“Inspired by the old-world nostalgia of Sicilian summers, this shoot encapsulates the ripe sensuality and gluttonous, red wine-soaked overabundance depicted in Renaissance-era still life oil paintings. Seeped in Gothic imagery, this wedding editorial both breaks and pays homage to tradition with handmade textiles, heirloom treasures, tomatos, eggplants, figs, grapes, garlic, over-worn fabric, unpolished silver, dusk, an oil painting, and a humble feast.” – Nicoletta Minutella, DETTA
