Scottish wedding in Vatican City and Borgo di Tragliata, Rome
Sarah & Luca
Sarah and Luca travelled from Scotland to Rome to celebrate their wedding with family and friends.
Their day began with a unique ceremony in Vatican City, followed by a joyful celebration at Borgo di Tragliata, one of the most beautiful countryside wedding venues near Rome.
This destination wedding blended two cultures and traditions. The groom’s connection to Rome met the bride’s Scottish roots, celebrated with kilts and bagpipes and a spirit of pure joy. It was a wedding full of laughter, dancing, and genuine emotion. A beautiful gathering of people celebrating love, family, and the beginning of a new life together.
Thank you, Sarah and Luca, for allowing me to document your wedding in Rome and to witness such a vibrant and heartfelt celebration.

“I wanted to tell you that the wedding photos are truly beautiful. Unique and full of character. As we looked through the images, it felt like we were back there on September 22nd, in that special atmosphere. Everything seemed alive and in motion. Even the passing of time, from Sara's preparations to the final image, is tangible, fading from the early afternoon sunlight into the nighttime celebration.
The photographer captured the deep meaning of your day, and ours too: pure joy. That kind of happiness without shadows or hesitation, the shared warmth of affection that surrounded everything and everyone. From the sacredness of the ceremony to the joyful energy of both young and old, the emotions, the tears, the friendships, the strength of bonds, the family as a network of love, the children, the elderly, she captured it all, without freezing it in time.
What’s extraordinary about these photos is the movement, the vitality of life and feelings.
Each person was portrayed in their own unique character. Even the use of light is masterful and moving.
I’d say that Fulvia, the photographer, is not only an excellent professional, but a true artist. You made a wonderful choice in choosing her.”
