Joanna & Johnluke | Wedding | Villa Bighi

Some weddings just hit differently, and Joanna & Johnluke’s wedding at Villa Bighi was one of those. From the moment I arrived, I could feel the energy in the air. This wasn’t just a wedding; it was a full-blown celebration, and every single person there was ready to party.

Villa Bighi is stunning on any given day, but with Joanna and Johnluke’s vision, it was next-level. They went all out, but honestly, no decor could outshine the vibe of the night itself.

The ceremony was heartfelt, filled with those little moments that make weddings so personal. But once the formalities were over, it was go-time. Joanna, being a dancer, set the tone for the night the second she stepped onto the dancefloor. And Johnluke? He was right there with her, keeping up like he’d been training for this moment his whole life.

I’ve seen some great wedding parties, but this one? Non-stop. From the first dance to the last song, the floor was packed. Guests weren’t just dancing; they were performing. Lifts, spins, spontaneous choreography—it had everything. At one point, I put my camera down for a second just to take it all in because moments like these remind me why I love what I do.

Looking back at the photos, I can’t help but smile. The laughter, the movement, the pure joy—it’s all there. Joanna and Johnluke, you threw one hell of a wedding, and I’m just grateful I got to capture it all.

If every wedding was like this, I’d never leave the dancefloor.
