Planning a wedding is an exciting journey, but it can also be a bit overwhelming. Between guest lists, dress fittings and finalizing details, the anticipation of the big day can sometimes bring a little stress. For couples looking to take a break, a pre-wedding photoshoot offers a unique way to unwind, enjoy each other’s company, and capture some unforgettable moments in a serene setting.

Why Choose a Pre-Wedding Photoshoot in Sicily?

Carla and Simone wanted their pre-wedding session to be a day focused on relaxation and connection—just the two of them- away from the hustle and bustle of wedding planning. Sicily, with its lush countryside, ancient history and warm atmosphere, set the perfect stage. Our chosen location, Colle San Mauro, is a countryside retreat nestled in the heart of Sicily, offering a luxurious escape complete with a spa, gardens and panoramic views.

Carla and Simone started their day in Colle San Mauro’s spacious lounge, where they enjoyed some quiet moments together. As their wedding photographer, I took the opportunity to capture these genuine interactions, the laughter, the shared glance and the sense of calm they shared. Surrounded by the rustic elegance of the Sicilian countryside, their stress seemed to melt away.

Indulgent Relaxation in the Heart of Sicily

One of the highlights was the couple’s time spent at the resort’s spa. Here, they enjoyed soothing massages, warm pools, sauna and total relaxation. The calming ambiance, combined with the scents of Sicilian herbs and essential oils, created a rejuvenating experience, which allowed them to connect with each other in a more meaningful way. I took advantage of the spa’s serene atmosphere to capture some candid shots, preserving these moments of tranquility and happiness.

After their time in the spa, Carla and Simone indulged in fresh fruit and prosecco, a perfect way to celebrate the beginning of their new life together. The entire day felt like a celebration of love and serenity, exactly the mood they wanted to carry into their wedding.

Why a Pre-Wedding Session is a Must

A pre-wedding session offers so much more than just photos. It gives couples the chance to escape the stress of planning, reconnect and feel at ease in front of the camera. As a wedding photographer , I always recommend these sessions in Sicily or wherever, as a way for couples to become familiar with their photographer. This comfort creates an authentic connection, allowing for photos that feel natural and true on the wedding day.

For Carla and Simone, their pre-wedding session at Colle San Mauro was a beautiful experience. The calm, relaxed atmosphere and natural connection they shared will shine through in their wedding photos, creating a lasting memory of their journey together. For anyone planning a wedding in Sicily, a pre-wedding session is the perfect way to take a breath, bond with your photographer and fully embrace the beauty of your love story.
