Wedding Photographer & Videographer in Tuscany, Italy
There is a particular quality to the light in Tuscany in the late afternoon — the way it falls across the cypress trees and the stone walls of the villas, warm and directional, turning the landscape into something that looks almost painted. It is one of the most recognisable lights in the world for a reason. And for photography and film, it is extraordinary.
We have documented weddings across Tuscany — from intimate farmstead celebrations in the Chianti hills to grand palazzo events in Florence — and the experience of working here never becomes ordinary. The landscape is too varied, the venues too distinct, the light too alive.
Why Couples Choose Tuscany for Their Wedding
Tuscany is one of the most enduring destination wedding locations in Europe — and it has earned that reputation. The combination of extraordinary landscapes, centuries of architectural history, world-class food and wine, and a culture that understands and celebrates the art of the gathering makes it a destination that consistently delivers on every promise.
For destination wedding couples, the variety is genuinely remarkable. A hilltop ceremony at a 17th-century farmstead surrounded by vineyards. A Renaissance palazzo dinner on the banks of the Arno. An intimate elopement in the Val d’Orcia, with nothing but rolling hills and cypress trees as far as the eye can see. Tuscany accommodates every scale and every vision — and every corner of it photographs beautifully.
Florence and Pisa airports both connect the region to major European cities, and the road network makes even the most remote Chianti farmstead accessible for international guests.
Wedding Photography & Videography in Tuscany
Tuscany rewards a patient, cinematic approach to photography and film. The landscape provides a natural backdrop of extraordinary beauty, but it is the details — the texture of old stone, the shadows in the late afternoon, the way candlelight moves across the faces of guests at a long outdoor dinner — that make Tuscan wedding photography truly distinctive.
We work across the full breadth of the region, from the rolling hills of Chianti and the Val d’Orcia, to the Renaissance grandeur of Florence and the quieter, more rural character of the Maremma coast. Each venue and each location brings its own visual rhythm, and we arrive fully prepared to work with all of it.
Some of the venues we have worked at in Tuscany include:
Lupaia — A charming farmstead dating back to the 1600s, perched on a hilltop in the heart of Chianti. Surrounded by agricultural lands, vineyards, and olive groves, Lupaia offers an atmosphere of authentic Tuscan intimacy that is almost impossible to replicate. One of our favourite venues in Italy to photograph and film.
Palazzo Corsini, Florence — One of the great Renaissance palaces of Florence, set beside the Arno River and steeped in centuries of history. An extraordinary venue for couples seeking the grandeur and elegance of Florentine heritage at the heart of their celebration.
Villa di Maiano, Florence — Dating back to the 1400s, this historic villa sits just beyond the city limits with panoramic views over Florence. A beautiful combination of historic architecture, Tuscan landscape, and the energy of the city just below.

Our work has been featured in British Vogue, and we have documented destination weddings for couples from across the world at some of Europe’s most extraordinary venues.
Planning a Destination Wedding in Tuscany
A destination wedding in Tuscany invites a certain pace. Guests arrive early, settle into the rhythms of the countryside, and the celebration stretches naturally across multiple days — a welcome dinner at a local restaurant, the wedding itself, and a leisurely farewell lunch the following afternoon. It is a format that suits the Tuscan landscape perfectly, and one that creates extraordinary conditions for photography and film throughout.
For couples planning a full wedding weekend, Tuscany offers an embarrassment of options — wine tastings in the Chianti cellars, truffle hunts in the forests of the Crete Senesi, day trips to Siena or San Gimignano. The region is rich enough to sustain a full week of exploration, and generous enough to make every guest feel as though they have discovered something personal.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Do you travel to Tuscany for weddings?
Yes — we are a destination wedding photography and videography duo based in Europe and available for weddings across Tuscany, including venues in Chianti, the Val d’Orcia, Florence, Siena, and the surrounding region.
Q: Do you cover both photography and videography?
Yes — we are a dedicated photography and videography duo. Your wedding is covered with a single, consistent visual style across both formats, with no need to coordinate between separate teams. Many couples tell us this is one of the main reasons they chose to work with us.
Q: Which venues in Tuscany do you have experience with?
We have worked at Lupaia in Chianti, Palazzo Corsini in Florence, and Villa di Maiano, among others. We are also fully equipped to work at venues we have not visited before — we always research and prepare thoroughly for every location.
Q: What is the best time of year for a wedding in Tuscany?
Late spring and early autumn are ideal — May, June, September, and October offer beautiful temperatures, extraordinary light, and a more intimate atmosphere than the peak summer months. The golden hour light over the Chianti hills in September is particularly remarkable for photography and film.
Q: Is Tuscany accessible for international guests?
Yes — Florence and Pisa airports both connect the region directly to most major European cities, and many guests also arrive via Rome. The Tuscan countryside is well connected by road, making even the most remote venues easily accessible for international guests.
Q: How far in advance should we reach out?
We recommend getting in touch at least 12 to 18 months in advance, especially for peak season dates in May, June, and September. Tuscany is one of the most sought-after destination wedding locations in Europe and availability fills quickly. That said, please reach out even if your date is sooner.
