Robert & Rakeem – April 8th, 2023
A candle-lit intimate same-sex wedding in venice
Robert and Rakeem flew in from Colorado to experience Venice in its most intimate form: a private, romantic celebration filled with luxury, joy, and honest emotion.
We met them at their majestic royal suite inside Ca’ Sagredo, and the love between them was tangible from the very first moment. We started with a quiet walk through the streets of Venice; seeing the city’s beauty through their eyes was simply magical.
Wanting to keep their vows completely private, Robert and Rakeem shared them on the iconic staircase of Ca’ Sagredo. Just the two of them, eye to eye, in total stillness.
After a few portraits – and a quick Venetian spritz! – their closest friends joined them and a private dinner was served in the breathtaking Sala della Musica. An intimate, mirrored table filled with candles and white orchids shone beneath the historic frescoes, setting the mood for an unforgettable evening.
To end the night on a high note, we all walked together toward Piazza San Marco to enjoy the quiet Venetian atmosphere -complete with some fun, paparazzi-style night portraits.

An intimate same-sex wedding in Venice
A sweet couple from Colorado – Robert and Rakeem chose Venice for an intimate, luxurious celebration built entirely around them.
From getting ready inside their royal suite at Ca’ Sagredo to sharing private vows on the grand staircase, every moment felt real and deeply emotional. After a walk through the city streets and a classic Venetian spritz, they hosted an intimate candlelit dinner inside the frescoed Sala della Musica, surrounded by white orchids and mirrored details.
Joined by their best friend for speeches and late-night laughter, we wrapped up the evening with a midnight stroll to Piazza San Marco for a few flash-lit, paparazzi-style portraits.
