Foto shooting in Florence


For our Italy-heritage campaign for our upcoming e-commerce boutique, we went for a foto shooting to the city of my dreams in Florence, Italy. The team was in a good mood and top motivated. International fashion photographer Marco di Filippo and Trine- Marie Skouwen from TM Studio Productions arranged the shooting. The hot summer spirit of the city welcomed us, and we bumped into the crowds of Piazza Signoria just around the corner of our base, which was an old Renaissance building.
Model Elonna was soon with us and not too much impressed to be shot in the middle of the crowd. She immediately attracted the attention of dozens of tourists in the middle of Michelangelo sculptures and famous buildings. However, for her, they were not existing.
As the capture went on, the morning became hotter and hotter. Marco showed a sporty attitude by carrying his equipment at almost 40 degrees even over the Ponte Vecchio, showcasing his famous Italian charming smile. He must have been used to it. We shot some beautiful panoramic scenes, including the picturesque bridge in the background, but as the light of the day became glaring and started to hurt our eyes, it was definitely time for a nice break.
We decided to move already to our afternoon location, a 5 Star boutique hotel in the hills of Fiesole, to enjoy the garden and shadow in the baking heat of the midday.
We found the hotel in a miraculous peaceful rest and the fantastic staff created the impression as if we were just visiting good old friends in a villa who were so generous to let us take a rest for a while. After we passed the sleepy hotel library, we found the terrace which offered a breathtaking view from the top of the cathedrals and skyline of Florence.
I went for a Cesare salad, which looked tempting from the outside, and we continued with the shooting after lunch. For Elonna, we were inspired to do some portraits with stunning historical backgrounds and jewels and lingerie. In the end, we toasted on someone's birthday with a glass of champagne.

We were all quick off back to the centre of Florence to enjoy the nightlife.

Destination weddings have become increasingly popular over the years, as couples opt for a more intimate and memorable way to tie the knot. Whether it's a beach wedding in the Caribbean or a mountaintop ceremony in the Alps, destination weddings provide the perfect opportunity for couples to celebrate their love in a unique and breathtaking setting. And what better way to enhance the beauty of such a momentous occasion than with individual, comfy, and informal silk designs and lab-grown diamond jewelry?

Silk is the perfect fabric for destination weddings, as it provides a comfortable and lightweight feel that is perfect for warm weather locations. It is also versatile enough to be dressed up or down, depending on the style and formality of the wedding. Individual silk designs are becoming increasingly popular among brides who want to showcase their personal style and preferences, while still maintaining a level of elegance and sophistication. Grooms, too, are opting for silk shirts and suits, which provide a cool and comfortable alternative to traditional wedding attire.

Lab-grown diamonds are another great addition to any destination wedding. Not only are they a more affordable and ethical option than mined diamonds, but they also offer the same level of brilliance and beauty. With lab-grown diamond jewelry, couples can feel good about their purchase while still enjoying the luxury and elegance that comes with diamond jewelry. From engagement rings to wedding bands to bridal jewelry, lab-grown diamonds are the perfect complement to any destination wedding.

So, what are some ideas for incorporating individual, comfy, and informal silk designs and lab-grown diamond jewelry into your destination wedding?

For the bride, consider a silk dress that is simple yet elegant, with a flowing silhouette and delicate lace details. Pair it with lab-grown diamond earrings and a necklace for a touch of sparkle and sophistication. Grooms can opt for a comfortable silk shirt with slacks or shorts, paired with a lab-grown diamond tie clip or cuff links.

For the bridesmaids, consider silk dresses in a variety of styles and colors to showcase their individual personalities. Each bridesmaid can then add their own lab-grown diamond jewelry, such as stud earrings or a simple pendant necklace, for a touch of elegance and charm.

For the groomsmen, silk shirts in various colors can be paired with slacks or shorts, along with lab-grown diamond tie clips or cuff links for a touch of sparkle.

In conclusion, destination weddings provide the perfect opportunity to incorporate individual, comfy, and informal silk designs and lab-grown diamond jewelry into your special day. Whether it's a beach wedding or a mountaintop ceremony, silk and lab-grown diamonds offer the perfect combination of comfort, elegance, and sophistication. So why not make your destination wedding a truly unforgettable experience with these stunning and sustainable options?
