About the hair: I wanted to create an effortless and organic hairstyle that would last throughout the long day. I paired some clip in extensions with carefully weaving of hair to make a low, gathered style that hid a dark neck tattoo. I topped her style with a handmade, porcelain hairpiece from an Italian bridal designer. I love the end result! I knew the moment Justina asked me to be a part of the shoot I had to do it!
From the photographer, Justina Bilodeau: "For this inspiration shoot, our team wanted to convey not just a destination wedding, but some of the aspects of the Italian lifestyle that are such a draw to couples planning their events in Italy; so much of what is attractive about Italy to many people is the country's timelessly organic lifestyle - the unique architecture, serene landscapes, the robust flavors. We captured some beautiful boudoir shots of the bride during her getting ready, then take some pensive, private moments to write their vows before meeting on a hilltop to exchange them. Later they stroll through the village, treasuring the new feeling of being husband and wife. Finally, the couple adjourns to their celebration table, lovingly decorated with locally foraged florals, sumptuous linens and of course, overlooking the enchanting rolling slopes and valleys of Tuscany. After their intimate nuptials, our couple is shown spending time exploring an ancient Tuscan hill town with their market finds before returning to their cozy villa to prepare and enjoy a fresh meal together."
Monteverdi is a hotel on a hilltop, in a medieval village without paved roads or sidewalks. A hotel rich in history and character, it is set among sweeping views of sunflowers and vineyards. I truly relished my experience working with this team and this charming hotel and spa!
