The importance of the Engagement photoshoot

Every shot returns the beauty and dignity of every moment, making it lasting forever. Just a single moment of your private life – that is the best scenario to capture the emotions and feelings of a couple.

Even a simple engagement can be the perfect scenario for that, not only marriage.

You are a couple in your everyday life, months and years before the “Yes, I do”. You are a couple when you choose your partner every day when you face the troubles together when you make compromises and pursue a path named “life”. A couple can capture their memories before the “I do”.

Those shots will remind them of what makes them choose to share a life together for better or for worse, in sickness and in health, for now, forever, for always.

Between light and dark in the Montesenario woods in Florence

That’s what I aimed to do with Vera e Luca – playing with the lights and shadows of the magical locations we saw. As a dance where the music is the complicity.

The Montesenario sanctuary is our first scenario. It is one of Tuscany’s most important sanctuaries. You can reach it by taking a path that crosses the Fiesole countryside and the Mugello’s mountains.

The sanctuary itself is a panoramic turret overviewing the green valley.

The welcoming feeling of a religious silence is almost tangible, maybe because of the presence of the monks.

Its 18th Century porch is this beautiful couple’s second stage. Only the columns and arches of the porch are still there, included in the front wall and the clock tower.

Vera and Luca are into music and travels, two of my main passions. Maybe that helped us a lot to connect ourselves to the point where I told them about my last trip to Bosnia.

When I can feel such a connection between me and the couple, it’s a simple game.

From the Montesenario convent’s park to that of Villa Demidoff

We reach Villa Demidoff – a wonderland wanted by Francesco I de’ Medici, Grand Duke of Tuscany.

Carelessness and time have taken away its 16th-century wonders; we can only imagine the Medici Villa with its two Italian-style gardens full of sculptures, statues, pools with water features, labyrinths, and caves.

A dreamlike place where nature and mythology used to meet.

The enchantment of a powerful nature is still there with its huge green spaces, woods, meadows and the wonderful giant of the Apennines, a work by Giambologna. There is still the Cupid’s cave, the Mugnone’s fountain and the chapel, designed by Buontalenti, plus the stables.

It was wonderful to make Vera and Luca dance in the shadows and lights here.

They were so spontaneous and true, they let themselves be carried away and allowed me to capture these moments in one shot.

It was now several months since I had a “Save the Date” photo shoot, I must say I always have fun when I do it.

Giulia and Lorenzo have decided to have their photo shoot by the sea in Marina di Bibbona. A beautiful beach within the Natural Biogenetic Tomboli Reserve, one of the most beautiful settings I have worked for. It was a fantastic day without too much sun and with a surreal atmosphere. The beach is pristine, logs brought from the sea remain on the sand throughout the year and often people make with them little huts. It is a fascinating place that seems just made for our photo shooting.

We met in Santa  Croce Square early morning, then we moved to one of the most beautiful gardens in Florence, the Boboli Gardens. Unfortunately, the light was not the best but we still took some great pictures!

It’s always a pleasure for me to shoot Engagements in Florence especially when my customers come from another area so for them each corner is a new discovery.

The Boboli Gardens in this time of the year are particularly green and lush and it was a great set for their Engagement in Florence.

Bolgheri visited by thousands of tourists and wine enthusiasts are our destination for this Engagement.

Silvia and Luca which I know very well, lifelong friends, decided to treat themselves before the wedding with this photo shooting, in one of the fascinating places in Tuscany.

Surrounded by green vineyards, Bolgheri is the excellence of the Italian and Tuscan winemaking.  In fact, in this little village, you can taste several local wines.

The atmosphere inside the walls is really relaxing, a perfect place for a couple’s photo shoot! We really got all we wanted out of this photo shoot in Bolgheri, from the wine tasting to a walk on the famous tree-lined street of cypresses.

It was fun to take pictures of them while they were relaxing in front of a glass of wine. Afterward, they were at ease in front of the camera as they were “intoxicated” by the scent of the Bolgheri DOC wine, and everything was more relaxed.
