This is just a taste of what I have been up to during my latest trip to Italy. The little Islands of Brissago on Lake Maggiore host a Botanical Garden and are just a photographic treasure for wedding photography. So, instead of Lake views, I got mostly inspired by other plants and scenery… and brave Noemie and Ernesto indulged me 
More soon….
Just skimming through few images from Friday’s wedding at the Vine Hill House in Sebastapol. Here’s just a few of my favorites of super fun couple Kristin and Brian, much more to come this week…
Here’s the first encounter of Kristin and Brian, before the ceremony… an intimate time for the bride and groom…
And a few bridal shots of Kristin, which I could have photographed for hours… she’s so much fun to work with.
One of my favorite weddings from 2009 has been published on Style Unveiled blog. Check it out as Stacie talks about her special Puerto Vallarta Destination Wedding.
Promoting my Destination Weddings I will be participating at LuganoSposi2010, a Bridal Show in Lugano, Switzerland on January 14th-17th. For the occasion, I created a new sample album of my recent Puerto Vallarta destination wedding. It is my first trade show ever as a vendor, I am quite excited and looking forward to the experience! See you in Europe!

Just got back two days ago from Puerto Vallarta, my first time in Mexico covering Stacie and Sean’s destination romantic wedding. It was a long wait since I photographed Stacie and Sean in San Francisco for their engagement last april. Just off the plane I was hit by a wave of warm air and I immediately knew it was love at first site with Mexico! Just my kind of weather… I had the pleasure to stay in close contact with Stacie and Sean for a few days in the villas they had rented for the event. Their closest family and friends all flew in to spend a few days with them on this special occasion. A very long celebration of love. Destination weddings are definitely something special as you remember not only the day of the ceremony, but all the days spent on the getaway become special. And for a photographer, it’s photo ops BONANZA!! The day after I arrived we shot at the Villas where the bride and groom were staying, the day after the wedding we had more time to concentrate on some “Stacie and Sean time” in some remote areas of Puerto Vallarta. I could have kept going on and on.. I am the most inspired when shooting in yet unknown locations, the discoveries are such a thrill!
I had this fantasy of a beach shoot with Stacie horseback riding but the beaches we visited were too crowded.. so we opted for a quieter location with a rich and colorful vegetation background. Not too bad after all!
These are my favorites shots the day after the wedding.. but let’s rewind and take a look at the beautiful Villas atmosphere…
and now.. wedding day!
The beautiful wedding staging that wowed all the guests was superbly organized by Michelle and Kristin of The Dazzling Details. Thank you girls for making the event not only gorgeous but smoothless, and taking good care of me
More candids moments from Stacie and Sean’s wedding coming up soon in their wedding slideshow.. stay tuned!
I am just a few weeks away from my next trip to Italy!! For the occasion I just finished the layout of Giulia and Fabio’s wedding album, you may remember my previous posts on their wedding last May.
There is always a first time. Finally it arrived for me to walk the streets of Paris! It moved me to tears to see how amazingly beautiful it is! It was just too short a visit though.. two days aint’ enough to see all the wonders… and it was just too short my time spent with Hortense and Ezio, a fun couple living the life in Paris. They took us walking their favorites, less notorious spots in Paris and were just adorable playing for us a French style love affair
At the end of our brief shoot we enjoyed some french wine, ate that delicious baguette (yes, with nothing in it!) and here’s me toasting to the fun life in Paris!
More on Giulia and Fabio’s Wedding in Turin, Italy in this slideshow
During my recent travels in Europe, I had the honor of photographing Giulia and Fabio’s wedding in Turin, Italy. The young and charming couple celebrated their love at Tenuta Berroni, a splendid Italian Villa in the Piedmont country side. I wanna thank Countess Alessandra Castelbarco, owner of the Villa, for her precious help and courtesy.
Giulia also works in the wedding industry. She owns Dedicato a Voi Sposi in Turin and she is welcoming any bride and groom who need help organizing their wedding in the Piemonte region.
Here’s Giulia with her puppy just a few moments before stepping into her elegant wedding gown. She is such a natural, classic, italian beauty!
The ceremony was held at San Bernardino Church in Turin. I found that Italian priests are a bit more flexible with photographers during the ceremony, allowing them to move around as much as necessary to get their favorite shots.
The party went on for hours at the Villa, the day was blessed with warm weather, delicious food and wine and a fun crowd!
Stay tuned for Giulia’s and Fabio wedding slideshow coming shortly!
