“The secret to a successful life is to commit to what you love, and to love what you commit to.”
[Fëdor Dostoevskij]
Anya and Alessio met in London during the pandemic, a time when even starting a simple conversation felt like a challenge. But from that moment on, they’ve always been together, linked by love and a curious detail: they were born on the very same parallel, thousands of kilometers apart.
She’s Russian, he’s Tuscan to the core. Two lives, two cultures, and a harmony that came effortlessly.
Their wedding followed the same rhythm: personal, heartfelt, and deeply genuine.
We took some of the portraits on Alessio’s family estate, surrounded by olive trees, ancient woods, and a warm, soft light. Then we moved just a few hills over to a rustic farmhouse for the ceremony and celebrations, all set within the lush, green folds of the Tuscan countryside.
It was a wedding I loved in every way, full of original touches, quiet beauty, and authenticity.
