Tomasza ViglianoThomas Vigliano, a professional photographer, beautifully captured the wedding at Domaine de la Rive in Savoie, weaving together a narrative that highlights both the grandeur and intimacy of the day. His artistry is evident from the initial preparations, which began in the bridal suite and continued in the main living room for the groom. The bride’s transformation was captured with exquisite detail, while a humorous portrait of the groom with five phones photographing him simultaneously added a playful touch.
Thomas’ images of the bridal preparation are masterful, with detail shots of the gown and rings that set the tone. The emotional moment of the bride descending the stairs to be greeted by her father is captured with warmth and sentiment.
Moving to the church ceremony, Thomas set the scene with both exterior and interior shots, capturing the sunlight filtering through stained-glass windows. His ability to immortalize the exchange of vows and rings, along with the couple’s knowing glances, conveys the depth of emotion shared during the ceremony.
After exiting the stone church to a shower of confetti and cheers, Thomas led the couple through a lush forest trail for an intimate portrait session that captured their love in a serene setting.
Returning to the Château de la Rive, Thomas’ photography highlighted the festive atmosphere. His low-angle capture of the ribbon-cutting game with the bride holding her bouquet is particularly creative.
The reception transitioned to a lively party, with the couple’s action-packed first dance and a grand scene of games on the dance floor. Thomas’ wide-angle black-and-white shot, framed through a stone archway, presents a dramatic view of the seated guests and chair jumping guests.
His final image of the couple at the venue’s stone archway over a rustic wooden door ties the narrative together beautifully. The gallery of images from this Domaine de la Rive wedding demonstrates Thomas Vigliano's talent in capturing the dynamic flow of the day, with images that are both artistically composed and emotionally resonant.
