NICOLE & NICHOLAS
Forever in the Eternal City
Nicole and Nicholas’s wedding weekend had the glamour of an Italian film. It began at Six Senses Rome, where the city felt close enough to be part of the gathering. Above the rooftops, Nicole wore a slip dress with roses at the shoulders, her hair loose in the afternoon sun. Their portraits move from the terrace into the hotel’s mirrored lift, bringing a more intimate mood to the welcome evening.
At Villa Aurelia, Nicole’s Berta lace gown and matching choker met Nicholas’s white dinner jacket. There is a fashion-editorial confidence to these photographs: her direct gaze, his kiss on her hand, the two of them standing apart in the tall doorway. In black and white, the veil catches the light around her; in colour, the warmth of the villa and the gardens returns.
They exchanged rings beneath the chandeliers, with their guests gathered around them. Outside, the mood opened up. Friends waved white napkins as the couple arrived for dinner, and the grandeur of the villa became the setting for a much more familiar scene.
Planned by Giulia Monaco, the reception filled the gardens with long tables and flowers by Ceccotti. Guests lingered over the seating plan, talking in the last of the sunlight before taking their places. The photographs stay close to the company as well as the couple — an exchange between friends, a shared laugh, the pleasure of being dressed for an evening in Rome.
