A Queer Love Celebration – Puglia, Italy - Adriana Morais Photography

You know that feeling when you’re exactly where you’re supposed to be, like the universe gave you a little wink? That’s how I felt capturing this day in Puglia, southern Italy. A sun-drenched mix of ancient olive trees, whispering fig leaves, whitewashed walls, and love – bold, queer, free kind of love.

We gathered at the breathtaking Masseria Dagilupi, where everything felt warm and intentional. Every plate, every flower, every ray of light played its part in this story.

This was soft luxury: honest, quiet, full of texture and emotion. A vibe. A feeling. A love letter to slow moments and wild hearts.

This piece was featured in the beautiful Together Journal, and brought to life with the help of ATB Weddings, the brilliant wedding planner behind some of Europe’s most soulful celebrations.

As a feminist wedding photographer, neurodivergent and full of feelings, I’m drawn to stories like this – stories that don’t fit neatly in a box. Queer love, slow love, raw love. Moments that feel like exhaling after a long breath. And people who want more than pretty – they want meaning.

So if you’re dreaming of a destination wedding in Italy, or somewhere quietly magical in Europe, and want someone to capture how it feels – not just how it looks – I’d love to be there with you. Laughing, dancing, witnessing. Creating something that’s yours.
