Lara & Mark | Wedding | Villa Bologna

On a scorching hot July day, I had the pleasure of capturing the most beautiful moments of a couple's big day at the stunning Villa Bologna in Malta. The historic estate's grand architecture, lush gardens, and picturesque courtyards provided the perfect backdrop for the celebration. Despite the heat, the bride and groom, along with their loved ones, were all smiles and exuded pure joy throughout the day. As a wedding photographer, it was a privilege to be a part of such a magnificent occasion and to capture memories that will last a lifetime.

Arielle & Michael | Wedding | Villa Cini, Tuscany

As a wedding photographer based in Malta, I have been fortunate to capture many beautiful moments for couples on their special day. But shooting a wedding in Tuscany, Italy was a dream come true for me. Tuscany has always held a special place in my heart, and I couldn't wait to capture the love and joy of the couple against the stunning backdrop of this incredible location.

The location for the wedding was nothing short of breathtaking. Nestled in the heart of the Tuscan countryside, the venue was a picturesque villa surrounded by rolling hills and vineyards. The views were simply awe-inspiring, and I was in photographer's heaven with so many stunning backdrops to work with.

The wedding day itself was perfect in every way. The weather was sunny and warm, casting a golden glow over the entire day. It was an honor to capture the raw emotions, the tears of joy, and the heartfelt moments that unfolded throughout the day.

What made this wedding even more special was that Michael was a long-term friend of mine. Having known him for years, it was an absolute privilege to be entrusted with the responsibility of capturing his wedding day.

One of the highlights of the trip was exploring the Tuscan countryside with the couple for their pre-wedding session a few days beforehand (photos here). The rolling hills, cypress trees, and vineyards provided the most stunning backdrop for their portraits. We wandered through the fields, capturing candid moments that truly reflected their personalities.

The reception was a celebration to remember. The atmosphere was filled with laughter, music, and dancing as the couple and their guests enjoyed a delicious Italian feast. The speeches were heartfelt, and the love and support for Sarah and Michael were evident in every word spoken. As the sun set over the Tuscan landscape, the couple shared their first dance under the twinkling lights, creating a magical moment that I was privileged to capture.

As the night came to a close, I couldn't help but feel grateful for the opportunity to be a part of such a special day. The incredible location of Tuscany, the breathtaking countryside, and the love and friendship of Arielle and Michael made this wedding a dream come true for me as a wedding photographer. Capturing their love story in such a beautiful setting was an experience I will cherish forever. As I look back on the beautiful memories I captured, I am reminded once again why I am so passionate about what I do, and I am grateful for the privilege to document love stories in such breathtaking locations.
