I’m so excited to share these gorgeous images with you all today. This shoot styled by Joy Proctor at the Moda e Arte Workshop takes place on the Amalfi Coast in Italy in an old hotel dating back to the 11th century. With a focus on architecture, Italian romance, and gorgeous landscapes, these photos by Heather Payne are overwhelmingly beautiful.
From the designer…To highlight the delicate juxtaposition of natural beauty and the true artisan talent reflected in the architecture and art, I chose a color palate of light blue, cream, gold and ochre. I chose the ruins of the old Roman baths as the backdrop for our dinner table, which I set with antique monogrammed silverware, detailed stoneware china and delicate etched glass champagne coupes. Ornate gold candelabras and candle sticks lit the table just as the owners of the palace may have done centuries before. I placed taper candles into the frescoes surrounding the dinner table, and chose a beautiful gold cake stand for the cake — which was also placed into a fresco.
