Wenlan & Enze

This was a fabulous elopement of a Chinese couple coming from the USA with a few guests.

From the early stages of planning, I felt it would be a particular elopement: the bride, Wenlan, expressed a very sophisticated taste regarding the decor and every minimal detail of the wedding preparations. It was a real pleasure for me to satisfy all her needs and requirements regarding their Big Day in Sicily.

Taormina and Castello degli Schiavi were chosen as a stage for Wenlan and Enze’s love story.

With only 4 hours of photo shooting, we could include:

 

  1. getting ready at the Ashby Hotel Taormina.
  2. the couple’s first look in the garden of the Ashby Hotel Taormina.
  3. Scroll down by foot in the city centre of Taormina and the municipal gardens. It was early October, so the streets were still crowded. The couple wanted a relaxed shoot with as few people as possible, so we chose the appropriate spots, bringing them away from the city hassle.
  4. Moving from Taormina to the ceremony venue by a fashion retro car.
  5. Handfasting Taylor-made ceremony at Castello degli Schiavi or so-called Villa Corleone. We adapted the central entrance of the villa and transformed it into a giant arch made of flowing fabric crowned by yellow, white and peach roses and flashy greenery with a retro touch of ancient-style pillars. The ceremony was conducted by me in person in English, with the help of a violin as background.
  6. After the ceremony the couple participated in the last photoshoot inside the villa and in the outdoor spaces, that have witnessed the most famous scenes from The Godfather trilogy.
  7. as the conclusion of their Big and Perfect day, the retro maggiolino has brought them back to Taormina where a 2-star Michelin restaurant was booked for them and their friends for the extraordinary sensorial and enogastronomic journey into Sicilian cuisine.
