Francesca & Lorenzo

It was an absolute pleasure for us to witness and capture the beautiful union of Francesca and Lorenzo, and to get to know their wonderful families. Their wedding nestled in the picturesque landscape near Rome was a truly special occasion.

This couple is truly special. Francesca is a precise person, always ready to party, tireless, and always cheerful and available for everyone. She is a passionate paediatrician, loves travelling, and is eager to discover the world. Lorenzo, on the other hand, is an otolaryngologist with a good heart, albeit a bit messy and absent-minded. In spite of his shyness, Lorenzo knows how to be a real ‘badass’ when he finds himself the centre of attention. But deep down, he is a generous person and attentive to his surroundings. Between them, they complement each other beautifully, mitigating each other's character traits and creating a harmonious balance.

The decision to celebrate their wedding at Tenuta di Ripolo perfectly reflected Lorenza e Francesca personalities and their shared dream of a romantic and memorable day.
