The Wedding of Justine and Nicolo at The Church of S. Nicolo

We all knew the best was yet to come. We had flown from all over the world to share this joyous occasion and we knew it was going to be all we dreamed and more…and it was. Justine was radiant as she stepped out of the car and made her way to the church and her Uncle Bradley looked resplendent in his uniform. Nicolo looked handsome and happy as he waited in the church with its golden frescos on the walls. Everyone was smiling and then the music and the Mass began…

In Padua-the celebrations continued-Burnside becomes Magni

Padua greeted all of us warmly; we had sunny skies and perfect weather every day. We stayed in hotels across the city-all wonderful. The Burnside and Magni family’s planed cocktail receptions and parties and left time for us to explore on our own. Everyone seems to eat pizza, pasta and gelatos every day and are all slim, chic and smiling. It is delightful to wake up here and pick up my new Canon 5D Mark 2 and explore its potential. The women here ride their bicycles in high heels…

Venice

” This was Venice, the flattering and suspect beauty – this city, half fairy tale and half tourist trap, in whose air the arts once voluptuously blossomed, where composers have been inspired to lulling tones of somniferous eroticism.” and where we began the romantic wedding celebration festivities of Justine Burnside and Nicolo Magni.
