This Italian love story is filled with romance and simplistic beauty. Pulling from the natural landscapes of the Amalfi Coast and stunning architecture of the five-star resort – The Grand Convento di Amalfi – artist and stylist, Kristy Rice, created a swoon-worthy photo shoot. Each piece of stationery was hand-painted with “the Amalfi coast as our only muse,” says Rice. This photo shoot “is a lesson in reserved expression and refined styling but with plentiful personality.”
