Engagement session of two bride- and- groom -to -be coming from Edinburgh, with the Tuscan countryside as background A quiet Thursday afternoon, the sun finally peering through the clouds after a all morning long rain, and a brand new Scottish couple to meet, Annie and Darren, going to get married in May. After some mishaps due to a not too sure navigator, we reach the bride- and- groom -to –be in Segromigno in Monte, at the villa they chose for their wedding and together we decide to move around the neighborhood to take the pictures of their engagement. After a couple of bends we reach the beautiful avenue that leads to Villa Torrigiani, one of the most beautiful villas in Lucca; it’s so beautiful that it is part of renowned tour of the Villas that includes also Villa Mansi, Villa Grabau, Villa Oliva, and many more. Among these, also the [...]
The most exclusive wedding is on Tuscany hills Last time we finished by celebrating the aesthetic beauties of the wonderful Farm of Paterno, a spectacular seventeenth century villa standing on the mild Tuscan hills. Now it’s the case maybe to analyze its functionalities, according to the most beautiful thing it offers: a perfect scenery to take beautiful pictures. Definitely, it’s the ideal place for a photo session: considering the environment’s amenities, you’ll be spoilt for choice. Besides the panorama and the natural frames of the part open to the public, the owner often allows the wedding couple the use of the garden and the swimming pool just for the photos. The interiors of the villa are provided with big windows- perfect for portrait sessions- and a zone sprinkled with old and suggestive wine barrels, and a spiral wrought iron staircase, which are providential and charming as the exteriors, in case [...]
The most exclusive wedding is on Tuscany hills The old Farm of Paterno is an exclusive international location close to Castelfiorentino and Empoli, at less than one hour from Florence and its famous museums. The villa is plunged into the mild hills of Tuscany and is one of the most beautiful places where to celebrate and organize a wedding. To describe such a charming environment is as difficult as to explain with words the emotions you feel when you see the building for the first time. First of all, the villa is fit out by the owner, who lives in the adjacent Farm, in a skillful way and with extreme good taste; the architecture is perfectly integrated with the vegetation and the surrounding nature: you can often see walls plowed by climbing plants and the windows and the arcades that make space through the green and thriving ivy. Every part [...]
Getting married on the seashore: a fairytale among the waves Let’s say the truth: who has never come under the spell of the idea of a wedding on the beach, with the sound of the waves, the salty tang and the sea standing out in front of you? The sea scenery, in particular if supplied with white curtains, candles and flowers, lends itself more than any other thing to set up a fairytale wedding. In the United Stated it’s a very successful custom; it seems, instead, a little more difficult- at least according to the bureaucratic practices- here in Italy. Surely, on such an important day, one should not renounce their own wishes: you need the right amount of determination, very clear ideas and everything becomes realizable. If you’re planning a religious ceremony, it will be enough to find a priest who agrees to follow you to the seashore; if, [...]
the pictures of a weekend vacation in the eternal city What are two wedding-photographers up to during the cold season? Everybody thinks that our winters are all about good sleeps and relax… Actually we work hard, we deliver the photo books to those couples who got married in 2011, we make an appointment with those who are going to get married in 2012 and we spend a lot of time answering to many demands. Still, I prefer working on the field. Therefore I can easily find, and I’m really great at this, at least 10 good reasons to go on holiday every morning when I wake up. Rome, indeed, offers me many other occasions to think so: avoiding the fact that I haven’t visited the city for the last 12 years, I believe that the anniversary of the unification of Italy and the will to visit the Vatican Museums are [...]
PHOTO STORY OF THE WEDDING ON THE BEACH OF TWO PHOTOGRAPHERS Chapter one Later we remained alone with the wedding couple and their daugher to shot some photos along the foreshore. We had the chance to catch a beautiful sunset: with the eye in the lens we waited for the twilight before going back to bathing establishment, chosen as location of the party. The evening was top class : fish crudités as starter, fish-based dinner, and chocolate and rum tasting, along with cigars imported from Cuba. The mastery of “Love, Home and Design” ’s wedding planner Alessandra, from Marina di Carrara, also this time allowed guests to spend a beautiful evening: the good food, the great wine, the perfect temperature of an evening at the end of summer, came with us to the beach, where, in the end, was foreseen the throwing of the flying lanterns. Then, along with the [...]
Polina and Yuri the tale of the event of the year. Every time we go back to Venice, it’s still like the first time. The Venetian city offers always new and unique glimpses, especially for the photo session of the wedding. It could be the water, the people who live there or just the surrounding atmosphere, we love it and we never lose the chance to dedicate a little part of the day to take a look and walk fascinated around the streets of the city. We got the chance to go back to Venice from a special couple , Polina and Yuri, arrived in the Venetian city to fulfill their love dream. The two got ready at the Danieli Hotel, right in front of the lagoon. The hotel is striking, extra luxury in typical Venetian style; big arch glass doors are spaced out by lovely terraces overlooking the hall; [...]
Tuscany Villa. Your wedding should be in the most spectacular area. It’s your special day, and you should want to hold it someplace that matches your magical theme. Many wedding locations in Tuscany are perfect for a special day. Places like Milan and Venice tend to hide away these other lovely places in Italy. They can be up in the Chianti Mountains, or in beautiful Florence. Other places in between can host your wedding and still make your day special. These are just a few places you can consider when looking for a place to do your wedding. The area of Lucca, located in Italy, has an extraordinary medieval style to it. These villas maintain the original structure of the older renaissance times. Most furniture within the villas is modern, but they restore the villa to keep the original look. It captures a bit of history inside its pleasantly done [...]
Photographs taken during Pitti Immagine in Florence Usually we take care of the photography of weddings, but not always. In fact, the world of worldly affairs with its fast-paced rhythm and the intermediate lights attracts and fascinates us: hard to resist to a photo shoot in the midst of the Florentine glamour. The only common denominator of the two worlds is the research of brilliant and refined images, on which we invest our energies, both on the wedding fields as the fashion one. This year we documented the cult of fashion in Tuscany by Desmo, historical brands of purses and a symbol of the Made in Italy brand worldwide. We are talking about Pitti Immagine. The first day of the show, the boutique Desmo in Via Tornabuoni in Florence accommodated the Chinese delegation, offering a cocktail party in honor of the Chinese consulate in Italy Zhou Yunqi, present for the [...]
