In the collective imagination, Italy is one of the most romantic countries in the world. With its astounding landscapes, fascinating history and delicious food, that’s not surprising after all!
If you are one of the many people who love the Italian atmosphere – and if you’d adore to have it as a frame for your marriage, then a wedding in Tuscany could be perfect for you.
Have a look at Cecily and Matt’s story and let their photos enchant you…
Cecily and Matt’s destination wedding in Tuscany
Cecily, Matt and their sweet baby daughter were dreaming of a wedding in Tuscany – and they had the chance to make their wishes come true! They came all the way from Dallas to Chianti: an impressive change of scenery, isn’t it?
I had the pleasure to stay with them since the preparation of the beautiful bride and elegant groom, enjoying the presence of the lovely little mascot.
The ceremony took place at the Propositura of San Casciano, a solemn church, excellent to host a heartfelt marriage ritual. The location the couple chose for the reception was Villa Mangiacane, a real gem in Chianti.
We benefited from the picturesque vineyard surrounding the Villa, shooting dreamy couple photographs there, and we also took many group photos – the courtyard of the venue is ideal for them, and they make an unforgettable memory for your wedding in Tuscany.
The chic dinner table, delightfully decorated and overlooking the olive groves, was the setting of the party. The peak of the evening was surely the fountain of sparkling wine poured over a pyramid of stem glasses: a glamorous ending for a sumptuous wedding in Tuscany!
Villa Mangiacane, your perfect location
If you’re looking for a classic and timeless wedding, just like Cecily and Matt’s, Villa Mangiacane is the venue you should choose.
Nestled in the heart of Chianti, this 15th century property was built by the Machiavelli family and documents say that Michelangelo in person contributed with its touch.
You will fall in love with the luxury suites, the ancient and modern art displayed all around the location and the breathtaking countryside that surrounds the property.
Your wedding in Tuscany couldn’t be more unique than this – you just have to crown it with emotional photos!
