Surrounded by breathtaking views, timeless elegance, and a touch of Italian magic, this bride and groom said “I do” in the enchanting setting of Castello Odescalchi Bracciano on Lake Bracciano. Every detail of this luxury celebration was carefully crafted to perfection with the help of Daniela Sforna —an unforgettable union of style, romance, and pure emotion, all captured on camera by Andrea & Federica.

This luxury-with-an-edge wedding event began with photographer Andrea & Federica documenting the invitation suite flat lay by Pluma Creativa sprinkled with coffee and crumbs. This messy, edgy element complemented the luxury details of the invitations themselves.
Bridal style: Italian heiress
The bride went for a natural glam look courtesy of Lauteri + Isabella Avenali to complement the heiress-inspired one-shoulder ballgown from Zuhair Murad.
