This was a special one for me friends. From our first phone call together I knew Philena and I were instantly connected. Inevitably, I was looking forward to their wedding for a long time.

Philena is an actress and Luca an engineer. She’s from the mountains of Southwest Virginia, he’s from the mountains of Italy. (See the connection? Leave it to the mountains to bring people together, I just love that). From their sweet beginnings meeting in Chicago, to Virginia, to Italy, it all came full circle for their wedding day in August.
