ADVENTUROUS MOUNTAIN ELOPEMENT ⁣ Matilda & Rhian

ADVENTUROUS MOUNTAIN ELOPEMENT ⁣
Matilda & Rhiannon 🏔💚⁣
⁣
⁣
Here I am again, so excited to share with you some photos of Matilda & Rhiannon, a very sweet, incredible couple! 😍⁣
⁣
I had the honour to witness a touching ceremony with personal vows and letters from the family, and I have to admit, I was so moved, I cried a bit while shooting! ✨⁣
⁣
When the portrait photos moment arrived, they have been amazing, listening to my advice and guidance, and slowly melting and getting comfortable, on an emotional level. ⁣
⁣
We always think that most of the job is done by the photographer, but it is not really like this for me. 😎⁣
⁣
It is a team work actually! It takes lot of efforts, to be on the other side of the camera, we are human after all, and it is super normal to feel awkward especially if it is the first time. 🙌⁣
⁣
I was so proud of them honestly! They followed my guidelines and let themselves go with the flow, enjoying the view, running, jumping, and smiling at each other all the time! 😉⁣
⁣
It started to get pretty cold at some point, but they managed anyway embracing the entire experience as it was! ⁣
⁣
It was simple, loving, REAL! Thank you for this fantastic experience M. & R. I hope to see you again in the future 💚

REASONS TO HAVE AN OUTDOOR SYMBOLIC CEREMONY 🏞🌲😎⁣
⁣
⁣
When you are thinking about your special day, did you consider the possibility to have your ceremony in the outdoors?🤔⁣
⁣
There are many advantages and positive facts in doing it, these are just a few:⁣
⁣
⁣
You can choose in total freedom the scenario and vibe that is going to be around you, and you will not be limited to choose between a courthouse or licensed venues. Think about it for a sec, it could be a forest, a mountain, a lake, beach… Literally there are so many options! 🏖🏔🌄⁣
⁣
⁣
I personally believe that being surrounded by the beauty that Mother Nature gives to us makes everything special and makes us feel more connected with our inner being and in touch with our emotions. ⁣
It simply gives an extra emotional kick, and it is so magical! ✨⁣
⁣
⁣
The place where you are going to commit into each other lives will be personal and uniquely yours. 💏💑⁣
⁣
⁣
Your ceremony spot can become also your activity for the day! If you like hiking or exploring around and follow trails, and hidde#elopement ⁣

NATURAL ENGAGEMENT PHOTOS 😍⁣ ⁣ How exactly

NATURAL ENGAGEMENT PHOTOS 😍⁣
⁣
How exactly does it work?? What does it feels spending some hours with me ⁣
For your photo session and how do you know that you will get awesome natural photos of the two of you?⁣
This is how & why 👇⁣
Photos are not the main point! ⁣
The secret here Is for you to actually have fun! 🤩 ⁣
⁣
It is my job to put you at eace first, letting you time to decompress (maybe you had to run to arrive in time) ⁣
Giving you a little explanation of how everything works, and be there for you guiding you ⁣
But without forcing to do things that are simply “ Not You”. 💚⁣
⁣
I chat with you and joke, I give you ideas, and suggest ways to snuggle, then YOU show me ⁣
How you two are as a couple. 💑⁣
⁣
If I see you need a little distraction, or something to relax I come out with little games ⁣
That you can do with each other. ⁣
The thing is: there is no pretending.⁣
If the photos you see are showing a couple walking, that is exactly what you can do, SIMPLY WALKING. 👣⁣
⁣
Let yourself go, focus on what is around you, look at your partner, and do not be afraid to express ⁣
Yourself in a true and human way. 💞⁣
⁣
You do not need to pose, you only need to BE PRESENT AND PLAY WITH EACH OTHER ⁣
⁣
I am there to remind you what the main point is, LIVING, HAVING FUN, AND GETTING STUNNING IMAGES OF IT ✨⁣
⁣
Sounds nice? Would you like to know more about how to get natural photos? 👇💚⁣

TUSCANY ALTERNATIVE ELOPEMENT 😎 I am absolute

TUSCANY ALTERNATIVE ELOPEMENT 😎

I am absolutely in LOVE with those two sweet souls 🥰
Spending time with Domenic & Julie was an absolute pleasure!
This lovely couple came from USA to get married in Tuscany, and they chose Italy because Domenic has Italian roots 🇮🇹
I was so surprised and happy to hear that they booked accommodation in a hidden gem situated on the mountain area close to Florence.
They weren’t focused too much on getting stunning perfect images in typical Tuscan vibe, but they wanted a simple relaxed day, just for the two of them in a place that was speaking TO THEM 🥹💚

We had a super relaxed beginning of the day getting ready at the B&B with make up and hair for Julie, then we drove till the secret spot for their ceremony 🥰

They committed into each other lives with romantic personal vows sharing and ring exchange 💍

It was so touching, and truly inspiring an absolute emotional moment full of joy and love 😍

They then popped some Prosecco and got some confetti that Domenic’s grandma gave him before the trip 🥰

We chilled a bit there just enjoying the view and getting some couple photos, and shortly moved to the last location, a lovely little town with an ancient mill and river crossing it 💚

We spent the last hours wondering around the river and walking in the little tiny streets 🙈

As a final touch they got a private chef cooking for them at the B&B 😋
I couldn’t imagine a better day honestly, perhaps because it was similar to mine special day and I felt so connected ✨
THANK YOU guys for sharing your day with me I will always remember those magical moments 🙏🏻😘

WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO ON OUR ELOPEMENT DAY? 💚

WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO ON OUR ELOPEMENT DAY? 💚
Do this little exercise to understand what you really want from your day! 🙌🏻

We live in a society that made us think that we need to “Follow the rules” and “Do things in a certain way”
“Because that is how to do it”…
Yeah… I DO NOT THINK SO! 😎
We are all so different from each other, what I might like, it could simply repels you and the same thing goes for the all the others.

But what about really digging inside of you, and deciding in total freedom what makes you happy? ✨
This exercise is perfect to reconnect with yourself, and visualise YOUR PERFECT DAY that truly screams
“THIS IS WHO WE ARE!” 👩‍❤️‍💋‍👨

You can then go for inspiration online, socia media, everything you want, but first please
Ask yourself.. What is it that makes us come alive? What do we really enjoy doing as a couple? 💚
