Editorial photo and video shoot at Villa La Rondinaia: luxury location for destination weddings on Amalfi Coast for exclusive events

Villa La Rondinaia is an exclusive resort dedicated to host luxurious events, it was once the private paradise of the famous American writer and screenwriter Gore Vidal.

We are on the Amalfi Coast, literally in a “nest” of swallows (hence the name), embedded in the cliff. An architectural example of genius, beauty and views, exclusive set of our photo and video editorial wedding shoot organized in collaboration with Danila Minetto, wedding planner and owner of DAMA Wedding, a full-service event planning company. With its large outdoor spaces: gardens, terraces, tree-lined avenues, the Villa represents the ideal place for refined and exclusive events. Immerse yourself in the extraordinary coastal landscape and let yourself be captivated by the multiple shades of the crystal clear sea!

The photographic and video project was inspired by the surrounding landscape: the blue of the sea, the shades of corals and obviously the rays of the sun caressing the lush Mediterranean coast. We wanted to create a photo and video shoot with a strong visual impact, whilst being in harmony with the beauty of the Amalfi coast.

The shoot has acquired a higher level with Peter Langner’s gowns. He generously lent us three of his magnificent creations, each of them very different from each other in terms of line and materials. The first dress called “Ocean” was characterized by simple lines, but in coque organza with a rich and elaborate texture. It was worn with natural hair down and a light makeup. This beautiful work was taken care of by Alessandro Mancino. The second dress “April” was an example of romance and modernity. It was embellished with floral applications and lace sleeve slid. Last but not least, our model wore the magnificent dress “July”, a large pink powder gown in pleated tulle and bodice finely embroidered with palette inlays of the same nuance.

The symbolic ceremony was held on the wonderful terrace, Danila used golden circular elements to symbolize the cyclicity of life and infinite love. To enrich everything, Giovanni Castellano – flower designer – has created compositions of great charm and romantic modern touch.

About the “mis en place” Danila decided to play with contrasts: in the middle the runner she placed in blue teal organza laid on an ivory tablecloth, the gold cutlery combined with the delicacy of transparent and light blue crystal glasses and the coral charm peonies combined with candles in different shades of blue. Ultimately with this shoot you will have the chance to breathe the most authentic atmosphere of the Amalfi Coast. The Rondinaia with its enviable position, its wide open spaces and its exclusive suites, all overlooking the sea, is one of the most evocative, secret and unique corners of the Amalfi coast.
