Late September / October is my favorite time of year in Rome. Robin and Frank, with their wedding on September 30, reaped the benefits of the glorious, sunny, warm but not hot weather typical of that time of year. The bride wanted a simple yet elegant palette for the wedding and what could be more chic than black and white?
Both Robin and Frank are nurses and they met on a special transplant program in Palermo, Sicily. That and the fact that Frank’s family is from Abruzzo made Italy the perfect place to celebrate their wedding and Rome a central meeting point.
They had a double wedding celebration with an intimate ceremony on a terrace with a spectacular view over the center of Rome. followed by a luncheon with just family. Later that day they tooled around with photographer in tow to take advantage of the many incredible sites that Rome has to offer. Photo with Saint Peter’s Basilica? Check! Photo with the Colosseum? Check! On a Vespa? Check!
The day culminated in a party on yet another gorgeous terrace with a bird’s eye view of the Colosseum. Robin and Frank are big Pittsburgh Steelers fans and so their family surprised them with their own wedding version of the “terrible towel”.

Dustin and Renee dreamed of marrying in Italy but due to family issues it was not to be. So instead they opted for a honeymoon in Italy with a post-wedding photo shoot in Rome followed by a trash the dress Mediterranean style on the beach just an hour outside of Rome. What fun and what incredible photos!

Ross and Francesca are yet another couple who met while attending someone else’s wedding. Francesca is from Rome and Ross is from England. They are a really fun couple and their wedding day in Rome reflected this along with their love of family and friends. They chose Rome for its warmth and obvious charms but added a few touches like the red double decker bus and the vintage Bentley to bring some flavors of home over the Channel with them. Enjoy the gorgeous, ethereal photographs of Fiona Campbell Photography London below:

In the storied gardens of Villa Cimbrone in Ravello on the Amalfi Coast we organized a symbolic Jewish wedding and it could not have been more elegant or chic. Shades of periwinkle and lilac were the inspiration for all the paper goods, flowers and favors. The ceremony took place in the tea garden under the decorative shell built by the Saracens hundreds of years earlier. It was a beautiful, clear day with a perfect view of the sea and the mountains.
The bride and groom had grown up together before each went their own way into adulthood. After many years and life experiences later they met again while both were living in NYC and this time around they did not see each other just as neighbors anymore!

Eve and David met at the wedding of two of their friends in California. After the wedding David returned to Dublin where he lived but could not get the memory of Eve out of his mind. Eventually Eve moved to Dublin to be with him. Their Tuscan wedding weekend enabled their distant friends and families to commingle in over a leisurely three days in the Tuscan countryside. Eve had specific ideas of what she was looking for and although she wanted an authentic, rustic experience she still wanted the flowers and decor to have a certain sophistication. The flowers and the colors were rich and lush and copper, magenta and a touch of orange were our inspirations. Click on the title above to see the whole wedding and read more about it.

Eric and Ashley’s wedding could not have been more intimate. They have a beautiful relationship and are truly soul mates; they even helped each other to dress for their wedding day. When Eric read his vows there was not a dry eye in the room, my own included. I spent three days with them and their families at “their” villa in Montepulciano, Tuscany. It is always a pleasure to go deep into the Tuscan countryside where the food and wine are sumptuous and the surroundings unparalleled. What an auspicious way to begin a new life together. In the photos below their joy jumps right off the screen! Click on the title above to see all the gorgeous photos from this wedding and to hear all the details.
