Samantha and Lavdrim couldn’t wait any longer to celebrate their love and they decided to get married in Lugano with an intimate and moving ceremony.  A religious wedding celebration would follow with families and friends in Tuscany next year. 
We really loved this wedding; Lugano is beautiful, very elegant, and sophisticated and everything was bright and full of positive vibes that day!

After the ceremony, Samantha and Lavdrim raised glasses to toast their special day with their parents, groomsmen and maids of honour. After the little toast we spent some time away to take some portraits of them in the secret courtyard of the City Hall. We can’t tell you how much we loved this part! A place so intimate and magical, with incredible stone arches! They had also a lovely vintage Fiat 500, we couldn’t stop photographing them!
