WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER AT CASTELLO ODESCALCHI - BRACCIANO

Rising above Lake Bracciano, just outside Rome, Castello Odescalchi is one of the most spectacular castles in Italy. Roxana & Kyle, who live in the United States, chose it as the final chapter of a three-day wedding weekend designed by Jolanta Mila: a welcome dinner at Taverna Capranica near the Pantheon, a Capri-style evening at La Lanterna by Fuksas above the rooftops of Rome, and then the castle. As their Castello Odescalchi wedding photographer, we had the joy of capturing a celebration that felt both grand and deeply personal, later featured in ELLE Italia.

The ceremony, a Persian rite in honor of Roxana’s roots, took place in the gardens of the castle on a mirrored aisle that reflected the sky, the ancient walls and the pastel flowers by Jolanta Mila, between rows of gold chairs, as the late afternoon light washed over the towers. A lace veil lifted by the breeze, a kiss among the blooms, and the people they love on their feet around them.

A night in the courtyard

As night fell, the courtyard of Castello Odescalchi came alive with light, its walls painted with flowers and swirls of red, as guests gathered for dinner beneath the towers and a quartet of musicians in scarlet gowns played among the tables, a scene later featured in ELLE. Then came the first dance, and a party that went on long into the night. Our photographs of the castle also appear in Wezoree’s guide to the best wedding venues in Rome.
