Erin + Robert - Love session in Lake Como

Erin and Robert flew over from Washington D.C. to spend their holidays in Europe, and contacted us to have a couple session in wonderful Lake Como. The day when their session was planned there was a real thunderstorm, and we had to move everything to the day after, when they were supposed to get back home. So we decided to meet at dawn, in Bellagio, and this was one of the best choices we ever made: the village was silent and calm, no tourists and people around, and all those beautiful alleys, gardens and terraces on the lake just for us. Their love and smiles made the rest.

Erin e Robert sono venuti da Washington D.C. a passare le loro vacanze in Europa, e ci hanno contattato per un servizio di coppia nella splendida cornice del lago di Como. Il giorno in cui avevamo fissato la loro session, una vera e propria tempesta ci ha costretto a rimandarla al giorno seguente, quando loro sarebbero dovuti ripartire. Per questo, abbiamo deciso di incontrarci all'alba a Bellagio, e questa si è rivelata una delle decisioni migliori che abbiamo mai preso: il paese era calmo e silenzioso, non c'erano folla e turisti in giro, e avevamo tutte quelle splendide stradine, quei giardini e le terrazze affacciate sul lago tutte per noi. Il loro amore, e i loro sorrisi hanno fatto il resto.

Gloria + Umberto - matrimonio al Borgo della Rocca

With some couple it's love at first sight. 

We met Gloria and Umberto last year, and now we are proud to call them friends. They are lovely and sensitive souls, and their love for each other is deep and inspiring.

On their wedding day, they gathered family and friends from Italy and from London, the city they love and lived in for some years, for an intimate and oh-so-very emotional ceremony under the trees. The following party was one of the craziest one we ever attended to: photobooth, whigs, dancing and singing was involved - go on and see!

Con certe coppie è amore a prima vista.

abbiamo conosciuto Gloria e Umberto l'anno scorso, e ora siamo felici di poterli chiamare amici. Sono persone adorabili ed estremamente sensibili, e il loro amore è profondo e capace di ispirare gli altri.

Nel giorno del loro matrimonio hanno radunato famiglia e amici dall'Italia e da Londra, la città che amano e in cui sono vissuti per qualche anno, per una cerimonia intima e particolarmente commovente in una piccola pineta. La festa che è seguita è stata una delle più coinvolgenti e pazze a cui abbiamo assistito, con Photo Booth, parrucche, canti e balli - proseguite e vedrete!

Ettore - servizio newborn

Today we are taking a little break from the wedding season and we want to show you another kind of session we are particularly fond of. Newborn sessions are so much fun! We love to think about themes & props, and to take time to cuddle the babies between the photos. Everything is quite fast, because we don't want to get them tired or angry, but you don't need so much time to get good shots.

Here you can meet Ettore, who was very patient with us, and let us play with some graphics during editing. Enjoy!

Oggi ci prendiamo una piccola pausa dalla stagione di matrimoni per mostrarvi un altro tipo di servizio a cui siamo particolarmente affezionate. Le newborn session sono davvero divertenti! Ci piace pensare ai temi e ai props, e prenderci tempo fra uno scatto e l'altro per coccolare i bimbi. È tutto piuttosto veloce, perché non vogliamo che i piccoli si stanchino o si arrabbino, ma dopotutto non serve molto tempo per avere buoni scatti.

Oggi conoscerete Ettore, che è stato estremamente paziente, e ci ha permesso di giocare un po' con la grafica in postproduzione. Enjoy!

Siobhan + Chris - wedding in Villa la Vedetta, Florence

Siobhan and Chris's wedding came after a very intense week for us. We had just come back from our trip to London, had a wedding weekend and needed to leave shortly after that for Tuscany. Magically, any sign of weariness completely disappeared the moment we arrived in Florence. We love this city, and we felt really privileged to share with our clients and their guests a very special night at Villa la Vedetta. The view from their terrace is just insane, and summer gifted us with one of the most amazing sunset we have ever seen.

Siobhan and Chris are a sweet and lovely couple. They asked to their families and friends to join them for their destination wedding, and wanted a no-fuss, laid-back event, so they asked us to do just a reportage of the day, with no formals and no posed photos. We loved the challenge, and really liked the atmosphere, so relaxed and inviting. Hope you are going to love it too.

Tuscany wedding

You know we are in love with bright and sunny photos. But lately we started to appreciate more and more low light situations. Especially if the view is breathtaking. These shots were taken during the reception of an amazing wedding in Villa La Vedetta, Florence. 

We feel privileged to work in such beautiful locations, and we know you are going to love this entire wedding, styled and planned by Weddings in Italy. It will hit the blog in few days, so stay tuned!
