A Midsummer Night’s Dream. American wedding dream in Tuscany

Tuscany is a beautiful land. This is where Marykate and Alessandro decided to swear their eternal love. The couple chose Florence, the beautiful Ognissanti church, Ponte Vecchio in Florence, as scenes of an exclusive, romantic wedding, immersed in the history of one of the most fascinating places in Italy and of the world.

The organization of the marriage was entrusted to Valentina of “Il Mio matrimonio”.

As photographers and videomakers work for a wedding in Florence is a great pleasure, but at the same time it is a task of great responsibility. Wedding photography in one of the oldest cities of Italy, where at every corner you find a unique piece of art and history, means managing frames with great sensitivity, sobriety and concentration on the subjects.

As professional photographers, we must not let ourselves get carried away, we must not fall into the temptation to shift our attention towards the city, overshadowing the true protagonists of the story. The wedding reportage must look at the landscape and make it part of the story, but it is the couple, their steps, their friends, their smiles that tell the main story.

Coming out of the city we find tuscany landscapes that have inspired poets and writers, breathtaking views of extreme romanticism. Avoiding falling into the obvious rhetoric of images already seen is not at all obvious. The location chosen for a reception with elegant and shabby chic notes: the spacious and ancient rooms and gardens of Villa I Morulli, a historic home on the outskirts of Florence, surrounded by the green hills that enclose the eternal city.

“La tua virtù è la mia sicurezza.
E allora non è notte se ti guardo in volto,
e perciò non mi par di andar nel buio,
e nel bosco non manco compagnia
perché per me tu sei l’intero mondo.
E come posso dire d’esser sola
se tutto il mondo è qui che mi contempla?“.

From: William Shakespeare – “A Midsummer Night’s Dream”.
