostre coppie ci aprono le porte della loro casa, e ci lasciano mettere piede nel loro mondo. Riusciamo a conoscerli meglio, a diventare qualcosa in più di fotografi e clienti, e questo per noi è fondamentale per fare bene il nostro lavoro. Questa volta non potevamo trovarci più a nostro agio, con Francesca e Filippo: rilassati, divertenti, amanti dei gatti e delle serie tv, proprio come noi. In più, visto che anche loro adorano le nostre colline, non hanno avuto da ridire alla nostra idea di salire in macchina e semplicemente guidare senza meta, in cerca dei posti migliori. E credeteci, ne è valsa la pena.
