A traditional wedding, full of family and friends: Paolo and Jessica chose to marry in Villanova del Battista, in the setting of Villa Belvedere, Irpinia, after a seaside pre-wedding shoot in Cetara.
Plot twists and a cloudburst
Paolo and Jessica’s friends had more than one surprise in store throughout the day: plot twists that kept everyone on the edge of their seats, which we captured one after another, amid laughter and hugs.
Then came a cloudburst. It seemed like a problem, but it turned out to be a gift: after the rain the air became crystal clear and the colours rich, with a light no sunny afternoon could have given. The couple portraits were born right there, just after the storm.

The pre-wedding shoot in Cetara
Before the wedding we did the pre-wedding shoot in Cetara, a fishing village on the Amalfi Coast: the boats, the little harbour and the lanes by the sea.
