This is an engagement and family portrait shooting in Florence. A blend of portraits and spontaneous moments in this stunning city. This day was quite all about the light and architecture of Florence. I love to highlight faces from the dark and include architecture as an analogy of the men.

Wedding at Palaios Panteleimonas, Greece at 19/06/2017, of Peter and Elaine. This is the true meaning of an International wedding. Peter and Elaine decided to come from China to get married in the beautiful village of Palaios Panteleimonas in Greece. Their best man came from Scotland. The Maid of Honor from America. The preacher from Wales. Their friends from China, Germany, and Tibet, and their photographer from Greece. A great different wedding at a great place.

In a fantastic scenic gulf with a beautiful natural environment between mountain and sea, in western Sicily, I have created the photographic story of Vito and Chiara in Castellammare del Golfo. At the wedding home, I have been attracting so many friends and relatives excited about this wedding. In the church of Santa Caterina, the bride’s dad made everyone excite! A religious marriage rally is very engaging because the priest has known families for many years. Climate changed after church wedding, the cheerful and smiling bride and groom together with friends began to celebrate at Port of Castellammare del Golfo with a toast with friends, a walk near the blue sea and then go to the party with friends and relatives.
A photographic service in Sicily very fun, with some little emotion.
I knew the bride, Chiara, for a long time; But the day of marriage turned out to be more beautiful and bubbly than ever!
A brilliant bride for a fun wedding!
In Sicily, usually, the bride and groom have a dark dress, but Vito surprised us with her pearl gray pajamas suit that well suits a wedding in the morning. The dress of the bride, a real wonder! When you marry you want to be beautiful, but this dress was a lot more and valorized the bride making it sweet and intriguing at the same time! And then how much happiness between champagne and the other there were so many dances and fun games!
A wedding photographer in Sicily has a lot of things to do, because in addition to the weddings also landscapes become the protagonists of the wedding day for elegant and spontaneous photographs do not need the shots posed; But only a tune between photographer, bride, and groom!
Sierra Lago Resort & Spa, surrounded by nature
Sierra Lago is described by its owner as the closest place from the sky. After I have documented Ilse & Joel’s wedding, I have to admit that this might be true. This 25 Suites Boutique Hotel located in the middle of the majestic Sierra Madre offers to its guests a beautiful lake, formed in an extinguished volcano crater.
It takes around two hours and a half from Puerto Vallarta to get to this little heaven, but I can assure you that every minute is worth it when you finally arrive. Due to its altitude, the climate is a bit cooler than on the coast and also less humid, but the amazing thing about this place is how clear the sky is. At night, millions of stars shine and can be seen from the hotel, reminding us why pre-Hispanic civilizations based their calendar on astronomy.
For couples who would like to spend a few days in the hotel before or after the wedding, the many proposed activities will keep them entertained. If you ever get tired of hiking the many walking-paths of the area, it is also possible to kayak, horse-ride or fish on the lake, or simply enjoy the beautiful pool and a hydro-massage.
When to plan a wedding at Sierra Lago?
If you are thinking of planning your wedding in Sierra Lago, we recommend avoiding the rain season (from June to September) as your perfect day could quickly be ruined by torrential rain. Autumn and spring are probably the best seasons to organize an event in Sierra Lago, along with winter if you are not afraid to bring with you some sweaters and warm clothes.
Sierra Lago’s amenities for your wedding
Sierra Lago has nothing to envy to bigger resorts as they can organize a reception and ceremony for up to 100 persons, provide 3-course meals and host most of family and friends in their 25 guest suites. A horse-drawn coach is even provided to the bride to make a beautiful and romantic entrance.
