Nina and Fredrik met while studying in Turku, Finland, where Fredrik was coaching a women’s volleyball team and Nina walked into practice one day, instantly knowing he was the one. What followed was a nearly year-long pursuit. While Nina fell quickly, Fredrik’s love grew steadily, and after ten years of traveling the world, moving countries, and building a life together, they were married in Italy. Deeply inspired by their love for Italy, Nina and Fredrik envisioned a relaxed yet unforgettable city wedding captured by Moko Photography and planned with the help of Lovely Weddings Italy.

Fredrik chose a tailored navy three-piece suit made in Stockholm. The overall aesthetic was timeless, elegant, and perfectly suited to the Tuscan setting.
