The wedding of Jessica and Pasquale

The story

How it went, moment by moment

Getting ready at home

Pasquale got ready at home with family and friends, with braces, cufflinks and a toast under the portico before setting off. Jessica in her room, with the dress to be laced up, the white and red bouquet, the little bridesmaid and the walk down the stairs already dressed as a bride.

The church ceremony

It was raining when they arrived at the church, and the bride stepped out of the red spider under an umbrella. Then the walk down the aisle, the exchange of rings, the signing and the kiss, and the exit onto the church steps to applause and a shower of rice.

Villa Baiana

At Villa Baiana the guests were welcomed with drinks in the courtyard, with the seating plan hung among the barrels and the buffet. The couple arrived in the spider between the arched hedges, and from above the drone captured the guests arranged in a heart shape on the forecourt.

The portraits

Before dinner we headed up among the vineyards and olive trees in the late afternoon light. In the evening, after the couple’s entrance into the dining room, the last portraits among the barrels in the cellar and in the villa’s garden, under the illuminated olive tree.

Cake, fireworks and party

The cake was cut with a sabre on the lawn, in front of the arch bearing the words "That’s Amore", followed by fireworks and the first dance under the fairy lights. The bouquet toss and the party indoors, with purple lights and dancing into the night.
