From the Designer & Stylist, Chiara of Scent of Orchid…The overall design and inspiration for this shoot started with the rustic elegance provided by La Baronia and the Barcelona surroundings, a typical Spanish style. When the amazing photographers The Komans asked me to join them in Spain for an editorial, I instantly fell in love with La Baronia’s architecture and view and proposed it to them.
We thought the best choice for the shoot would be to have a minimalist yet lush floral design. Liz of Siloh Floral was the perfect option when it came to choosing the floral designer who could create something beautiful and unique for our project. I wanted everything we brought into this shoot to represent Sandra and Mario’s love story while completely harmonizing with the architecture of the mansion – from La Baronia illustration that is included in the wedding invitation suite created by great professionals Ana and Alessandro from Carissimo Letterpress, to the vibrant and soft palette that contrasts the stone facade.
For the bridal styling, the bride wore a first look for the ceremony, with a long lace dress with a deep slit and Spanish style sleeves by Atelier Penhalta paired with exquisite lace décolleté by Bella Belle Shoes. My most favorite bridal accessories were the custom made crowns by Eden Luxe Bridal that perfectly framed the elegant beauty of Sandra. For jewelry, I wanted to keep it very simple, so I chose small, drop earrings by Eden Luxe paired with a simple gold engagement ring with a beautiful green gem from Italian artisan My Golden Age. The reception look is an Atelier Zolotas gown that enhances the sensuality of Sandra, with sheer and lace details and a soft tulle skirt.
For the ceremony and reception design, I wanted both spaces to be very simple, letting the couple be the eye-catchers. For the ceremony, Liz by Siloh Floral designed a beautiful hanging installation, under which the couple exchanged their vows. For the reception table, I styled a neutral and soft table set with gold accents, to allow the beautiful centerpiece by Siloh to be the focus of the table. Elegant chairs and table textiles from Nuovi Piatti complemented the flawless tabletop rentals from Canigueral. Claudia and Laura from Canigueral provided me all their beauties, allowing me to choose the delicate lace plates, the vintage glassware and gold vintage cutlery between their sophisticated collections. Each place was adorned with an elegant menu and calligraphy place cards. The celebration ended with a delicious cake by the very nice Eugenia by Lolita Bakery and a romantic last dance at sunset on the panoramic terrace of La Baronia.

Hi, we’re Marlene & John — The Komans. It’s been awhile since we’ve introduced ourselves. We’re a husband and wife photography and cinematography team, specializing in luxury weddings across the globe.
With over 14 years of experience and more than 400 weddings captured together, we bring a deep sense of care, professionalism, and artistic intention to every event we document. From intimate celebrations to multi-day destination weddings, our focus has always remained the same: to create timeless, emotionally rich imagery that stands the test of time.
Originally based in California, we moved to Tuscany nearly four years ago, where we bought and restored an old stone farmhouse. It’s here, surrounded by beauty and light, that we raise our two young boys and continue to craft meaningful stories for our couples around the world.
Our style is rooted in storytelling and guided by light — always looking to create natural, beautiful compositions that feel both effortless and elevated. We appreciate fashion, design, and refined details, and we absolutely love capturing those elements thoughtfully. But we believe great photography goes deeper. It’s about knowing when to step back, observe, and let moments unfold with intention — not just clicking constantly, but truly seeing.
We’ve remained consistent in our vision over the years, not swayed by trends, but always evolving with purpose. Our clients trust us to deliver work that reflects who they are — elegant, honest, and full of feeling — with a style that’s clean, luminous, and artfully composed.
Whether you’re a couple planning a wedding, a luxury planner curating an unforgettable experience, or a fellow photographer seeking aligned values — we’re here for those who believe in the power of legacy-driven storytelling, where every frame is captured with meaning and care.
