A Christmas prewedding in Turin between lights, architecture and real life
This Christmas prewedding in Turin tells an intimate and urban story, lived during the holiday season while walking through some of the most iconic areas of the city. Beatrice and Gianluca chose to experience their prewedding session as a real moment, without forced poses, letting space, light and the natural rhythm of the city guide the narrative.
This Christmas prewedding in Turin unfolded as a genuine walk through the city, made of waiting moments, people passing by, lights already on and others that would come later. A story that embraces the city as it is, without turning it into an artificial set.
Christmas prewedding in Turin: starting from the Bosco Urbano
The Christmas prewedding session in Turin began in the Bosco Urbano, set inside the courtyard of the Intesa Sanpaolo building. A surprising and intimate space, enriched with many Christmas lights, able to create a warm and welcoming atmosphere right from the start, despite being located in the heart of the city.
Here, the first photographs were taken using the natural light of the late afternoon together with the Christmas installations, capturing the sense of anticipation and the beginning of the journey.
The internal staircase leading to the Gallerie d’Italia exhibition space
Inside the same building, the Christmas prewedding in Turin continued along the internal staircase leading to the photographic exhibition space of the Gallerie d’Italia.
This architectural passage allowed us to work with clean lines, top-down perspectives and strong geometries, turning the space itself into a narrative element. At this stage, the story becomes more graphic and contemporary, while always keeping the connection between Beatrice and Gianluca at its center.
Piazza San Carlo: the living room of Turin as context
Leaving the building, the Christmas prewedding in Turin moved through Piazza San Carlo, the elegant living room of the city. At that time of day, the square was not yet illuminated by the evening Christmas projections, which appear only later in the day.
Photographing Piazza San Carlo at this moment was not a decorative choice, but a narrative one: it was meant to contextualize the place, to show where we were, accepting the reality of the moment and the urban rhythm, without forcing a festive atmosphere.
Galleria San Federico and the Christmas tree
The journey of this Christmas prewedding in Turin continued inside Galleria San Federico, where the Christmas tree was set. An elegant and sheltered space, perfect for spontaneous images and moments of intimacy.
Here the story becomes softer and more intimate, supported by artificial light and historic architecture, maintaining a balance between the Christmas mood and everyday life.
Returning to the Bosco Urbano for evening images with flash
As night fell, Beatrice and Gianluca returned to the Bosco Urbano for the second time. This is where the Christmas prewedding in Turin changes its tone: the evening images were created using off-camera flash, a distinctive element of my approach to night photography.
Artificial light helps separate the couple from the background, creating depth and a more cinematic atmosphere, while still preserving a natural and authentic feeling.
The red heart at San Carlo dal 1973 courtyard
The session then reached the San Carlo dal 1973 courtyard, where the red illuminated heart installation was placed. In this location, only one single photograph was taken, due to the large number of people and the constant queue waiting to take pictures with the installation.
For this Christmas prewedding in Turin, the red heart becomes a symbolic element rather than a decorative one: a single, essential image that represents the Christmas season without turning it into a forced backdrop.
Closing between Piazza San Carlo and Via Lagrange
The story ends in the gallery connecting Piazza San Carlo to Via Lagrange, a lively passage constantly crossed by people. Once again, real life becomes part of the narrative: movement, flow and the city that never stops.
The final photograph, taken under the Christmas lights, closes this Christmas prewedding in Turin with a warm and genuine image, leaving the feeling of a story that continues beyond the frame.

A Christmas prewedding is a way to tell a story about time, place and connection, even before photography itself.
