Photo of the day!

Tender moments x

Very fond memories!

As I prepare to launch our new web site, we have asked all the wonderful photographers to send over some of the photographs from weddings we have worked together on over the years.  Today I received a batch of photos from Edoardo Agresti and was transported back to Megan's wedding, which was such a wonderful wedding, it has brought back very fond memories!

Once again Edoardo has come first place in the ISWP Wedding photography contest, showcasing his ability to capture magical moments, like this one of our lovely bride Alison on her wedding day in Atri, Abruzzo.

Congratulations Edoardo, it is always a pleasure to work together! 

Trust your wedding planner when selecting your photographer...

I have learnt a lot from our Photographers and I have the deepest respect my wedding  photographers, however when we recommend a photographer it is because they are able to produce the images we think will best reflect the style of the bride and groom.

A July Bride!

As the wedding season is underway,  Amber, a July bride, has agreed to write a few pages for our blog in the run up to her wedding to Mike in Treviso.

A wedding under the Tuscan sun!

 Loro Ciuffenna is not one of the main towns or villages that come to mind when you think of Tuscany. However what is so great  about this town is it is real, not just for tourists but a place where the locals sip spritz in the late afternoon sun and Paulo shouts at Max across the road about the football... The rest of the town is peaceful and sleepy!

Jesse and Erik Wedding in Orvieto

 We love working with  Edorado Agresti and his team (captured above by Kelly Hayes , with our lovely hairdresser from London and the bride to be Jesse from the USA.) His photos are stunning and so it is with pleasure I am posting Edoardos interview and photos from ISPWP on Jesse and Erik's wedding in Orvieto.

Couples celebrating a civil wedding in Italy are surprised at the stateliness of the civil ceremony. The Representative of the state wearing the traditional Italian red, white and green sash reads the articles of law governing the rights and responsibilities of married couples in Italian and is simultaneously translated into English.

Catholic wedding in Italy

The final location test for your destination wedding is making sure that you can not only be legally married there but that the Church permits foreigners to get married there!

Italy is predominantly a Catholic country and as such you would expect that the Catholic Church would have one rule throughout the land, unfortunately you are forgetting this is Italy!

Why get married in Italy?

Maybe the question should not be why you should go to Italy, the birthplace of the phrase la dolce vita (the sweet life), but where in this country of art, ancient history, ethereal vistas, top-notch cuisine, and abundant wine (Italy leads the world with more than four million acres of vineyards) is the ideal destination for you!
