Ksenia &
Samuel

Lucca, Italy

Italian romance met modern chic with this intimate destination wedding. Samuel and Ksenia gathered with their closest friends and family at a stunning villa tucked in the rolling hills outside the walls of historic Lucca, Italy. This LA-based couple are talents in the wedding world as well as close friends of mine. The groom and I grew up together in the PNW—we even took our first photography class together in middle school—and it was so special to celebrate these two from behind the lens. 

Ksenia and Samuel celebrated in style with a rehearsal dinner in the heart of Lucca, followed by a ceremony in the dreamy Tuscan countryside. The bride stunned in a custom gown by Michael Costello, while the groom donned a tailor-made Evan DeLaney and Jimmy Choos.
