«We met in Vienna, while we were working and studying, and five years later he proposed exactly in Rathausplatz, where we met, where everything started. », the bride shared with us.
«We envisioned a wedding that exuded natural charm and bohemian flair, adorned with simple yet meaningful floral arrangements featuring daisies and lavender. The ceremony took place against the breathtaking backdrop of the sea, with a rustic wooden gazebo adorned with a cascade of tiny white blossoms and graceful wicker baskets overflowing with delicate blooms.»
« The breathtaking backdrop of the sea and the Sorrento coast played a pivotal role in our vision. For the seating plan, we transformed a corner into a miniature library, arranging book covers with enchanting titles and the names of guests seated at each table. To find their assigned table, guests had to embark on a literary adventure, seeking out the author of the title who had written the title displayed on the book cover where their name was inscribed. »
While every moment of our wedding was infused with enchantment, the one that encapsulates the essence of our day was when a spontaneous dance party erupted during dinner. Our friend’s impromptu request for a lively tune prompted our guests to abandon their plates mid-meal and join us on the dance floor. The air was filled with the joy of shared laughter and movement, creating a moment of pure, unadulterated bliss.

«My wedding dress felt like an extension of my own being, a seamless embodiment of my spirit. Its bohemian and natural aura seamlessly harmonized with my own free-spirited nature. The flowing skirt mirrored my every movement, becoming an extension of my dance throughout the day. »
I encourage couples to surrender to the emotions of the moment, to focus solely on their own desires, and to trust that perfection will be achieved through the outpouring of their happiness.

From the Photographer: «There is a Neapolitan word, “ammoìna”, which can be translated in “noise, confusion, dizziness». It comes from the Spanish word “amohinar”. When during dinner I confessed to Filippo and Marta that I would not have expected such involvement from their guests, the groom replied smiling “I love to surround myself with people who make a lot of noise”, because Marta and I are like that too. Their wedding has been the perfect conjunction between Spain and Italy, full of dances and smiles. Their ceremony, immersed in the greenery of Astapiana Villa Giusso, is a true tribute to the love of two people who know how to be moved and have fun without filters. »
