Erika and Filippo’s intimate wedding in Savignano Irpino
A simple day full of emotion. Erika and Filippo chose to celebrate at their farmhouse in Savignano Irpino with just a few close relatives: an intimate wedding, without excess, where every guest truly mattered.
Instead of hiring a band, they created a playlist to accompany the day from start to finish: songs chosen one by one that told their story. At sunset, with the valley behind them, they cut the cake in the most beautiful light of the day.
An intimate wedding leaves room for people and details, and is perfect for reportage-style storytelling. If you’re thinking of a small celebration, read about the differences between an elopement and an intimate wedding.
Erika and Filippo looked stunning, and so did the celebration. Everything I could ask for when photographing a wedding: simplicity and elegance with a pinch of spice (Diego, the little boy you see in the photos). Vittoria WP Belmonte organised the staff and the decorations, refined and elegant as always. A perfect day, just a few loved ones. A day full of feeling and fun. The children played their part too, brightening up the day. The right recipe for an intimate wedding at home? Simple: invite only your closest family, decorate your garden and you’re all set. As the August sun went down, candles created an unforgettable atmosphere, intimate and homely.
