Photographer’s Vision
February 30th Stories, known for capturing raw emotion and authentic beauty, envisioned this shoot as a creative exploration of modern bridal aesthetics. Collaborating with Alessandra Carcasci, the concept emerged from a brainstorming session and evolved into an extraordinary expression of art and love. The team’s synergy brought a playful yet thoughtful energy to every moment, resulting in images that feel both natural and thoughtful.
Concept Behind The Shoot
The heart of this shoot lies in its stripped-back, gracefully chic aesthetic. Maison Matilda, located in the heart of Treviso, served as an impeccable backdrop. The venue’s light sage walls, contemporary furnishings, and versatile spaces harmonized beautifully with the desaturated color palette of the shoot.
Its classy, modern vibe resonated perfectly with the black, white, and subtle green tones of the styling. Maison Matilda’s ability to seamlessly intertwine historic charm with contemporary style made it an inspiring choice for this exceptional shoot.
Bridal Fashion
The bride’s journey through this styled shoot began with a serene and elegant morning. Dressed in delicate lingerie, adorned with soft white gloves, and framed by sunlight, she exuded quiet beauty. The photographer beautifully captured these tender moments, highlighting the charm and stillness of the morning preparations. Valentina Frison’s skillful touch with makeup and hair brought out the bride’s natural radiance, emphasizing simplicity and grace.
The fashion choices, curated by Atelier Emé Treviso, told a story of timeless elegance and confident expression. The first look featured a lace gown that blended intricate detailing with a romantic silhouette. Paired with classic ivory Jimmy Choo heels, pearl earrings, and a birdcage veil, it was the epitome of subtle elegance.
Then came a striking change. The second look — a stunning black gown — became the centerpiece of the shoot, highlighting the bold and sophisticated blend of dramatic and minimalistic elements. Oversized sunglasses and statement jewelry completed the ensemble, showing that modern brides can embrace both tradition and bold innovation. The bouquet — an artful arrangement of lisianthus and greenery tied with a white ribbon — perfectly complemented two styles. Each detail, from accessories to styling, wove seamlessly into the theme, creating a bridal aesthetic that was both bold and beautiful.
Groom’s Look
Not to be outshone, the groom’s styling by Riccardo Bernardele embodied effortless elegance. A tailored black suit, paired with a silk shirt featuring long scarf-like accents, evoked the elegance of a bygone era, reminiscent of grand balls and classic sophistication. This nod to historical aesthetics added depth and uniqueness to the ensemble.
The ensemble was elevated with a statement belt and minimalist accessories, adding a touch of boldness to the otherwise classic attire. The addition of Ralph Lauren shoes complemented the look, making it a perfect match for the bride’s refined attire. In an outdoor sequence, the groom added flair with a white blazer, harmonizing with the bride’s bold black gown.
Melodies, Memories, and Motion
The couple moved into a cozy room, where a vinyl record set the mood with its timeless melodies. This small touch of retro charm added depth to the shoot, blending nostalgia with romance. As the couple danced effortlessly, their connection radiated warmth and intimacy. February 30th Stories captured this perfect moment with vivid storytelling, inviting viewers to imagine their own celebrations filled with music, love, and unforgettable memories.
Decor & Florals
The dinner table was a true masterpiece of design, brought to life by Mexichic Flowers under the expert direction of Vanessa Lanzafame Events. Ikebana-inspired arrangements of white anthuriums and roses graced the table, accented by green pearls and delicate black taper candles that added an element of drama.
Alessandra Carcasci’s stationery, with its clean lines and sage accents, seamlessly integrated into the setup, enhancing the overall aesthetic without overpowering it. Together, these details created a cohesive yet artistic centerpiece, radiating both simplicity and style.
Cake, Champagne, and Style
As the shoot transitioned outdoors, the couple added a touch of modern elegance to Treviso’s historic streets. The bride’s bold black gown and the groom’s crisp white jacket created striking contrasts against the warm, timeless architecture. Their playful laughter, relaxed poses, and effortless chemistry brought a sense of joy and lightheartedness to the scene.
The finale of the shoot featured a sleek black-and-white cake by Divina Creazione, embodying simple elegance. Paired with a champagne toast in chic glasses, the moment encapsulated the spirit of celebration. Each detail — from the bride’s playful enjoyment of the cake to the refined decor — was a testament to the shoot’s perfect balance of style and spontaneity, leaving an unforgettable impression of beauty and creativity.
