Giorgia and Luca chose to celebrate their entire wedding at Rocca Visconteo-Veneta in Lonato del Garda. Their civil ceremony took place within the old fortress walls, where the historic setting gave solemnity to the vows without taking attention away from the couple’s spontaneous emotions. The venue is officially authorised to host civil weddings in its outdoor spaces.
Giorgia wore a fitted wedding dress entirely decorated with floral lace. The strapless bodice was accompanied by soft detachable sleeves, while the slender silhouette and small bow at the waist added a contemporary touch. Her long veil followed her movements naturally as she walked through the grounds of the Rocca.
Built on one of the hills of the morainic amphitheatre, the fortress overlooks the southern area of Lake Garda, the historic centre of Lonato and the Brescia plain. Its lawns, stone walls and ancient ramparts offered different perspectives for the couple portraits, especially in the warm light that outlined Giorgia and Luca as they walked together.
Since the ceremony, reception and portraits all took place within the same venue, I could follow the day continuously and without interruptions. Through my wedding reportage approach, I photographed gestures, laughter and moments of closeness as they happened, creating a natural story that preserves both the historic atmosphere of the Rocca and the emotions shared by Giorgia and Luca.
