I did not know the Wedding in Vicarello Castle , the first time I received the request for a wedding photo reportage.
I went to Google for information on the estate, tried to understand where it was and what it was like.
The Instagram page is very curated and I have discovered a wonderful place.
When we arrived on the day of the wedding, it was early.
We had time to get to know the small village well, also to know the history of the birth and growth of the village.
Vanessa showed us the inside and told us how the idea for this incredible place was born.
The family behind all this, the hospitality and the wise management.
A notable part is the “small gallery” of pieces of art scattered in almost all the suites of the Castello di Vicarello.
Not only of the hotel but of everything related to a real estate.
The production of wine, for example, the pride of the family, one of the sons takes care of this part, with impressive care, of the impeccable and also very particular vineyards, with the arch shape.
After some time we finally meet the newlyweds who are really very nice, throughout the Castle there are the guests of the couple who take time before the wedding, using the two swimming pools of the estate.
Let’s start with the photos of the invitations and with some accessories of the newlyweds.
Each accessory is beautiful, like Van Cleef’s earrings in bright green in its foamy four-leaf clover shape. Green like Manolo Blahnik’s silk shoes. And to finish off Cartier wedding rings with the classic three golds.
The hot day starts early, and the preparations for the ceremony are now at the end.
The bride and groom go out and in the garden in front of all the guests they declare themselves.
Finally the party begins and everything is very well cared for. The outdoor wooden tables are sprinkled with a thousand flowers and the small lights and candles illuminate the evening.
With a dance stroke we leave the Castle and its guests to return home, as if we had lived in a fairy tale for a day.
Thanks to Simone for the incredible photos he took with the drone and Rita’s attention to detail who gave us a hand throughout the day.

A few months before the wedding Veronika sent me an email telling me that they will make a Luxury Wedding in Florence at the Riva Loft, it is the first time that I have received a wedding request in this space.
A few months later I meet the couple with Simone. We know each other and I immediately understand that they are not only incredibly beautiful, but they are extremely nice and kind, I wanted to start photographing them right away.
The wedding day is very hot, in the middle of August, the city is practically deserted, everyone is at the sea, but the view of the swimming pool refreshes us and preparations begin.
Riva Lofts is a precious jewel nestled on the left bank of the Arno, just a stone’s throw from the renaissance centre of Florence.
After the ceremony, a short walk to take some photographic shots in the Renaissance frame of the Uffizi Gallery, up to the Ponte Vecchio.
Now the sun is setting, let’s go back to the hotel, in the garden by the pool they have prepared the imperial table, with a truly impeccable floral arrangement.
The colors are all harmonious with each other, and the strands of lights fall perfectly on the table, the glance is really beautiful.
Like any self-respecting party, it can only end with a bath with clothes, guests have fun and dance celebrating the bride and groom.
Thanks to Simone and Rita who helped me in this story, and to Alessandro who made the video.

Great Beauty Wedding in Rome
Giulia and Markus
Wedding Planner: Diletta Alliata Events

Thank you: Leica Camera Italia
The city of Rome has always been a great love for me. The eternal city, where everything is opulent, majestic, historical.
I have many memories related to the city, which has always excited me for its Great Beauty Wedding in Rome and for the emotions that assail you in every corner of the streets.
With this load of emotions I met the protagonists of this story: Giulia and Markus. A mixture of backgrounds, exactly as I like it, have given me the opportunity to read and write their emotions.
For this special occasion I decided to shoot with three different Leica: in addition to my SL and Q I also brought an M.
The director of the cameras, the most difficult, the most historic. Like the city of Rome.
Markus, the groom, is a great photography enthusiast, especially of Leica. An incentive to do even better.
Suggestive was the choice of the Orthodox church with an incredible view over the whole city.
After the ceremony full of Russian Orthodox colors and songs, we moved to Rome for some photos. Inevitable, a small ride in the city center. Wedding photo in Rome!
In the background the Castel Sant’Angelo and the newlyweds in the foreground.
Towards evening a castle opens in front of my eyes surrounded by greenery and in the fall of the fog, it enveloped the happiness of the spouses and undoubtedly mine too.
As every time this city has welcomed me and displaced me, it has made me feel an integral part, as if in a past life I have lived in Rome.
Grazie Roma.
La città di Roma è sempre stata per me un grande amore. La città eterna, dove tutto è opulente, maestoso, storico.
Ho molti ricordi legati alla città, che mi ha sempre emozionata per la sua “Grande Bellezza” che per le emozioni che in ogni angolo delle strade ti assale.
Con questo carico di emozioni ho incontrato i protagonisti di questa storia: Giulia e Markus.
Un misto di provenienze, esattamente come piace a me, mi hanno dato la possibilità di leggere e scrivere le loro di emozioni.
Per questa occasione speciale ho deciso di scattare con tre Leica diverse: oltre alle mie SL e Q ho portato anche una M. La regista delle macchine fotografiche, la più difficile, la più storica.
Come la città di Roma. Markus, lo sposo, è un grande appassionato di fotografia, soprattutto di Leica. Un incentivo per fare ancora meglio.
Suggestiva è stata la scelta della chiesa ortodossa con una incredibile vista su tutta la città.
Finita la cerimonia carica di colori e di canti russi-ortodossi, ci siamo spostati per qualche foto per Roma. Immancabile, un piccolo giro in centro alla città.
Wedding photo in Rome! Di sfondo il Castel Sant’Angelo e gli sposi in primo piano.
Verso sera si apre davanti ai miei occhi un castello immerso nel verde e nel calare della nebbia, avvolgeva la felicità degli sposi e indubbiamente anche la mia.
Come ogni volta questa città mi ha accolto e spiazzato, mi ha fatto sentire parte integrante, come se in una vita passata io abbia vissuto a Roma.

Wedding Planner: Wedding Tuscan Dream
I met this married couple in July, they arrived from Switzerland to make a final inspection before the day of their romantic wedding in Tuscany.
They strongly wanted this wedding in the Tuscan hills, La Fattoria La Loggia is an enchanting place equipped with contemporary works of art and typical corners of the local culture,
hills of vineyards around us to complete the beauty of the location.
Truly a romantic Tuscan wedding, few guests also to comply with the anti Covid-19
regulations that have not prevented us from giving us a perfect party.
Erica’s organization has also allowed the success of this event and I am always happy to be able to work with professionals.
To top off the catering service was truly excellent, Le Cirque set up a perfect dinner.
Tanja and Remo have realized their dream in the Tuscan hills, a few steps from Florence, among the vineyards and the centuries-old cypresses.
They brought their love and I hope to have told it with my photography in the best way, the naturalness of colors and light.

A wonderful German couple has chosen to celebrate their wedding in one of the most suggestive locations in Tuscany,
surrounded by the “Cipressi” and the famous “Crete Senesi” that are the background to their promises of wedding in Val D’Orcia.
The bride and groom exchanged their promises with the consecration of a special celebrity coming directly from Sardinia.
Guests from all over Europe, dined under the stars of the large courtyard of the structure, with threads of lights that created a wonderful atmosphere.
The flowers of the exhibition are very well kept.

Wedding Photographer in Tuscany
The most romantic wedding film I’ve made in recent years starts with light shining through drops of rain, that sparkle in the air.
Right in the heart of Tuscany, in the magical village of Certaldo the atmosphere is just inimitable.
Luckily after a while the sun came out and we could start filming the typical cypress trees and the romantic walk … for a Romantic Wedding Film!
With the sunset came the cool summer evening and the last glimpses of golden light offered us the final scene for the wedding film.

This couple from Hong Kong called me to capture in pictures their engagement.
Both cute and fanny, it was a true pleasure to stroll around the historic center of Florence until we reached the hills surrounding the city.
We ended the day at Piazzale Michelangelo, a terrace slightly above the city, with a magical sunset that gave way to a romantic evening.
With this romantic and dreamy atmosphere finished our day.

Last year, on September 10th, I was driving to San Galgano in Tenuta di Papena, a small town in the outskirts of Siena which I particularly love and which was the place of a very special wedding.
I was so much looking forward to that day and really excited for a wedding which meant a lot to me; my first Same Sex Photographer! I was thrilled at the idea of being their photographer.
Such an emotion when I was finally introduced to the brides! The two women came from a small town by the sea in Scotland and they were so different !
Laura full of tattoos all over her arms and very shy while Melanie was cheerful and very self-confident. They were the image of happiness…
While friends and relatives were helping with the preparations, the girls shared with me their emotions before the ceremony got started. Two brides, two bouquets, two pair of heel shoes.
Under the late summer sun of the beautiful Tuscan countryside, when the guests were sitting on bales of hay, the celebration started.
The hills in the background framed the two brides while exchanging their marriage vows and their love for each other.
I felt honored I was there immortalizing such a precious moment and all in the sudden I realized that something had finally changed in Italy as well thanks to a law which legitimizes Love in all its shades.
After the last dances, it was time for me to say good bye.
I hugged “my” two brides with the heart full of joy and excitement.
I went back home where my partner and my family was waiting for me …. I looked at them and thought…. “I hope that one day I will personally experience a day like this”
And now I am looking forward to it.
I feel that it will be soon… !
