A Wedding in Verona at 1600-Century Wedding Venue

When I showed up at the stunning Villa San Bonifacio, a wedding venue outside of Verona, I was met with a bunch of happy people right in the middle of decorating the outdoor patio with Italian string lights and beautiful flowers.

Let me set the scene.

Imagine a centuries-old Italian Villa in the Verona countryside, tall cypress trees, a gorgeous pool area, and the most beautiful view over the Valpolicella wine valley. Yep, that’s right, It’s genuinely like something straight out of a movie.

But it’s no secret that I absolutely adore photographing intimate destination weddings. There’s something so special about being invited to participate in such a milestone event. When Christy first contacted me about the possibility of me photographing their upcoming wedding outside of little now, I couldn’t be more excited. Christy and Cole crafted the most heartfelt and special day and brought their closest family and friends with them.

But planning a wedding, especially overseas, can be daunting for any couple, with so many decisions to make about the guest list, venue, and other details. As a couple, you want to create a wedding day that is special and meaningful for both you and your guests.

Couples like Christi and Cole, who have opted for an intimate wedding, have shared that it was one of their best decisions. They felt a more profound sense of connection with each other and their guests and were able to create a unique and personalized experience. By keeping the guest list small, they got more time with their guests, could engage in meaningful conversations, and create an intimate and authentic atmosphere. An intimate wedding also allowed them to personalize the details and create a memorable experience that reflected their personalities.

Having an intimate wedding has several advantages. Firstly, it allows you to create a more personalized and meaningful experience that reflects your personality and style. Secondly, it creates an intimate and authentic atmosphere, as you can choose a venue that suits your preferences and focus on creating meaningful moments with your loved ones. Thirdly, it provides you with more time to spend with your guests and to truly appreciate the love and support they offer you.

An intimate wedding can offer many benefits, from creating a unique and personalized experience to providing an opportunity to truly spend time with your loved ones. If you want to create a wedding day that truly reflects who you are as a couple, consider an intimate wedding and experience a day filled with love, intimacy, and cherished memories that will last long after the wedding day ends.
