Villa Eva Wedding - Lauren & Callum

Lauren and Callum's Villa Eva wedding day atmosphere was totally infectious, there was so much love and good vibes, everyone had a blast.
Lauren was a super energetic bride, also the sweetest person, and a lot of fun to be around. Callum slightly more researved, easy to get along with, funny, and endlessly in love with Lauren and her energy.
Family and candid photos were very important to Lauren and Callum, so we made sure to capture all those little moments throughout the day. Often couples don't realize, but I can assure you these candid moments are the images that you will keep coming back to look at over the years. Not all the social media moments (although we love these too), but the genuine moments with the people you love and who love you. The people that make up your life's story.
The August weather took us on a little bit of a wild ride throughout the day. Luckily we made it into the Ravello duomo church just before a big rain storm struck, and by the time Callum and Lauren were married the rain was clearing up. Guests tossed rose petals, and then were joined by a lively Neapolitan band that got everyone up dancing through cocktail hour in the square. The Neapolitan band also accompanied the bride and groom and guests to Villa Eva, turning the walk into a party.
Throughout the day we all had a blast, as Lauren said, "rain seems to be a reoccuring theme throughout our relationship, so it only makes sense that it rained on the wedding day too."
Everyone smiled and partied on, my favourite kind of wedding!

Side note: I have been a long time lover of Black and White photographs. There is nothing that distills the play of light and shadow quite like a black and white photograph. Not to mention the timeless allure this classic monochrome provides. One of the reasons I really fell in love with photography was when I took a photography class about black and white film and developing. I always include black and white copies as well as colour images for my clients.
