As promised more of Elena & Gregory’s wedding celebration (see Day 1 here). Elena and Gregory both live in Florence and work at the Florence Opera where they met. Elena is Italian and American. She grew up in Italy with lots and lots of trips to American and San Francisco where her mother’s family lives. Gregory is French. So this was a truly international celebration! Anyway it seems it was about a year ago when I got the first email from Elena asking if I would be willing to come to Italy to shoot her wedding. I really had to think hard about it…for all of about 2 seconds. Yes, Yes, Yes! So for a year I enjoyed the most wonderful email correspondence with Elena who thankfully speaks both English and Italian. Then finally September rolls around and I head off to Italy and finally got to meet her and Gregory in person. And what a wonderful celebration the wedding week was! Elena styled the entire wedding herself and it was perfection (see contact info below, she’s taking weddings for 2010). There was love and laughter and of course music! So here it is, Day 2 of Elena & Gregory’s super duper Italy wedding. Baci!

Leigh, I have to remind myself to close my mouth when I look at your posts. Drool is so unbecoming.
