01
From central Florence to Villa Colazzi
Lada and Vladimir’s wedding moved between two very different Florence settings. Preparations at Four Seasons Firenze gave the morning a refined city-hotel atmosphere, while Villa Colazzi opened the celebration into the Tuscan landscape.
That contrast is one of the reasons the gallery works so well. The photographs change as the locations, light and energy change rather than forcing the whole day into a single visual style.
02
Four Seasons Firenze and Elie Saab
The preparations were photographed at Four Seasons Firenze. Lada’s Elie Saab dress gave the morning a strong editorial element, but the coverage stayed rooted in the people around her rather than becoming a fashion shoot.
The morning at Four Seasons Firenze was one part of Lada and Vladimir’s wedding journey. After preparations, the setting changed to Villa Colazzi and the Tuscan countryside for the celebration.
03
A Tuscan destination wedding setting
Villa Colazzi gave the wedding a different scale from the morning in Florence. The architecture, gardens and open landscape created space for larger frames while the documentary coverage stayed close to the couple and their guests.
I prefer to use a venue like this without turning the wedding into a location tour. A focused portrait session is enough when the setting is already strong.
04
A high-production celebration that still feels personal
The wedding was planned by Atom Events and later featured in Tatler. Lada’s Elie Saab look and a cake by Peggy Porschen added to the scale and polish of the celebration, but the complete gallery still works because the coverage moves between design, portraits, family, guests and the energy of the evening.
