Luxurious Italian Wedding / Sam + Dante

Samantha and Dante’s faces are no strangers to this website - I’ve plastered their gorgeous selves in as many places as I can. They’re not only fantastic clients, but also my neighbours! I’ve gotten to photograph them on 4 separate occasions thus far, and it is always a treat. Their June wedding at the Arlington Estate in Kleinberg was no exception. They surrounded themselves with just the warmest people, and despite it being a big wedding, it still felt so enjoyable.

The couple got ready at their respective parents’ houses, which always infuses a nostalgia to the morning. Gifts and shots were exchanged. Sam and Dante then saw each other for the first time at the end of the church aisle, reunited.

The decor at their wedding was truly something out of a magazine - Wild Theory Floral knocked it out of the park. Not to mention, their planners, Muse Event Co, who ran the day so beautifully. We took the wedding party out onto the Arlington Grounds in search of cool shaded areas, though they all looked so fabulous no matter where we put them. We even utilised a rented vintage car for some portraits with the couple.

During golden hour we snuck the couple out behind the building where the most beautifully coloured sunsets always occur, and it did not disappoint once again. These two were meant to grace the covers of Italian Vogue.
