Amy Messerschmitt and Braden Bullard were paired together when both needed a plus-one for date parties at the University of Oklahoma. They found themselves together once again when Braden asked Amy to attend a formal with him, after which, they began dating. Finally, one warm day in San Francisco, Braden asked Amy to marry him. Amy centered her wedding around one simple rule: “I wanted that picture-perfect moment,” she remembers. “I wanted to get married where the background was everything.” That search led the couple to the scenic Caruso, a Belmond Hotel on Italy’s famed Amalfi Coast, where in front of 25 guests, they said “I do” with a view.

The Next Step

With historical architecture at every turn, the couple embraced the many opportunities to capture breathtaking shots. This church, called Chiesa di San Giovanni del Toro, dates back to the 11th century and is located across the street from the Caruso. “We had our first look on the steps,” shares Amy.

The limited-edition Vespa 946 Christian Dior was parked outside the hotel. “They were kind enough to allow my photographer to move it to the church for our photos!” says Amy.
