Francesca and Simone married in a traditional Italian Catholic ceremony in Vestone, near their family homes, and celebrated at the renowned Carlo Magno restaurant in Collebeato, a suburb of the Northern Italian town of Brescia. A highlight of the evening was a slideshow organised by the couple’s friends, which had them in simultaneously in stitches and tears. The portrait of the two of them here was literally grabbed in a few seconds just as the sun was going down and a gorgeous sunset and red sky appeared; we had to be quick as a busload of “high spirited” friends happened to be arriving just as we were shooting and much teasing ensured from the bus windows.

Once again, a lovely day and an honour to be with such a lovely couple on this incredible day.
