I had the pleasure of meeting Elisabetta and Stefano through a Wedding Planner I frequently collaborate with, ELISA AZZOLINI, who organized everything in great detail, and I immediately hoped they would confirm me as their photographer for their wedding because I had fallen in love with their story.
A love at first sight, just like the one they experienced six years earlier when they casually sat next to each other at a dinner party with friends, as they told me… After that dinner, however, despite the love at first sight, they lost touch and only met again a year later at a disco, then at a birthday party, until they got engaged in Iceland, without a ring but with a bracelet with snowflake-shaped pendants… because every snowflake is unique and never the same as another!
For their wedding, they chose to celebrate the religious ceremony in the center of MODENA, inside the suggestive CHURCH OF SAN VINCENZO, which, with its wonderful dome and frescoed ceiling, houses the Chapel of the Dukes of Este.
The reception venue was one of my favorites, VILLA COCCAPANI PIGNATTI MORANO in Fiorano Modenese, in the first hills just outside Modena. A long imperial table hosted over 130 guests in a romantic and convivial atmosphere, the expert catering service of I LOVE MY KITCHEN, the delightful floral arrangements of PAN DI ZUCCHERO, and the rock music of TI AMO PEGGY SUE were the perfect team to make this wonderful couple’s wedding dream come true.
