A Wedding Story

Zoe & Frederick

Zoe, from Australia, and Frederick, from Switzerland, chose Rome—the city of their first important journey together. They returned to Hotel Locarno, where their story had first begun, before exchanging vows at the Waldensian Church. After a quiet walk through the Campidoglio, they welcomed their guests at Villa Blumenstihl. Elegant, intimate and deeply felt, the day carried the timeless warmth of Rome.
