From the moment the day began, it was clear that Elayna and John’s wedding would be one to remember. Elayna prepared for her big day in a loft adorned with beautiful paintings, setting a serene and inspiring atmosphere. I had the privilege of capturing her final moments of preparation with her closest friends, adding a personal touch to their wedding story. Before the ceremony, Elayna and John shared a private first look in the Italian garden of the hotel, surrounded by marble statues and lush greenery.
This intimate moment was pure magic – just the two of them, taking in the beauty of their surroundings before stepping into one of the most important moments of their lives.
With the expert help of Weddings on Demand, their vision for the day came to life in the most breathtaking way. Elayna looked stunning in a Danielle Frankel gown and Manolo Blahnik shoes, while John exuded elegance in a Ralph Lauren suit. Their after-party saw Elayna change into a chic Clio Peppiatt dress, perfectly paired with Miu Miu ballet flats for an evening of dancing.
The reception was held in a grand galleria designed by Giovan Francesco Grimaldi in 1672. The space’s timeless beauty took everyone's breath away, creating unforgettable moments for Elayna, John, and their guests. The table settings, in shades of red with plexiglass chairs, complemented the modern yet romantic atmosphere, seamlessly blending with the historical surroundings of Hotel Vilon.

The festivities began the night before with a welcome dinner at Luciano Cucina Italiana, where everyone enjoyed delicious Italian food under the Roman sky.
I also had the chance to capture Elayna and John’s engagement session, exploring the charming streets of Rome, and creating memories that would last a lifetime.
