Villa Cimena – Where Elegance Meets Emotion
There are places that don’t just host weddings—they elevate them into poetry. Villa Cimena, nestled among the rolling hills of Piedmont, is one of those rare gems. With its neoclassical architecture, manicured gardens, and luminous interiors, it became the perfect stage for a celebration that blended refinement, intimacy, and authenticity.
The day began with quiet preparations bathed in natural light. The bride’s dress, hanging gracefully on a pale grey door framed by topiary spirals, already whispered of elegance. Moments later, she appeared on the grand red staircase, suspended between dream and reality. Every detail—from the scent of the bouquet to the texture of the fabric—spoke of her essence.
The Ceremony – A Burst of Color and Connection
In the heart of Villa Cimena’s garden, the ceremony unfolded with vibrant energy. Guests sat surrounded by lush greenery and timeless architecture, witnessing a moment that felt both sacred and spontaneous. As the couple exchanged vows, a dramatic burst of colored powder—red, orange, and yellow—exploded into the sky, turning the air into celebration.
This wasn’t just a visual spectacle—it was a symbol of shared joy, of love that dares to be seen. As a photographer, I focused not only on the aesthetic but on the emotional pulse of the moment: the glances, the breath, the quiet tremble before the kiss.
Reception & Storytelling – Light, Texture, Truth
The reception took place in a glass-ceilinged hall flooded with natural light. Tables dressed in floral linens, suspended arrangements in warm hues, and soft ambient lighting created an atmosphere of intimate sophistication. Every corner invited connection, every detail told a story.
My photographic style is documentary, emotional, and editorial. Inspired by the Italian school of storytelling—think Bastianoni and Panciatici—I seek truth in the details, in the spontaneity, in the light. Each image is crafted to reflect the soul of the moment, without staging, without interruption. Just presence.
