A Wedding Story

Niamh & Kristian

Niamh and Kristian, from Ireland, chose Rome for their destination wedding, exchanging vows at the Basilica of San Silvestro in Capite before celebrating at Hotel de Russie. A drive through the city in a vintage convertible connected the ceremony to an intimate reception in the hotel’s Secret Garden. Against stone balustrades and lush greenery, aperitivo gave way to dinner around a shared table, filled with laughter and raised glasses. Photographed by Fabio Schiazza, the story brings together the elegance of a Roman wedding with the relaxed warmth of a celebration among family and friends.
