Norwegian wedding under the olive trees

Norwegian Wedding in Olive Groves Luca Vieri Photographer

A romantic ceremony among the olive groves of Andora, nestled in the splendid Ligurian countryside.

From evocative preparations at the Gianni Di Muro salon in Alassio to a romantic ceremony among the olive groves of Borgosozzo, there is a unique magic when Nordic simplicity meets the golden light of the Ligurian Riviera.

The hills above Andora have long been a sanctuary for Norwegians, a bond famously inspired by explorer Thor Heyerdahl, who found his home in the peace of Colla Micheri. Jon Inge and Hanne celebrated their Norwegian wedding in the heart of this landscape, choosing the rustic-chic charm of La Casa del Priore for their reception. Their day was a beautiful testament to the enduring love between Norway and the authentic Ligurian countryside, a story I was honored to capture through my lens.

Getting ready: Gianni di Muro, Alassio
Norwegian ceremony: Borgosozzo, Andora.
Reception: Casa del Priore, Andora

Luca’s Tip: If you are planning a wedding in Andora, the stunning borgo ligure of Colla Micheri is an absolute must-see. This hidden pearl is where Thor Heyerdahl, the legendary protagonist of the Kon-Tiki expedition, chose to settle, captivated by the timeless beauty of the countryside. Having photographed many stories here, I can guide you through the area’s most exclusive secrets: from glam preparations in Alassio (at the Gianni Di Muro salon) to a ceremony among the silver olive groves of Borgosozzo. For a reception that embodies the true Ligurian soul, La Casa del Priore remains a sublime choice, while the breathtaking Rocce di Pinamare offer the perfect cinematic backdrop for portraits overlooking the sea.
