I had the privilege of capturing the joy of an Italian couple surrounded by family, love, and timeless tradition.
Silvia and Marco had attended a wedding in July and, after experiencing the Summer heat as wedding guests, had decided to choose a much cooler time of the year for their own celebration.
A Saturday in January would be the perfect contrast to the scorching Summer months they’d experienced.
And, despite the chilly temperatures, their big day was filled with warmth, as family gathered from near and far to celebrate this special union, in a beautiful church in Pordenone, North East Italy.
One of the most touching details of the day was the bride’s gown. It wasn’t just any wedding dress—it had been worn by her mother, her two aunts, and her grandmother, three generations of women, all of whom happily witnessed the beginning of this new chapter in the family history.
Capturing this moment was a true honor; there was so much meaning in the way the bride wore it, surrounded by family who had all experienced the same sense of love and legacy.
After the ceremony, we took the couple to the stunning Castle of Conegliano for their photoshoot. The winter sunlight illuminated the castle’s ancient stone walls, and the backdrop of the snow-covered hills far away created a breathtaking scene.
It was a perfect setting for capturing Silvia and Marco's joy and the love that filled the air, making for some truly memorable photographs.
The day ended with a reception surrounded by close family and friends. There was laughter, and heartfelt toasts, and plenty of photos to celebrate this beautiful union. Despite the cold January air, the warmth of the couple’s love and the bond with their families made the day feel like the brightest of summer days.
As a wedding photographer, it’s moments like these that make my work so fulfilling. A day filled with tradition, love, and the kind of happiness that can only be shared with family is a reminder of what truly matters.
And when that day is captured against the stunning backdrop of Northeast Italy’s winter beauty, it becomes a memory that will last a lifetime.
