Elisa and Romano: An Intimate and Sincere Wedding Between Love and Nature
There are weddings that go beyond perfect organization and meticulously planned details. There are weddings that speak of pure love, family, and deep connections. Elisa and Romano's wedding was exactly that: an authentic wedding, born from the heart and organized in a very short time, carrying an even more special meaning.
Elisa and Romano are two wonderful people, true Tuscans, and two wedding photographers whom I had the pleasure of meeting on this occasion. I admire their work, and at first, I felt the responsibility of capturing their special day with the right sensitivity. But from the very beginning, a genuine bond formed, making everything feel natural, as if I were part of their family.
They decided to get married quickly to allow a very dear relative to be present. A choice driven by love and the desire to share this moment with those who truly matter. What resulted was an intimate, simple, and profound wedding, where every glance and every gesture spoke of true affection.
Elisa got ready at her grandmother’s house, surrounded by the love of her aunt and her best friend, who was also her maid of honor. It was a sweet and intimate moment, enriched by a gesture from Romano’s mother, who brought her the bouquet and a small jewel just before she left, almost as a symbolic welcome into the family.
The arrival at the church was emotional: after getting ready, Elisa went to pick up her mother, who had prepared herself alone in another house, and they arrived at the church together.
After the long-awaited "I do," we took a special moment for the photos. I took them to their favorite place, a location that holds deep meaning for them. There, in the golden light and the silence of nature, we created images that tell their essence.
The evening continued with an intimate dinner at an imperial table in the middle of a Tuscan forest, a stunning setting that perfectly reflected the spirit of the wedding: simple, authentic, without excess, yet full of emotion and warmth, with real plants instead of cut flowers, symbolizing deep-rooted love.
This was not a lavish wedding but a sincere celebration of love, surrounded by those who truly matter. I had the privilege of telling this story through my lens, and as I captured each moment, I didn’t feel just like a photographer—I felt like part of a family, part of a unique and unforgettable moment.
The photos are a mix of film and digital to capture every nuance of that special day.
I want to share with you their review, which truly moved me:
"A Photographer Like No Other
Entrusting Cristiana with the task of capturing our wedding was one of the most natural and fortunate choices we made. As a photographer, I know how important it is to find someone who can capture not just the aesthetics of a moment but also its emotional nuances, and she did this in an extraordinary way.
Cristiana has a rare sensitivity—the ability to see beyond, to read the connections between people, and to narrate them with a delicacy that never intrudes but rather enriches. Every image she delivered speaks of us, our bonds, and the joy that accompanied that day. Without forced poses or artificiality, she captured moments that we will be able to relive forever, all with a style that reflects truth, not just appearance.
One aspect that particularly struck me was her attention to detail, to the little gestures and glances. Looking at the photos, I realized how much love was present in every moment, even the simplest ones. Some images especially touched me deeply because they hold memories of inestimable value to me.
Cristiana was a discreet and calming presence, always in the right place at the right time. She knew how to tell our story with authenticity, transforming our memories into a visual narrative that we will treasure forever. I am truly happy to have entrusted her with this task: she photographed my wedding just as I would have, perfectly understanding what I was looking for.
I can only wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer who goes beyond the simple image, to tell real stories with all the sensitivity and humanity they require.
Thank you, Cristiana, for this gift."
