A wedding day isn’t the only day worth filming. A few days before Ned and Jazzy’s wedding at Villa del Balbianello, the three of us headed to Bellagio for the evening just me, Jazzy and Ned, no guests, no schedule to keep. We caught them right at sunset, dancing slowly with the lake behind them,...
Some weddings I film as a professional. This one, I was part of in a way I’d never been before and likely never will be again in quite the same way. Francesca has been my wife’s best friend since they were fourteen years old. My wife stood as her maid of honor. And for the...
Some weddings are a ceremony with a party after. This one was closer to a full stage production, held inside the Duomo Ballroom at the Excelsior Hotel Gallia, right by Milan’s Piazza Duca d’Aosta. Once again, I was booked by Benny Fadlun & the MazalTovBand, who provided the live soundtrack for the night and this...
Officine del Volo, in Milan, has hosted more than one memorable celebration for me I filmed Alessandro & Umasha’s wedding there too and this one, for Marco and Margherita, brought a different energy entirely: a Jewish wedding party with Benny Fadlun & the MazalTovBand leading the music, who brought me in specifically to capture them...
It rained the entire morning of Luca and Rebecca’s wedding steady, relentless, the kind of rain that doesn’t let up whether you’re walking into the church of San Genesio in Dairago or walking straight back out of it. And then, almost as if it had been waiting for its cue, the sky cleared right as...
Villa Borri Manzoli has been standing in the center of Corbetta since the 1600s, tied to a noble family whose history stretches back even further one of their ancestors, Bonacossa Borri, was married to Matteo I Visconti himself. Centuries later, the villa’s grand courtyard and gardens made an equally fitting stage for Mattia and Silvia’s...
I’ll say it plainly: I love a wedding filmed entirely in one location. No car convoys, no lost time on transfers, no parking chaos, no chasing a schedule between three different addresses. Everything just happens, one part after another, in the same place and Villa Necchi alla Portalupa, tucked inside the Ticino Park near Vigevano,...
Some weddings you remember for how composed they were. This one, I remember for exactly the opposite reason, and it’s better for it. Giuseppe and Lucia an intimate, elegant couple, Lucia especially striking in every frame got married in July 2019, the last summer before the world changed with the pandemic. The reception was held...
Stefania got ready in Bollate, at Cascina del Sole, while Francesco prepared just down the road in Garbagnate Milanese the two of them married at the church in Garbagnate before making their way to Villa Acquaroli in Carvico for the reception. This 18th-century villa, set in a park with a small lake and centuries-old trees,...
Marco and Angelo are well known around Limbiate and Desio, where they both work in real estate so it’s no surprise their wedding day felt like a genuine community event, with familiar faces from the area showing up to celebrate alongside them. The day started with preparations at their own home in Bovisio Masciago, followed...
