This young couple loves Tuscany. They met there and loved to have their engagement shooting there. The beautiful villages of Cinque Terre would be the perfect setting for their engagement. They chose “Vernazza” as the place to go. The very small fisher-village lies directly at the sea. With its colorful houses, it makes a perfect backdrop for our lovebirds. They strolled through the village down to the sea where they enjoyed a magnificent sunset.

How They Met

Melissa & Edoardo are an Italian couple. They met for the first time at school. One day Edoardo invited Melissa to go see him surfing and that was the day their beautiful love story started. Both of them are lovers of nature, tattoos, and good wine. They like to spend their free days in the Tuscan countryside. They are also both artists and often paint together.

Cinque Terre

They both love the picturesque small villages of Cinque Terre, Liguria, Italy. Cinque Terre comprises five villages and we chose Vernazza as the place to go. Vernazza is also part of the UNESCO World heritage. It is an old fishing village and there are still today no cars allowed in the village.

We started the day meeting in the hills at the church, then strolling down through the village, enjoying all the lovely places we could shoot. After having a fine glass of the famous local red wine together, we finished our shooting down at the shore where the sun-kissed the sea… so romantic.
