It’s a story that begins like many others, with casual encounters and evenings with friends. But as often happens, fate has surprises in store that you don’t expect.
As a wedding photographer I have the privilege of witnessing love stories of all kinds, with some that seem like authentic fairy tales that leave a deep imprint in the heart. The story of Antonio and Livia is certainly one of those.
It all began way back in January 2014, during an evening with friends. Antonio and Livia met for the first time, without knowing that that simple meeting would mark the beginning of an extraordinary journey. Initially, there was nothing special between them, just a silent distance. But destiny, with its mysterious way of weaving the threads of life, had thought of something special for them.
It was during a summer holiday with friends in Calabria, in August 2015, that everything changed. The relaxed atmosphere and the serenity of the sea have created the perfect context to give life to a completely new chapter. The journey marks the beginning of a new book in their lives, a story made of discoveries, emotions and, most importantly, love.
A few years later, the biggest surprise. And it could only be in Paris, the city of love. At the foot of the Eiffel Tower, the proposal arrives, with a ring full of meaning and a heart full of love. A symbol of past, present and future: I loved you, I love you and I will love you, forever. Among the enchanting lights of the Ville Lumière, Antonio and Livia decide to spend the rest of their lives together.
And so we arrive at the present day, first our meeting and then the wedding that I was honored to photograph. Every moment of this special day was a pleasure. Wedding photos at Castello a Mare (from which the city of Castellammare di Stabia takes its name), beautifully decorated by the wedding planner Chiara Rubba, they beautifully describe a romantic and unforgettable ceremony. The reception on the terrace, a moment of joy and happiness shared with friends and family. In the castle wedding photos, you can see the splendid Gypsophila clouds and you can relive the wild dancing until the evening. The love story of Antonio and Livia finds its culmination in one of the most evocative places on the Sorrento Peninsula, with the Gulf of Naples and Vesuvius as the backdrop to such a special day.
Looking back at this extraordinary story, I can’t help but feel a deep gratitude for having had the opportunity to be a part of it. The wedding photos at Castello a Mare are not just images, but fragments of a magical story that will remain alive in their hearts forever. And for this, I am infinitely grateful.
