A Tuscan-style private villa set among gentle hills became the setting for a pre-wedding photo shooting designed and coordinated by Rogdaki Events, with creative direction by Anna Maria Rogdaki. The stone walls, terracotta roofs and structured outdoor areas of the villa provided a clear architectural framework for the session, while the surrounding landscape offered multiple spots for portraits and couple shots.
The Villa and Outdoor Setting
Cypress trees line the property and frame the villa, creating natural vertical lines that work effectively in photography. Around them, gardens with roses, lavender and wisteria add colour and texture. Paths with cobblestones, stone staircases and small terraces give the couple different levels and angles to move through, allowing the photographer to build a diverse series of images within one location.
Design by Anna Maria Rogdaki & Coordination by Rogdaki Events
The overall styling of the shoot was curated by Anna-Maria Rogdaki, who focused on how the couple, flowers and outdoor elements would appear in frame. The selection of bouquet, accessories and key spots within the villa was made with the camera in mind, so that every scene would read clearly in photographs.
The team of Rogdaki Events coordinated timings, movement through the property and the practical details of the day, ensuring that the shooting followed a structured plan without limiting the couple’s natural interaction.
Photographic Flow and Use of Natural Light
Throughout the session, the couple moves across different parts of the villa: walking along cobblestone paths, stopping under wisteria-covered archways and pausing between tall cypress trees. The photographer works primarily with natural light, adapting angles and positions as the light changes during the day. This approach allows for clear, balanced images that highlight both the couple and the architectural and floral elements of the villa.
Pre-Wedding Shoots in Private Villas
A pre-wedding photo shooting in a private villa offers a controlled environment with multiple backgrounds in a single location: gardens, stone details, pathways and open views. For couples who want a structured yet natural setting ahead of the wedding day, Rogdaki Events and Anna-Maria Rogdaki provide design, styling and coordination so that the location, schedule and photographic needs are aligned from the beginning of the planning process.
