Alessandra & Andrea on VOGUE
It’s no secret that in life, a dose of courage and recklessness is needed to grasp our dreams. This is exactly what Alessia and I thought as a Defender brought us down from 2,300 meters in the middle of the night, through forests and barely passable roads from the Punta Jolanda refuge.
I’m particularly happy to see this work featured on Vogue today, for the value of having created it with my life partner, for the beauty and joy I experienced during those days, for the friendship that blossomed with Alessandra and Andrea, and for the suppliers we worked with.
It’s impossible to fit the full story into this small space, so the more curious can find a more detailed selection through the link in my bio on Vogue Italian Alps.

Over the past months I’ve mentioned how I’ve brought a 4x5 view camera back into my workflow. Winter allowed me to slow down and spend time with it.
These images come from home.
The season is beginning to unfold, and I’m looking forward to taking it with me.

Happy to finally share our ceremony photographs from Sicily. Lacie and I exchanged vows in the early morning light, overlooking the Tyrrhenian Sea at Grotta delle Colombe, an intimate and secluded setting that felt entirely our own.
We always knew we wanted to elope, and being able to get ready together in such a beautiful location made all the difference.
Lacie was breathtaking in @daniellefrankelstudio , framed by the water and the quiet stillness of the coast. I created her bouquet with the intention of mirroring the cascading lines and barely there structure of her gown- designing it to feel equally weightless, as though it were softly floating rather than being held.
We were deeply grateful to work alongside two of our longtime favorites, photographer @giusmarano and videographer @diegonapoleonefilms .
We will be sharing more details with you over the next few days.
Thankful for the love, warmth, and beautiful sentiments, shared with us as we begin this new adventure together.
Laura & Vainius, 2025
A few months ago I shared a first glimpse of this beautiful elopement.
Today, it finds its place on VOGUE
Thankful to all those who were part of this quiet, generous experience.
