Dark and Moody Inspiration Shoot in Italian Garden

Last year we were thinking about doing a new photoshoot, but we didn’t wanted it to be like the other shoots we had already done. This time, we wanted it to be a bit darker, moody and blend it with deeper colours, like dark red. We all thought it was a great idea, so we started to make a plan. We began by finding a location were we could really bring this photoshoot to life. It ended up by us choosing Villa Agape, a beautiful villa in Florence with a gorgeous Italian garden. From that moment, we started to look for the right flowers, decoration, dress, model and food. The flowers consisted out of this beautiful mix up of tulips, peonies, anemone, sea holly, fritillaria and many more. The bouquet was filled with the most gorgeous dark colours and stood out against the white dress our model was wearing. For the table, we picked a long floral garland that would drop all the way down to the floor. This garland was filled with Sea holly, red roses, red and white peonies and fritillaria. We wanted the decoration to compliment the flowers and not take all the spotlight. The small grey candles added a softer touch to the dark colours on the table and the black candles in bronze holders were beautiful next to the flowers and gave a more rustic look to the photos. We added some blue plates and the end results were stunning. We also had a gorgeous layered cake in different shades of pink. Once we placed it on the table, filled with all the dark colours, it looked amazing. The cake looked like a rose, due to all the layers and had golden edges, which made it even more beautiful. Our model was wearing an A-line dress from Pronovias, with beadings on her waist and long sleeves. Her make-up was light and not to heavy and most beautiful half flower crown was placed in her hair. The food needed to have the same dark effect and that ended up looking perfect. The photoshoot took place in the garden and lemon house. We were in luck, due to the lemon house having this old, mysterious look. This really brought something extra in to the pictures and we are really happy how they turned out. All by all, it was an amazing day and the people who were involved were all so creative and it was a pleasure to work with them. We are happy and pleased to show you the end result.

Intimate Wedding in Tuscany Italy | Val d'Orcia

As a Tuscany wedding photographer I really enjoyed working on this intimate wedding in a beautiful part of Tuscany called Val d’Orcia. Diana and Chandra decided to elope together instead of having a big event back home. They had rented a lovely country home and held the ceremony in the garden overlooking the valley. Diana was wearing this stunning rose-gold gown from Pronovias which matched her bubbly personality. After the ceremony we took some lovely pictures around the house while the dinner was being prepared by a personal chef. They were both so warm and friendly and clearly very much in love. I am very exited to share this shoot with you all.
