Forget The Day After: These Photos Are Proof Pre-Wedding Shoots Are the Next Big Thing

There’s something so special about the days before a wedding. The anticipation, the butterflies and the even the quiet moments before the celebration are all worth cherishing, which is why this pre-wedding shoot is kind of the best idea ever. Julia Kaptelova photographed this couple’s session set in Northern Italy, and the gallery is filled with inspiration like you wouldn’t believe.

From Julia KaptelovaJulia is originally from Russia and Gianluca is from Italy, 3 years after their fateful meeting in Thailand they decided to tie the knot, their wedding took place in North of Italy, but before it we made a pre-wedding photoshoot in Tuscany a in a magnificent 15th century villa Mangiacane built by the Machiavelli family. This unforgettable place in a heart of Tuscany with historic past gave unique atmosphere to all photoshoot. Delicate pink shade of villa perfectly matched color of bride’s gown by Anna Kubanova, hand-made diadem by Muse-for-me and vintage ring completed the look. In the evening we had a walk in olive groves and vineyards that surround villa, admiring sunset and the scenery of idyllic tuscan nature.
