Elegant Destination Wedding in Rome: Kayla & Brandon at Casale Doria Pamphilj
Just outside the historic center of Rome, surrounded by lush countryside, sits Casale Doria Pamphilj—an exclusive estate designed for romantic weddings and full immersion in Italian charm. With its sprawling green spaces, stylish interiors, and accommodation for guests, it’s a dream venue for couples seeking a unique destination wedding experience.
That’s exactly what Kayla and Brandon, a joyful Irish couple, envisioned for their big day. And I had the incredible honor to be their destination wedding videographer, capturing a love story filled with laughter, elegance, and emotion.
Bridal Prep and First Looks at the Casale
The couple prepared for the day in the beautiful guest rooms of the Casale. With sunlight streaming through rustic windows and the sounds of birds in the trees, both Kayla and Brandon got ready surrounded by loved ones.
One of the most emotional parts of the day was the first look—first with their parents, and then with each other. These intimate moments were filled with heartfelt emotion, joyful tears, and unforgettable reactions, all captured in my signature blend of candid and editorial filmmaking.
A Ceremony in the Green Heart of the Estate
Set in the vast green lawn that stretches beneath the estate, the symbolic ceremony was breathtaking. Under the open sky, surrounded by nature and their closest family and friends, Kayla and Brandon exchanged vows and sealed their promises.
This moment was both elegant and emotional, made even more powerful by the natural beauty of the Casale’s surroundings. The video captures their energy, the emotion in their voices, and the timeless atmosphere of the Italian countryside.
Couple Session with Aperitivo and Gelato
After the ceremony, the newlyweds celebrated with a toast and shared a gelato—a sweet Italian twist that made their couple session even more playful and authentic.
In just 20 minutes, we captured a blend of cinematic poses and natural interactions. They wanted a video that felt spontaneous yet stylish—and that’s exactly what we created: editorial elegance balanced with genuine emotion.
Dinner, Speeches, and the First Dance
As the sun dipped lower, dinner was served in a beautiful alfresco setting with fairy lights and long tables. The speeches were touching and full of humor, reflecting the deep bond between the couple and their guests.
The celebration continued with their first dance under the stars, followed by a lively party. Every laugh, every embrace, and every moment on the dance floor was filmed with care, preserving the joy and the legacy of their wedding night.
