Katie and Dario were married a couple weeks ago at a private home in Paradise Valley. Actually, not just any home, but one of the few original Frank Lloyd Wright homes that is still in its original condition with all the furnishings and architectural elements, and owned by the U-haul family, friends of Katie’s family. Photographically, I tried to incorporate the unique architecture when possible since it provided some interesting lines and details.
Their love grew quickly and by the end of her short stay in Rome, they decided that they would either break up or move to the same country to actually give the relationship a chance. So they rented an apartment in Rome, but when Katie came home to Phoenix for Christmas that year, Dario came with her to meet her parents, and they decided it would be better for both of their careers to come to America instead. Dario learned to speak English in something like 6 months and their love has grown into a beautiful relationship!
A sweet one I loved of Katie and her Dad, right after he saw her for the first time.
I love these next two… the two doors, the light, the movement. I also think they provide a little symbolism for the day; how she is walking out of one door into another.
Watching Dario walk up to the house – and not wanting to be seen. :-)
Waiting with Dad right before the ceremony started.
At the ceremony, Dario’s sister translated the vows into Italian since their parents do not speak English.
Loved this sweet moment between Katie and Dario’s Mom right after the ceremony. Katie is fluent in like 4 languages, so she speaks Italian perfectly!
I dont know why, but I really love this one. Just something about it to me, the feeling.
Some pretty details from the day. Each table represented a city in Italy and were handmade by her friend.
Congratulations Katie and Dario! It was an honor to spend the day with you and photograph your beautiful wedding.
