Every wedding is a unique experience for me but this wedding I shot last July was particularly special.
The wedding was held at the beautiful Fattoria Casa Sola in the beautiful area of Chianti, and it was held in the hottest day of the year. Shooting a wedding in the sweltering heat was definitely a challenge but I was determined to capture every special moment for the couple.
The couple was from England and they had underestimated the heat of an Italian summer so we had to postpone the ceremony to avoid the midday sun but luckily, everything went according to plan.
The wedding ceremony was held in a beautiful court and the couple exchanged vows in front of family and friends, it was a touching moment for everyone present.
The reception was equally stunning and the light breeze of the late afternoon gave a boost to the party!
The guests enjoyed delicious Italian food and wine and they danced the night away under the stars. I made sure to capture every moment and, since the couple had a perfect chemistry and it was evident in every picture I took, this really helped me doing my best.
Despite the heat, I managed to keep my cool and focus on my work since I wanted to make sure that the pictures captured the essence of the wedding day and I must say I am pleased with the results. I decided to present the work (just on the website) in a few selection of black and white pictures as it adds a timeless and classic feel to the photos.
It’s not something that I usually do but…hey… sometimes we need a little change !
Overall, it was a challenging but rewarding experience. The couple was thrilled with the pictures and they said that it brought back all the wonderful memories of their special day. I am grateful to have been a part of their celebration and I look forward to capturing more beautiful weddings at Fattoria Casa Sola in the future!
