The wedding of Christina and Reed was a magnificent fusion of culture and elegance on the Italian Riviera. Christina, honoring her Albanian heritage, and Reed brought their families from America to the historic halls of Villa Durazzo in Santa Margherita Ligure.

The day began with the couple preparing inside the villa’s opulent, frescoed salons. After a joyful first look between Christina and her bridesmaids, the outdoor ceremony took place on the grand terrace. Framed by iconic palm trees and overlooking the sparkling harbor near Portofino, it was a picturesque moment of pure emotion.

Following a sunset aperitivo, guests moved inside for an elegant dinner filled with heartfelt speeches. The energy truly peaked during the reception near the villa’s historic well, where the couple celebrated with traditional Albanian dances. As a videographer, capturing the vibrant energy of these spirited dances against such an aristocratic backdrop was a highlight of the day. It was a perfect blend of high-end luxury and authentic family traditions.
