With joy and warmth, today we share the most exciting moments of Giorgia and Claudio's wedding, a couple whose bond has been woven with friendship, love, and genuine understanding. Their story is a tale of reunion after a pause, of reconnection, and ultimately of love finding its way.

Immersed in the charming setting of Casali Santa Brigida, Giorgia and Claudio celebrated their love in a touching woodland ceremony, surrounded by nature and the affection of their loved ones. The woodland wedding was a magical experience, adding a touch of enchantment and poetry to this special day.

The magic of that day was palpable, with every detail crafted with love and dedication. But what truly made this wedding special was the presence of their friends, silent witnesses and participants in a story that has traversed years of laughter, sharing, and even difficult moments.

Giorgia and Claudio have always nurtured their friendship bond above all else, and this was evident in every moment of the day. The celebration that followed the ceremony was a jubilant and carefree affair, with friends dancing and laughing alongside Giorgia and Claudio, celebrating the beginning of a new chapter in their lives.

Today I'd like to talk to you about the creative process of a Wedding Photo Shoot, a Couple Photo Shoot or a Family Photo Shoot, which starts from the first contacts with my clients and ends with the editing of the photos.
"What does coffee have to do with it?", You ask. I'll tell you right away!

I am a person who is always looking for improvement in many fields and cooking is one of them. Today I'm talking about coffee, in particular espresso coffee, which seems to me to have some analogy with what I want to talk about.

Preparing an excellent espresso is not complicated at all, but you should have:

• the right tools;
• knowledge of the subject matter;
• an excellent raw material;
• lots of passion.

As in any field, in fact, when you are curious and start digging deeply, you come to discover many things that you never even suspected existed. For example, regarding coffee, here are just some of the things I discovered:

• it is not enough to have an espresso machine and a quality coffee grinder, but it is possible to replace some parts to greatly improve the result;
• there are filters and showers (the main filter from which the water on the coffee is dispensed) that cost as much as half a professional machine;
• the coffee must be pressed – strictly with the tamper – with a force that corresponds to about 12 kg (about 26 pounds);
• the grinding level should be calibrated every day, before starting to churn out coffee in bursts;
• depending on the place where it is grown, each coffee has very specific organoleptic characteristics;
• the toasting can vary and significantly modify taste and aromas;
• only a wise knowledge of the two previous points allows you to mix different qualities to obtain the right coffee for every occasion.

We had the honor of telling in pictures João's proposal in Rome to Carolina, a Portuguese couple who, in September, visited Rome.
Their story begun 9 years ago, when they fell in love at first sight by attending classes at the same University, just like in a movie!
They are both very sweet and tender and have a very strong passion in common, that of travel. And this was precisely the reason that led João to choose the wedding proposal at the Colosseum!

Before the proposal in Rome, we had an intense exchange of e-mails with João: you know how much we care about establishing a relationship with our clients that goes beyond the professional one, and besides he was very anxious about the organization of the surprise.
We therefore tried to reassure him by helping and supporting him in the smallest details: we chose together the right place and a time that would allow us to take more photographs after the proposal itself; we also established how to make the surprise go perfectly, so that Carolina did not suspect anything; we even exchanged messages until the last moment (thanks, technology!) and we even managed to give him advice on their outfit!

Carolina's reaction was touching: her immense love for João found its way through her eyes and he held her into her protective arms. João himself was speechless and did not stop hug and caressing her.
Here is the story of our afternoon together, a show that has thrilled us and that will continue to do so every time we look at the photographs and the video, which we have really created with our hearts.

The wedding season has finally started again and this year, both we and our couples, have looked forward to it like never before!

Angela and Pasquale are the first amazing couple! They organized a wedding in an italian castle not far from Rome, in the city of Vicovaro, in the Cenci Bolognetti Castle. A place steeped in history, built in the thirteenth century and then enlarged and renovated in the eighteenth century: the mixture of styles and genres is now visible both in the structure and in the interiors, especially in some completely frescoed large rooms.
The main reason they chose to get married in a castle is their immense passion for the Harry Potter saga, which obviously became the main theme of the whole event!

The atmospheres of the large halls, with the thin but powerful beams of light that make their way through the narrow windows, the winding passages and finally the wooded surroundings, can only recall some glimpses of the imagination of Hogwarts. Close the circle an elegant setting and the gem of the seating table with the tables named after some chapters of the saga.

The name of the newlyweds' table can only be The Unbreakable Vow: for the few who do not know it, it is a type of binding magical contract cast between two wizards. They have to shake their right hands, in the presence of a witness who summons the spell. It makes their bond indissoluble, until death do them part... Isn't it brilliant?

Speaking of unbreakable vows, Angela and Pasquale were keen to celebrate a religious ceremony and therefore chose the Church of San Pietro Apostolo, adjacent to the Cenci Bolognetti Castle.
