Attending the Wednesday Papal Audience as Sposi Novelli (newlyweds) is an unforgettable experience for many couples who have recently celebrated their Church wedding. During this audience, couples married within the past two months (or, in some cases, up to a year) can sit in a reserved area close to the Holy Father, wearing their wedding attire or similar formal clothing. At the end of the audience, the Pope gives a special blessing to the newlyweds, and occasionally, some couples have the opportunity to greet him personally.​

Elena and Flavio's wedding was an unforgettable event, celebrated in two extraordinary locations: the historic Basilica of Sant'Elia in Nepi and the charming Tenuta di Ripolo.

The day began with preparations at Tenuta di Ripolo, a stunning 17th-century estate nestled in the Monti Sabatini hills, near Lakes Bracciano and Martignano. Once owned by the Odescalchi princes, this venue perfectly combines history and elegance, offering vast gardens and refined halls that created the ideal setting for Elena and Flavio's special day.

Some weddings tell stories of deep and intense love, transcending time and space. Sara and Andrea’s wedding was one of those: an event filled with pure, raw emotions that left an everlasting mark. Having the honor of capturing their love story through my lens was truly a privilege.

The day began at Relais Appia Antica, a breathtakingly elegant venue surrounded by lush greenery: an idyllic setting for such a special celebration. It was here, within the villa’s charming walls, that Sara and Andrea prepared for their big moment, filled with both excitement and joyful anticipation. Their beautiful daughter, Allison, added an irreplaceable touch of sweetness to the atmosphere.
