Wedding photographer at Villa Rizzardi

Villa Rizzardi stands in the hills of Negrar, in the Valpolicella wine area north of Verona, surrounded by the vineyards of the Guerrieri Rizzardi estate. The horseshoe-shaped villa was given its present look in the 19th century, when Filippo Messedaglia restored it in a mix of Baroque, Renaissance and Neoclassical styles.

The real star is the Pojega garden, designed by Luigi Trezza, with a green theatre of hornbeam and cypress that is one of the best preserved in Italy, a belvedere, a circular temple, a secret garden and more than 60 limestone statues. The villa hosts events and ceremonies in these settings.

Photographing your wedding here

A theatre made of living hedges is one of the most unusual backdrops I know. I would photograph you on its stage, under the hornbeam arches and among the statues, then walk up to the belvedere for the vineyards in the evening light.
