Wedding in Verbania, Maggiore Lake

The wedding pictures I will post today are a bit special …. because the photo shoot took place in the kitchen of a famous restaurant in Verbania, Il piccolo lago
Marco Sacco the Chef (2 Stars Michelin) allows guests to enter the kitchen and to observe the work and even cook with him.
Chris and Justin, a funny british couple choose this location and I must say it was the right choice.

Anyway, here some shots in the beautiful kitchen of Marco Sacco:

Wedding photographer in Milan, Palazzo Dugnani

Desiree and Gianmarco is a very young couple with a beautiful baby ! The marriage was at Palazzo Dugnani in Milan and their friends and relatives enjoined  them all day long. In short, many friends and lots of jokes, a brief shower …

but also the sun … … so there were all the elements for a nice unforgetable day . Look at some pictures of their wedding:

Wedding photographer Cinque Terre Vernazza and Riomaggiore

This marriage has surprised me, first of the locations, Cinque Terre, Riomaggiore and Vernazza, amazing places where I always return with pleasure.
Fabrizio, the Wedding Planner (a wonderful person, discreet and precise) contacted me a few months before asking for availability for a wedding in that area, I enthusiastically accepted because of Lucia has organized her preparation and dressing on a train !

We started with Lucia and a few friends from Sestri Levante, and they started to work immediately, the bride was so excited… all together decorated the train with ribbons and balloons

In Levanto Pasquale was waiting for us with all the guests who came up in the train …

and we arrived to Vernazza where there was the ceremony.
Figure out… sun, a beautiful fishing village, picturesque narrow streets, people cheering …

After the ceremony we had a little cruise by boat to Riomaggiore where there was the reception …
In short, a perfect day, the nature of the Cinque Terre, the sun, people, music and dance …

Thanks to Lucia, Pasquale and Fabrizio!Here are some pictures … … let me know what you think!

Wedding photographer in Cesate – Michela and Luca

I first met Michela and Luca last year, she is a doctor, very sweet and determined,  he is a volunteer Fire Department and he does it with passion.

I went to visit them in their home, I presented my portfolio, my marriage and after a while we were talking about photography.
We matched!
If you shoot something, you have to like it, if this happens I can work the best.
The day was a very sweet for me, I will remember Michela and Luca like friends.

Here a sample:
