Capturing Xanath and Luigi’s wedding in Italy was a true honor. This multi-day celebration, set against the beauty of Italy, brought together family and friends from across the world for an unforgettable experience. As a destination wedding photographer, moments like these remind me why I love telling love stories in such breathtaking places.

The journey began with a welcome in Napoli, followed by a day exploring Rome and a Mexican-style welcome party—celebrations filled with warmth, laughter, and the merging of two beautiful cultures.

The Wedding Day: Ceremony at Piazza San Pietro and Reception at Tenuta Pantano Borghese
The heart of this adventure was the wedding day itself, held at Piazza San Pietro, Vaticano, Roma, Italia, a location as iconic as the love shared between Xanath and Luigi. Surrounded by historic architecture and the blessings of family, they exchanged vows in a beautiful, intimate ceremony. The evening continued with a spectacular reception at Tenuta Pantano Borghese, where stunning floral designs by @tequierofelizxb and authentic Italian cuisine by @sciamannini.ricevimenti added elegance and joy to the celebration.

A Papal Blessing to Seal the Union
The day after the wedding, Xanath and Luigi received a special blessing from the Pope at the Vatican, a rare honor that added a profound spiritual layer to their union. This extraordinary moment capped off an already meaningful journey, marking a memory that will forever remain close to their hearts.
