As a wedding photographer in Genoa, I love capturing weddings that feel genuine, where emotions take the lead over perfection. Cecilia and Leonardo’s celebration at Tenuta la Quercia, just outside Genoa, reflected that perfectly. Their day was warm, natural, and full of life.
The venue hides among green hills and feels like a secret garden. Surrounded by trees and nature, it creates a calm and welcoming atmosphere. The ceremony happened outdoors, under the soft September light. Without elaborate decorations, the beauty of the place and the people stood out. Guests laughed, cried, and celebrated together, creating a true sense of connection.
After the ceremony, the party continued in the garden. The couple wanted something informal, so they skipped traditional seating plans. Instead, tables spread freely across the lawn invited everyone to move, talk, and enjoy. The food by La Tavola Imbandita was incredible — especially the open-air BBQ that turned into the center of the evening’s fun.
The atmosphere stayed joyful from start to finish. Every moment felt spontaneous and alive. I focused on capturing that raw energy — the laughter, the gentle hugs, and the glances that tell their love story better than words.
What stood out most to me was how personal the celebration felt. Cecilia and Leonardo made choices that truly represented them. They created a day full of love, family, and friendship. It proved once again that weddings don’t need to be grand to be unforgettable. When emotions guide the day, simplicity becomes the most beautiful detail of all.
