Introduction

Planning a destination wedding can feel overwhelming, but with the right team and a clear plan, it can be one of the most memorable experiences of your life.

Here’s my guide to making your Tuscany wedding as smooth and enjoyable as possible.

Step 1: Choose the Right Season for Photos

Tuscany’s golden light is most magical in spring (April–June) and autumn (September–October). These months also offer milder weather, making outdoor ceremonies and photo sessions comfortable and beautiful.

Step 2: Select a Photographer Who Knows Tuscany

Your photographer is one of the most important vendors for your wedding. Choose someone who understands Tuscany’s unique landscapes, lighting, and architecture. Having worked at iconic venues like Castello di Meleto, Torre a Cona, Castello di Celsa, Villa Le Fontanelle and many more… I know how to find the perfect angles to highlight both you and the beauty of your surroundings.

Step 3: Incorporate Local Traditions

Tuscany is rich in culture and tradition, which can make your wedding even more special. For example:

-Host a pre-wedding pizza night or wine tasting for your guests.

-Give your guests small gifts with Tuscan touch.

-Consider having a live band play Italian classics during your reception.

These touches not only enhance your guest experience but also make for unique and memorable photos.

Planning for your guests’ comfort is key. Create a welcome guide with travel tips, local attractions, and accommodations. Consider organizing group activities like a vineyard tour or a cooking class, which also make for candid and fun photo moments.

Step 5: Hire a Local Wedding Planner

Working with a wedding planner who knows Tuscany can save you time and reduce stress. They’ll help with permits, logistics, and finding trusted local vendors—including photographers like me!
