A Villa Aurelia wedding in Rome: portraits, guests and celebration

What does a wedding story in Rome include?

Alaia and Marian’s wedding at Villa Aurelia centres on the couple and their guests. The selection includes portraits, the ceremony, a family photograph, the setting and an evening outdoors. Together, these parts tell the story of the celebration. The coverage you choose for your own wedding depends on the memories you want to keep.

Couple portraits and time with your guests

Give couple portraits a clear place in your plans. Discuss whether you would prefer a quiet moment before the ceremony or afterwards. Light matters, but so do the distances involved and the time you want with your guests. I guide you during the shoot; you do not need to arrive with poses prepared.

For family and group photographs, a short list of the combinations you want is helpful. Work out when everyone can gather and who can help bring people together. A shared portrait is different from an unposed interaction during the celebration, and both may matter to you.

What information matters for a wedding in Italy?

Include your date, venue and outline schedule in your enquiry. Is everything taking place in one location, or will you move between venues? Would you like preparations and the evening photographed too? These questions are more useful for deciding coverage than a general recommendation for a fixed number of hours.

Discuss an alternative for moments planned outdoors, and confirm available spaces and access with your venue. Travel, photographic coverage and other requirements are agreed in your individual proposal. This photo story does not describe Villa Aurelia’s general booking terms.

How do you choose the right photographic coverage?

Think through your celebration: which people and moments would you like to see in your photographs afterwards? The chapters in Alaia and Marian’s story can help you decide. Note what appeals to you and tell me what you would like to do differently. That gives us a starting point for your own day.
