Leaving the ceremony under a shower of petals

Wedding venues amid the greenery of the Novara countryside

Wedding at Parco Le Cicogne, Barengo

Barengo, in the countryside north of Novara

The light arrives filtered through the leaves

Centuries-old trees, a small wooden bridge and wide open spaces: Parco Le Cicogne is designed for a ceremony held entirely immersed in nature.

I walk with the newlyweds along the tree-lined paths during portraits, letting the light filtering through the leaves do much of the work.

Parco Le Cicogne grew up around the old Cascina Clementina, on the edge of Barengo, and over time became a four-hectare private park designed to host weddings and events. Its inner pond and centuries-old trees give the place the feel of a garden that grew up slowly, far from the traffic of the province.

The ceremony is held outdoors, among lawns and intimate corners well suited to couple portraits in the hours before sunset; on colder days, the indoor spaces and wide terrace let the celebration continue without losing touch with the greenery around it. It's a soft light, filtered through the leaves, that helps tell the story of the day naturally.

I move among the guests without breaking the rhythm of the celebration, to catch the moments that would otherwise be lost: a glance, a laugh, the first dance seen from a distance.
