Not quite traditional. And that's exactly what made it special.

There's something I love about couples who aren't afraid to do things their own way. And Haley and Ben's wedding at Villa Tasca in Palermo, Sicily, was exactly that.

Set against the historic architecture and lush gardens of one of Sicily's most beautiful villas, their celebration brought together old-world Italian charm and a distinctly modern, avant-garde approach.

What I loved most was the contrast. The grandeur of the setting paired with a celebration that felt anything but conventional. A little unexpected, a little playful, and full of personality.

Rather than following a particular idea of what a wedding should look like, Haley and Ben made it entirely their own. And that's what made it so much fun to capture on film.

A Sicilian wedding with its own rules, and all the better for it.
