Elena & Daniel

Rome, Italy

— Back to galleries

After falling in love in Australia following their match on Tinder, Elena and Daniel finally said I do to each other in Elena's home country of Italy. I had the absolute honor of capturing Elena and Daniel’s wedding, a day filled with love, laughter, and unforgettable moments. Their ceremony took place in the stunning Duomo of Anguillara Sabazia, a beautiful lake-side town on the outskirts of Rome. As Elena walked down the aisle of this breathtaking church, light poured in from ancient stained-glass windows, and sounds of the ancient church organ filled the space. It was a perfect setting for such a deeply meaningful ceremony, where two souls and two families came together as one.

The celebration continued at Il Postiglione, a rustic, elegant hotel in the countryside just outside Rome. There, guests were treated to an authentic Italian reception, complete with incredible cuisine. The star of the meal was the tortellini—handmade and bursting with rich flavors that left everyone wanting seconds and thirds (including me!). Daniel’s heartfelt speech, which he delivered in Italian, moved everyone, bringing both laughter and tears, as he honored Elena’s family and culture with his words.

Elena and Daniel’s warmth radiated through every detail of their day, making it a joy to capture. Here’s to the beautiful future they have ahead—a future as full of love and joy as their incredible wedding day.

The Details

Our sincerest thank you to you both, Daina and Lorenzo, for giving us such an amazing experience. The work that went into all the little details was certainly noticed and what you captured for us, whilst blending in seamlessly as guests was just incredible. Thank you so much. Best in the business.

Daina, it felt as though you were part of the family, you captured our day so elegantly and effortlessly. The photos are incredible, it's like they're straight out of Vogue! We cannot thank you enough, you're incredibly talented.

Omg Daina!! I woke up to your email and I was crying within seconds. They just brought us back and we love them so much. I literally couldn’t stop looking at the pictures Chris was like “we’re going to be late you have to stop and get ready!” Thanks again so much for everything-you guys definitely made the day what it was. Ugh thanks again! I’m going back to stare at them all.

Our experience with Daina was, in a word, incredible. We had a small, intimate wedding and were initially on the fence about whether we needed a photographer but thank goodness we did and that we found Daina!

Daina made us feel so comfortable with the photography plan in the lead up and on the day it was just like having an extra friend there! She put all of us at ease and allowed the day to flow naturally while still ensuring to capture everything. The best was yet to come though and that was in the form of the simply beautiful photos that Daina produced for us. She captured the day so perfectly but also us as a couple. We are forever grateful to her!
