A Venice elopement session: Destination elopement in Italy

20 April 2017

A Venice elopement session: Destination elopement in Italy, ladies an gentleman, Oriana and Luca.

If love were a season it would be spring. A breath of fresh air with a flower bouquet scent.

Luca and Oriana, like all the people who are in love, they complete each other. They are the sun and the moon, music and silence. Just like in photography where the light wouldn’t sparkle much if it wasn’t for the darkness.

In Venice the light shines upon the water, it follows the narrow alleys, it reflects on the white windows of the gotic buildings.

It’s a unique atmosphere for all the people who are in love and want to express their happiness through photos which appear to have been defined by light, such as Alessandro Arena’s photography.

Give yourself the chance to live a love dream in Italy, an unforgettable sequence of moments which will represent the start of a new “Us”.

If your chosen destination will be Venice and you desire to plan a photography session, please enquire on our Venice packages on contact form. Oriana and Luca chose the premium package which included 4 hours of shooting and a boat tour in Canal Grande or gondola ride.

Marina&Daniel: “Destination Wedding Lake Maggiore” Switzerland.

11 April 2017

Destination Wedding Lake Maggiore: this time let me tell you about a wedding which was celebrated outside Italy, precisely in Switzerland.

When beauty is the element at the heart of a wedding, it’s inevitable that the photos will reveal a magic feeling.

For Marina and Daniel the big day had to be an intimate, romantic and and eclectic moment to be shared with their loved ones. It turned out to be just as perfect as it sounds: a small church in the heart of Canton Ticino (Santa Maria Assunta a Giubiasco), a unique location with a modern twist, just like the one in the “CENTRO DANNEMANN” in Brissago, an old tobacco factory on Lake Maggiore.

To complete the picture I would like to remember the bride and groom’s smiles on their faces which made the wedding even more memorable.

If your chosen wedding destination will be Italy or Switzerland and you are looking for a wedding photographer with reportage approach, contact us using dedicated form or write an email to alexarena@hotmal.com.

Following a selection of photos of the wedding reportage by Alessandro Arena.

Tanja&Marco’s wedding: “A touch of Sweden in Italy”

1 March 2017

A Swedish and an Italian. The couple Tanja and Marco reminds us of the “Dolce Vita” directed by Federico Fellini.

We are in Italy, we are in the region of lake, we are in in Varano Borghi (Varese), where the bride prepared herself in the fascinating suite at Villa Borghi, a luxury hotel and spa.

For the special occasion they chose a church close to Galliate Lombardo and then moved to Villa Bossi with all their friends and family, an elegant mansion built between the sixteenth and eighteenth century surrounded by an English-style park.

Villa Bossi is also a museum of music instruments making them available for the guests.

The wedding catering was managed by Bottega Lombarda, they provided an original Menu with a classical taste.

14 February 2017

Two photos were awarded at the WPJA Contest in 2016: Since the beginning of 2017 my photography has received several recognitions regarding not only the aesthetic value but also my attention to details.

My aim is to try and work like a story teller but at the same time to try and capture that “lost moment”, as we tend to remember it.

I am therefore proud that such a prestigious organization has selected two of my photos in the WPJA International Contest.

The first photo arrived 5^th in the ranking in the “Ceremony” category, the jury left a comment: “It happens. The proverbial stuck ring. This image is a storyteller, establishing a sense of the hapless groom and the charmed response of the bride.”

The second photo arrived 9^th in the “Touch” category and the comment left from the jury was “This is just a good, raw moment. Wonderful expressions and the photographer being at the right place at the right time”

Just to let you know, WPJA (Wedding Photojournalist Association) is a professional organisation made of photographers, photojournalists and wedding photographers from all over the world. What makes them unique is their documentary approach and their unique creativity skills for wedding photography.
