Elvezia + Stefano

Elvezia and Stefano married at home, in the garden of the family villa just outside Milan. It isn't a venue and never will be. Every tree there has a story, and someone at the wedding could always tell it to you.

They said their vows in the summer sun, between old stone walls and tall trees, with the people closest to them a few steps away. Nothing was there for show. Every choice had a reason, and most of the reasons had a name.

Working with them was a quiet joy. They were thoughtful and warm with everyone, and their guests felt part of something larger than one day.

When a wedding happens in a place a family has lived in for generations, the garden does more than look beautiful. It brings the people who are no longer there into the day, and we felt them there all day.
