I made this photo shoot for the famous Wedding Cake Designer Melanie, I often worked with her for weddings and events in Florence.
On this occasion I was able to photograph a special cake, very high, and very difficult in its implementation.

More than 8000 sugar flowers handmade have adorned the cake almost 2.50 meters high. The wedding was held in one of the most exclusive locations in Florence, the Four Season.

An incredible set-up for the floral decorations by Vincenzo Dascanio.

The protagonists of this marriage are two English guys who decided to get married in Tuscany.

Along with the bride and groom were many of their friends, the bridesmaids and the best friends of the bridegroom.

Obviously even their closest walls. All together to celebrate. An excellent organization thanks to Gillian that he thought of all the details for even the appearance of wedding photography.

There was a fantastic bus Volkswagen, in vintage style. The groom and his witnesses had worn cufflinks in the shape identical to the van.

We also see the pictures of the wedding as you are all a blast! Immediately after the ceremony to refresh the hot summer day, there was ice cream, the kids immediately took the chocolate.

We finished the photographic record of the marriage with the launch of the bouquet that is finished in the incredible Villa hedge that houses the English marriage, background unmistakable towers of San Gimignano.

With this album I participated in the 2016 ANFM competition.  I tried to tell a story, the beginning of a journey of two people and two hearts, a marriage, the emotions and atmosphere.

Special thanks to Serena Fineschi for her moral and structural support.

Wedding in Zermatt, Switzerland.

Mount Matterhorn in Switzerland is the background for this couple, that moved to the charming town of Zermatt.

Wedding participants came from all over Europe to share this special moment with Patricia and Raul.

The beautiful  Hotel “Il Cervo”  with its spectacular view over the Swiss Alps was the perfect backdrop for the preparations and dinner.

A natural scenery admired throughout the world.

In the warm end of August a tender, loving couple decides to get married between the hills of Versilia, a popular beach location on the Tuscan coast.

The gentle shades of olive trees, surrounding the magnificent garden of the church, are the perfect place for the ceremony.

The reception was held in Villa Paolina, with breathtaking views of the sea and the hills. The feeling of happiness and joy was embracing everybody.

Beautiful pictures in their residence in Florence: Villa Cora

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… !

The wedding film captures the newlyweds, their guests and as well the atmosphere, the taste and smell of this unique territory.

Every thing starts in the historical place of the tuna fishery, where the fish is caught, processed and canned in colorful tins.

The bride and groom, accompanied by the tender island winds received their guests at the shore of the sea surrounded by unique and breathtaking colors.

Thanks a Marica Events
