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

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 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.
Aurélia + François - destination wedding in Italy
Just imagine a French couple, who wants to get married in a little church up on a steep paved road in Switzerland, but also wants to party with in an old, fascinating Italian palace, with Italian food and wine. Done? Well, you have just imagined Aurélia and François' wedding day, planned to perfection by the super talented Laura Dova, with the help of amazing vendors like Fiori da Favola and Paola Bianchera Make Up.

This melting pot of countries, traditions and languages invaded the little village of Castello Cabiaglio, and with the help of the team at Palazzo Ronchelli, everyone had a place to stay for the night right there, among the Italian mountains and not far by the lovely lake Lugano.
And oh, the view when you reached the church in Morcote, Switzerland! The guests were so amazed they really couldn't help but staying a little more, taking some more pictures and simply enjoying the breathtaking views with a warm sun on their faces. Little did they know about what they would have found at the reception: dramatic and perfectly decorated imperial tables, some great aperitivi and a stunning dinner setup, and an all night long party.
Valentina + Domenico - a winter engagement
We are always a bit worried when planning an engagement session during winter. We know very well that light plays the most important role in our work, and winter round here can be foggy and moody: not exactly the light we love! Anyway, with Valentina and Domenico, we completely made up our minds: winter light can be beautiful, soft and dreamy as in the best summer sunsets, and we couldn't be happier with the way the photos turned out!

Of course, we also need to thank our subjects: the shared laughs, the way they look at each other, and their easy going mood really allowed us to connect with them. And in our work, connection with our clients is the key.
Siamo sempre un po' in ansia quando programmiamo un servizio di coppia in inverno. Sappiamo molto bene che la luce gioca un ruolo fondamentale nel nostro lavoro, e l'inverno da queste parti prevede solitamente nebbia e grigiore: non esattamente il tipo di atmosfera che preferiamo! Eppure, con Valentina e Domenico, ci siamo dovute ricredere: la luce invernale può essere splendida, dolce e delicata, come quella dei migliori tramonti d'estate, e non potremmo essere più felici del risultato di queste foto.
Ovvio, dobbiamo ringraziare anche i nostri soggetti: le risate condivise, il modo in cui si guardano, la loro disinvoltura davanti all'obiettivo, ci ha davvero permesso di stabilire con loro una bella connessione, e questo è il vero segreto per far bene il nostro lavoro.
