Sofia + Martin - a romantic al fresco wedding in Tuscany
For their Italian destination wedding Sofia and Martin decided to gather family and friends from all over the world to Borgo Sant'Ambrogio, a true heaven on earth like venue nestled among the Tuscan hills of Pienza, near Siena.
The garden of the wine estate hosted both the ceremony and the reception, serving both as a couple session backdrop and as an incredible venue for all the guests and the newlyweds.

Together with their planner, Alessia B., and florists, they decided not to have too many decorations, as the location itself offered lots of stonework, terracotta pots and beautiful greenery that already perfectly decorated the place.
The flowers though, offered a chance to be bold: the earth tones of the venue are punctuated by bright accent colors like purple and burgundy, in the amazing stone pots during ceremony, and in the bouquets of the bride and bridesmaids.
The dinner was held in front of the ancient villa, with two imperial tables and string lights to create a sweet atmosphere, that screams La Dolce Vita charm.

Natalia + James - intimate wedding in Langhe
Did we already mention that we love Langhe? Since this amazing boho wedding, we think that they are one of the most beautiful, yet underrated places of our country. When Natalia and James contacted us for their wedding right in the heart of Langhe, we were so happy to have a chance to come back to those hills and vineyards! Since Natalia's parents left England to move there, and perfectly knew the place, they were good enough to find out one of the best Relais in the Asti region: the Locanda Sant'Uffizio, a true heaven-on-heart, where the whole wedding took place.

We definitely have a thing for intimate weddings like this one, where all the fuzz and stress is left outside, the guests are really people you can't wait to meet and hug on your wedding day and speeches are emotional and heartfelt.
Thank you to this sweet couple for having us there, and a special thanks to Giulia Formica Photography, for second shooting.

Spenser + Magnus - an intimate Lake Como wedding
When Spenser, a sweet American girl, met Magnus, a charming Swedish guy, it was love at first sight. Their life has always been on the move, but even if they now call Sweden home, they wanted to find somewhere really special to gather family and friends for their wedding day.
Villa Regina Teodolinda seemed the perfect place, with its breathtaking views over Lake Como, and its elegant and classy Italian atmosphere.

Since it was an intimate wedding (yay for intimate weddings!), they could easily accomodate all of their guests at the villa and the whole day took place right there, from the getting ready, to the lovely civil ceremony in the terrace overlooking the Lake, to the reception, in the great room, with a perfectly decorated imperial table and some amazing food served by the catering. A quick move of the tables, and the room was ready for the party and dancing, and oh boy, they danced all night long with the loveliest smiles on their faces!
Enjoy this simple yet effortlessly chic wedding!

Superb food and wine by Galateo were served all night long, at the a-ma-zing table set up by Chiara Sernesi (Weddings in Tuscany) and her team, with the help of Florum floral designers.
It was great to share this special day with the girls at Gattotigre Video: for once, we were a women-only team ready to capture the most romantic and feminine details of this special Tuscan wedding day.

Bénédicte + Romain - wedding photography in the French Alps
When Bénédicte and Romain emailed us for their wedding, we knew almost nothing about French Alps, and yet we were absolutely fascinated by the photos we had seen and secretly hoped to visit those places one day. So, imagine how incredibly excited we were to have the opportunity to travel there for this lovely couple's wedding. Not far from the sandy beaches of the French Riviera and the typical, sunny towns of Provence, there is a whole world of mountain villages, forts and dramatic landscapes we couldn't wait to discover and shoot.

We really got to confirm our excitement for this corner of the world and, most of all, we loved to share a couple of days with amazing people who stated from the very beginning the idea that a wedding party should be first of all a day you spend with the people you love, doing what you love, whatever this means to you. And for Bénédicte and Romain and their families that meant mostly chilling in the old and beautiful family home, laughing, eating delicious food and reckless dancing into the night.
What's not to love about them?
