Anastasia Russo believes in happily ever afters. As a wedding photographer with an eye for capturing fleeting moments of magic, she thrives in the chaos of love stories unfolding. Vibrant, chatty, and full of sunshine, she sees the beauty in everything-even in the grumpy, brooding videographer who seems determined to keep the world at arm's length.
Theo De Luca doesn't believe in fairy tales. A perfectionist with a guarded heart, he prefers to stay behind the camera, capturing moments without becoming a part of them.

Thrown together at wedding after wedding, the two opposites clash, banter, and slowly build a connection neither of them can deny. But as Anastasia's career ambitions and Lorenzo's fear of vulnerability threaten to pull them apart, they must decide if love is worth risking everything for.
Full of slow-burn chemistry, heartfelt moments, and the messy beauty of love, Picture Perfect is a story about finding the courage to take a chance on the person who sees you for who you truly are-and capturing the magic of forever.
