Ruth & John — April laughter between Rome and Casale Doria Pamphilj


Ruth and John wanted a wedding that was, above all, a celebration with the people they love, and Rome in April was the perfect setting for this story.

The day began in the heart of the city, with the ceremony in the church of S. Silvestro in Capite, one of the lesser-known gems of the historic center. Then the couple and their group of friends moved to Casale Doria Pamphilj, where the garden hosted the couple's photos in the soft mid-afternoon light. Dinner in the indoor hall soon gave way to the cellar, which became the stage for contagious laughter and impromptu toasts. No direction, no pauses: just the reportage of a wedding where the true star was friendship.
