Here is the story of a wedding organized in few days. Emma and Jarrod contacted us the 30th of December during their vacation all over Europe.
They are a very young couple (23 and 26 years old), both from Australia, that during their trip, decided, all in a sudden that they desired to get married in Italy before returning to their own country.
The period was not really the best one to be chosen, firstly because it was between Christmas and New year’s Eve, and almost everybody here in Italy was on vacation, then because the temperature was quiet cold, even here in Rome, the so called sunny city!
Anyway, Emma and Jarrod decided to get married in Bracciano, by the lake and under the famous Odescalchi castle.
For their pictures, they have chosen Alessandro Zingone, www.zingonereportage.it one of the few members in Lazio of WPJA ( wedding photojournalist associacion).
Their first idea, was to have a romantic ceremony for two but when we started collecting documents, the family understood that a wedding was going to be celebrated and they quickly decided to take an airplane and fly to Italy.

Photography covers an important role within the contest of a unique event such as a wedding. This because a photograph can catch all the unforgettable instants of the Great Day. But it is only a matter of instants. Where photography does not arrive, video can.
It consists in the capacity to tell the story as if it was a film, with voices, movements, words and joyful scenes…
We are not speaking of a home made video, but a real film, with its clear storytelling, climaxes and flow. It will be professionally post produced and edited. A film that can support pictures, but not substitute them. It can be a unique support to memory of the day if the videographer was able to catch all the unforgettable moments within the flow of the day.
There are many moments in which video which becomes even more important and essential than photos. During the dinner party and the dances for example.

It is always so nice thinking that more than being a romantic and happy moment, weddings could be a meeting between different people and different customs.
This wedding I will tell you about is a real example for that.
Francesco is Italian from Verbania on Lake Maggiore and Sarah has Indian heritage. Both live and work in London but chose to get married in Italy with Jehovist ceremony.
As Mariana and Matteo (main character of the picture who won the contest Shot of the Year 2009) Francesco deep love for his hometown affected Sarah. So this is the reason because they chose Lake Maggiore as frame for their wedding.
As floral designer I managed all flower arrangements for Sarah and Francesco’s wedding: from their ceremony who was held in Sala del Regno in Verbania and reception to Grand Hotel Dino in Baveno. Last but not least I created also bridal bouquet with red roses and wonderful sparkling Swarovski that Sarah brought from UK. Such a perfect choice! The lovely sunny weather made them sparkling all thay long just like little diamonds.
Religious ceremony with Jehovah service has been held in Sala del Regno in Verbania. It is a big and bright building with lovely garden.
Religious service of Jehovah’s Witnesses is very simple but surely strict. It follows rules that founder Charles Russell established in middle 1800 and spread through religious magazine The Watch Tower. Continue Reading »
