Through the Old Streets of Levanto

Before heading to the beach, the couple took a quiet moment to wander through the old streets of Levanto, hand in hand. Stone archways and sun-warmed alleys set the scene for an intimate first dance and a stolen kiss, away from the crowds. This relaxed, romantic walk through the village captured the easy joy between them — a perfect prelude to their elopement in Cinque Terre.

The Love Session

For Janna and Adam, Levanto wasn’t just a beautiful backdrop — it was a sign. Janna’s surname is Levanto, and after visiting the town in October 2024, the couple knew instantly this was the place to say “I do.” Their love story began online during the pandemic, grew through quiet lockdown days, a shared home, two rescue pets, and countless trips together — and led them back to the very piazza where they first imagined their wedding day. Their Love Session captures exactly who they are as a couple: playful, easygoing, and fully present with each other, whether walking barefoot on the beach or laughing together at sunset on a boat.
