Amy was the wedding photographer at Malcesine Castle & Al Corsaro, Lake Garda, Italy for Matthew & Dinah’s wedding.

No sooner did I land back into Umbria and I packed up the car for Lake Garda and Malcesine, which I now know like the back of my hand! Malcesine Castle followed by a reception at Al Corsaro was the order of the day for the intimate, romantic and emotional wedding day of Matthew & Dinah. Laughter and tears all day long but over all, a very, very happy day.

Matthew, all ready and waiting for Dinah to arrive.

And here she is!

Dinah’s son gave her away and gave her a hand getting up the steps to the terrace in Malcesine Castle!

Matthew couldn’t hold back the tears.

An over-view of this very special ceremony spot.

The deed is done and Matthew is so happy that the tears flow again.

Happy family shot.

Possibly my favourite from the whole day – just love it!

Something a bit different here for me. What a landscape!

Gorgeous.

Guests were waiting at the Castle entrance with the confetti.

Time for a photo shoot around the picturesque town of Malcesine…

… before the Bride & Groom led the way in their tuc-tuc to the great restaurant of Al Corsaro on the water-side.

Matthew & Dinah’s gorgeous son.

Bubbles please!

Tables are set for the meal. Great location.

Best man in full-flow!

Hysterics!

Lovely.

Such a gorgeous day. Thanks -Amy x

Amy was the wedding photographer at Malcesine Castle & Al Corsaro, Lake Garda, Italy for Mike & Donna’s wedding.

Back up to my old favourite – Malcesine on Lake Garda. I honestly know this little place like the back of my hand now. Luckily, I love it and could never tire of going. I met up with Mike and his guys first and we had some time for photographs in the beautiful Palazzo dei Capitani. This was great fun and Mike was very happy to stay in the shade given that temperatures were hitting 40 degrees once again. Would this heat-wave never end?
Donna got ready in a gorgeous apartment on the edge of town and I loved the way that the couple did a private ‘reveal’ about an hour before the ceremony at the Castle. Being witness to such a special moment is a huge honour.
The ceremony in the castle was lovely. Photographs around town afterwards followed by a wonderful and emotional reception at Al Corsaro. I love this venue – it’s hidden away, the views are gorgeous and the food is divine – a great choice and a great day overall. A quick peek:

Poser!

Posers! (Only joking :-)

Beautiful.

Love this one of Donna doing her make-up.

The ‘reveal.’ Such a special moment.

Mum reads her note from Donna. Gorgeous.

Donna helps Dad out with his final touches.

A blazing hot ceremony.

Under the olive trees after the ceremony.

I found this lovely little hidden alley-way that I hadn’t photographed in before. Love this one.

Mike’s speech was hilarious – one of the best.

Told you it was funny.

Eat, drink, chill, repeat.

Stroll along the lakeside path as the sun goes down.

A gorgeous day in every way. Thanks guys. -Amyx

Amy was the wedding photographer at Malcesine Castle & Al Corsaro, Lake Garda, Italy for Phil & Lianne’s wedding.

Back up to beautiful Lake Garda and the wedding of Phil & Lianne at Malcesine Castle followed by a reception at Al Corsaro. I’ve photographed in both venues on many occasions and know Malcesine town and the Castle like the back of my hand however, this wedding offered a new adventure for me and that was a trip over to the town of Limone. I’ve travelled nearby on boats many times but have never had the opportunity to jump off the boat and see the town itself. I loved it! It’s very colourful and was great for the guests and it made for an activity-packed wedding day.

Just outside of the bar that we stopped at in Limone, there was a fountain that reminded me exactly of the one at the start of Friends. The bridesmaids had bright umbrellas and so I had great fun behind the lense for the half hour that we were there. Take a peek:

Phil & Lianne got ready at the beautifully-placed Lake Front hotel.

Lovely bouquet and colour-theme.

Love this one of Lianne and her girls.

Emotional moments.

Happy times after the ceremony.

Confetti!

Heading back to Malcesine now and a unique view of the town.

A bit of time down some of the Malcesine back-streets with the Bride & Groom.

Al Corsaro now all ready for the guests to arrive.

Bubbles!

Love this one taken during speeches.

Sun starting to set now and the Bride & Groom have had a glass or two of bubbly :-)

Love this one.

Catching the garter!!

Time for a PhotoBooth!

Made it to the First Dance.

What a fun-filled, busy, fabulous wedding day! Thanks to Phil & Lianne for having me capture it for them. Amy x
