Wanderlust Women Travel™

Every bride wants the focus to be on her for her wedding day, yet when your destination wedding is in Italy, you will share the stage with more than 2,000 years of wondrous history and magnificent scenery.  So, it’s best to work with a destination wedding photographer who knows how to make the couple shine among the most beautiful backdrops the world has to offer.

Italian-American born photographer, Rochelle Cheever, now calls Rome home and it is her intimate knowledge of Italy and its beauty and culture which she adds to a bride’s special day.  She can capture the special moments of an engagement in Tuscany, a wedding in Italy or an Amalfi Coast honeymoon.

Each region is unique and a bride should take that into consideration when deciding where and when for the big day.    Rochelle says the Tuscan landscapes, orchards, vineyards and olive trees, meander through the never-ending hills, providing a real earthy theme.   The greens and gold continue into Florence where such colors are reflected in the marble inlays of the Duomo and along the Ponte Vecchio.

Rome, on the other hand, is all about architecture, the beauty of stone can offer a neutral backdrop to almost any color.  Just think how hot pink stands out against the cool colors of the ruins and the curves of the arches in the Coliseum.  (Certain locations in Rome require a permit so work with an experienced destination photographer who knows the local scene well!)

Moving south to my favorite region and the Amalfi Coast, a bride can shine with the colors of spring nearly year-round. The sea is an ever-changing pool of azure, teal and turquoise.  The orange and lemon trees and bougainvillea jump off the screen in any photo.  Rochelle suggests communicating your desires and dreams to your photographer well in advance so that the end product meets your goals.  Afterall, these photos will capture a moment in time for a lifetime.
