Roxette and Joe’s Mermaidcore Wedding at Tonnara di Scopello, Featured on Vogue.fr
Featured on Vogue.fr, Roxette Arisa and Joe’s wedding at Tonnara di Scopello was a visually powerful celebration shaped by the Mediterranean, fashion, mythology and a deeply personal mermaidcore aesthetic. Set in one of Sicily’s most iconic locations, surrounded by sea stacks, crystal-clear waters and the ancient architecture of the tonnara, Studio d’Essai created a cinematic wedding video designed to capture not only the beauty of the event, but also its intimate, symbolic and emotional atmosphere. The choice of Tonnara di Scopello was rooted in a personal memory: during a private sailing trip through the Mediterranean, Roxette had photographed Joe floating in the water in front of the historic tuna fishery, without knowing that this same place would later become the setting for their vows. From that moment, Sicily became more than a backdrop; it became an essential part of the story. The wedding aesthetic unfolded through an ethereal, sea-inspired vision, expressed in two custom Di Petsa bridal looks: a white gown for the ceremony and a black look for the after party, both defined by liquid draping, sheer textures, pearls and sculptural details. Joe wore a double-breasted Off-White tuxedo, balancing classic elegance with a contemporary edge. Every element of the celebration contributed to a cohesive and immersive visual world: floral arrangements inspired by the marine landscape, handmade shell and pearl details, a ceremony accompanied by harp and violin, a seaside reception with Sicilian cuisine and a party that continued until sunrise inside a cave carved into the rock. The wedding film created by Studio d’Essai follows this vision with an elegant, editorial and cinematic approach, moving between fashion details, seascapes, spontaneous moments and emotional sequences. As destination wedding videographers specializing in luxury international weddings, we documented Roxette and Joe’s celebration through a visual language that blends documentary storytelling, fashion sensitivity and cinematic atmosphere. The result is a wedding film that goes beyond documenting the day: it preserves the soul of the event, the power of the sea, the mermaidcore aesthetic, the personality of the couple and the magic of a Tonnara di Scopello wedding featured on Vogue.fr.
