In my career I have had the pleasure of capturing some of the most beautiful and romantic moments of couples from all over the world. However, there is something truly special about classic Italian weddings and the wedding of this young and fun couple from Florence was no exception.
The day started at their beautiful home in Florence, where the bride and groom got ready for their big day surrounded by their closest friends and family. As a wedding photographer, I always love capturing these intimate moments, as they provide a glimpse into the couple’s personal lives and add a unique touch to their wedding story.
The couple then made their way to the Chiesa di Ognissanti, an old church in the heart of Florence by the river Arno, for their Catholic ceremony. The church provided the perfect backdrop for this traditional ceremony, and I took care of capturing the shots of the couple exchanging their vows.
After the ceremony, we took advantage of the beautiful city of Florence and shot some portrait pictures of the couple in the city before moving to the Antica Fattoria di Paterno in Montespertoli, their wedding venue. The drive to the venue was breathtaking, and I was able to capture some stunning shots of the Tuscan countryside along the way.
Once we arrived at the venue, we took advantage of the beautiful sunset and shot some portraits of the couple before dinner. The dinner was held in the garden under the starry sky, which created a romantic and intimate atmosphere. The cake cutting was a sweet moment, and I was able to capture the couple’s joy and excitement in their faces.
After the cake cutting, it was time for the couple’s first dance, and the party started. Italian weddings are notorious for their long party times, and this was no exception. I must admit, as a wedding photographer, it was more stressful than doing everything in one location, and we did lose precious time for transfers. However, it was all worth it in the end as we were able to capture the feeling of local weddings once again.
