Eugene is from the distant and cold Siberia, and Nadia is from the banks of the Volga. They met three years ago, and the adventure led them to breathtaking Florence for their enchanting elopement.
Alexandra Gera, the photographer, captured the softness and tenderness of this celebration in her photos. She has a special talent for capturing the warm glow of sunsets and the delicate glances between newlyweds. Her photos are like stills from an Italian movie – classy, charming, especially in black and white. They are the true embodiment of Italian romance.
Although the couple adores surfing and the ocean, for their honeymoon they chose magnificent Italy: “It’s hard to imagine a more romantic place on Earth than Venice, and the breathtaking views of Tuscany are simply mesmerizing: avenues of cypresses, vineyards, and olive groves. The villages of Cinque Terre are so vibrant and unique, like nothing else. Italy is all about love, beauty, delicious food, and incredible emotions that we wanted to share with each other.” shared Nadia.
“For our wedding photos, we chose stunning views of Florence and a cypress grove. Our photographer, Alexandra, captured not only us but also people passing by,” the couple continued. Their outfits fit perfectly with these views: a sleek, white dress with a long train, trousers and a white shirt — they looked like movie stars.
The day concluded atop a hill, revealing spectacular landscapes of the evening city, its warm night lights, and the mountains beyond.
“Looking at our amazing photos now, we realize that we made the right choice in terms of our journey’s destination and our outfits! It’s exactly what we wanted, and a photoshoot was a must! At the very least, it instilled a sense of beauty in the children who will look at these photos. At most, it helped our memories in old age, reminding us of how beautiful it was!” – concluded the couple.
