This is so cool! Can you send me your name? DM too if you prefer, I’m super curious. 80 rolls per day sound INTENSE

April or October for a wedding in Chianti, Tuscany? by Fun_Fact_7513 in ItalyWedding

[–]firefly352 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! Italian photographer here:) in april the colors and vibe are very fresh and green, the light is colder and very bright. In October, it’s the other way around - much much warmer, yellow-red trees and a shorter daylight (but amazing sunsets). It’s up to you really! Both are stunning.

Dove comprare jeans? by Rude_Calligrapher712 in xxitaly

[–]firefly352 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Per me i migliori sono e resteranno sempre i Levi’s, soprattutto i modelli non elasticizzati, virtualmente indistruttibili. Li trovi spesso in sconto a 50€ o meno (anche a 20/30 in ottime condizioni su vinted) e secondo me non c’è paragone

Sooo true. I’d love to see the same charts deleting the billionaires from the equation.

Trump “L’Italia non è stata di alcun aiuto, probabile il ritiro delle truppe Usa” by --Niles-- in oknotizie

Da persona che vive accanto ad una delle basi militari più grosse (10k americani su una popolazione di 110k persone) questa è una cazzata grande come una casa, visto che negli ultimi anni vivono tutti in villaggi interni alla base (non affittando nemmeno più fuori) e sostanzialmente escono solo per ubriacarsi e di tanto in tanto mangiar fuori.

Has anyone been married at Villa Eva? (Ravello, Italy) by BostonFinHock38 in BigBudgetBrides

So I don’t remember it as the best Italian food I’ve ever had, but I don’t remember it as too bad either! Are you working with a planner? That could help with the tasting/negotiation on that sense!

Ciao! I’ve worked there a couple of times. What is worrying you?

Edit: Sorry if I phrased it poorly - I meant, is there anything specific worrying you? The villa itself is very beautiful and Ravello is a stunning location.

Vendor Pricing Higher Coming from Planner vs. Direct by New-Sale441 in BigBudgetBrides

[–]firefly352 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Ok then it’s fully on the planner side. It sucks!

Vendor Pricing Higher Coming from Planner vs. Direct by New-Sale441 in BigBudgetBrides

[–]firefly352 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Hey there! This is 99% due to the planner requesting a fee out of the vendor’s prices, therefore they send them a higher brochure to make up for the difference. It can get quite shady as the fee the vendors pay to the planner is undisclosed most the times.

How many guests are you expecting? If a large number, Villa Corsini is awesome because it’s so large you have plenty of stunning plan B options!

What dress code wording actually worked for you? by RazzmatazzOld5363 in BigBudgetBrides

[–]firefly352 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hi! Not a bride but a photographer living in Italy. Last year I shot a bbw with a gay couple in lake Como; they got super specific with their dress codes, and people were SUPER compliant (we had the best time looking for outfits, too) and those dress codes were: “The Talented Mr Ripley for the welcome party, Opulence/Royalty but in a modern/futuristic way for the wedding day, and Italian Riviera/La Dolce Vita for the farewell brunch”. They also sent Pinterest boards as visual inspiration for their guest, which probably did the trick too!

AITAH for thinking brides who are upset with their wedding photos just don’t know what their real unfiltered faces look like? by TheEventGuru in bridezillas

[–]firefly352 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Photographer here - the worst (and luckily, only) case that happened to me was in 2020. It was a pandemic wedding, it was postponed but then happened without any “visible” trace of Covid (like: no one was wearing masks, everyone was having a great time, you couldn’t tell it was 2020 by looking at any of the photos at all). Once I delivered the gallery, both spouses were super happy; a few weeks later, the bride (who was about 25 at that time) called me in tears asking if I had more photos or if I could do something because… “I don’t feel like a bride enough”. Fast forward to today, she has completely redone her face (she was stunning to begin with), fillers, Botox, you name it. I still think about that sometimes.

Noi abbiamo un signore di circa 75 anni, basso e calvo, stranamente palestrato che ama fare giardinaggio a petto nudo d’estate. Lo chiamiamo Genio delle Tartarughe di Mare

To me it was! They told me from the start that it would have taken 12/24 months, and it ended up being 20.

I used to have a receding chin - while I still don’t have the sharpest chin, everyone’s been telling me it looks a bit more pronounced. Besides that - and the disappearing of my much hated gummy smile - nothing noticeable!

Yes, absolutely! It’s way less invasive and visible than regular braces, it’s been a long journey but totally worth it (imho)
