Feeling at home in the mountains? Do you maybe dream about getting married or elope in a mountain hut?
Well, maybe this is for you.
April, 2nd
We’re coming back from a weekend in the mountains (who would have imagined that, uh?) and I get a message from a cousin of mine. I read the preview on the top of the screen before really diving into it, cause what I read needs immediate attention. Wow 1. she’s marrying her boyfriend since forever and Wow 2. they ask me to be their photographer! The last thing I notice is the date, of course: May 6th. Likely the only free weekend I would have had until October. There’s so little time! They’ve decided to get married a few days ago and…cherry on top? They’re pregnant with their first daughter. So, first lesson from this is that you can: prepare a wedding in a month, in a super cool and fun space and also being in the third trimester of the first pregnancy.

Something I quite often catch in the Facebook groups or from other potential clients, is that people who don’t like to be before a camera won’t dare it even on their wedding day. This saddens me for them, because there’s a great danger of ending up with little memory of the greatest day of your life, or none at all. Just know there are SO MANY photographers out there and I’m pretty sure there’s one for every groom and bride of this planet, with his/her set of technical and empathetic skills. The risk of confiding in “Uncle Bob” for wedding pictures is…SO REAL. Funnily enough in Italy Uncle Bob turns out to be “the cousin”. Well, we can say my cousin Laura felt on her two feet on this one, can’t we?



May 6th comes quick and there I am, sipping coffee waiting for my cousin as she comes back from the hairdresser.


We’ve gained some deleay and, as the bride is ready I skyrocket myself towards Roncegno, in Valsugana.
