Nelly and Max’s wedding in Venice was truly one of the most emotional of the season.

How intimate can a wedding be?

This year, I’ve had the chance to witness several weddings organized with a very limited number of guests. But this wedding in Venice topped them all: a true elopement of a few days in one of the most beautiful and sought-after cities in the world.

Just over fifteen people for three days away from Milan—that’s how Nelly and Max’s wedding unfolded. What they didn’t skimp on was taking the time for a long stroll for their photo shoot and exploring the city together.

The images of this wedding in Venice capture all the most meaningful spots.
