Tuscany destinations
In Tuscany, no one really looks at a clock. Time here is measured differently — in sunsets, in the length of the shadows, in how long it takes to finish a good bottle of wine. My photography follows this same rhythm. We won’t be rushing through a checklist. We’ll simply let the day breathe, creating a story that feels as warm, unhurried, and full of life as Tuscany itself.
Villa Grabau wedding, (Lucca)
At Villa Grabau I photographed a truly special wedding, a celebration that brought together a beautiful mix of cultures. The ceremony unfolded in the intimacy of the garden, a setting that felt both secluded and timeless, while dinner was held in the romantic lemon house, filled with warm light and atmosphere. Villa Grabau’s charm lies in how effortlessly it combines elegance and authenticity, and through my photography, I wanted to capture exactly that: the unique spirit of this couple within such a graceful Tuscan setting.
Gargonza Castle, Monte San Savino, (Arezzo)
At Castello di Gargonza I photographed a wedding unlike any other, a celebration where two worlds met: the warmth of Brazil and the charm of Finland, sun and snow blending into one story. The ceremony took place in the castle’s garden, surrounded by medieval stone walls, and later we wandered through the borgo’s alleys for portraits steeped in history. When evening came, the celebration turned into a vibrant Brazilian-inspired party, filled with music, laughter, and dances that lit up the entire castle. A truly unforgettable mix of cultures in one of Tuscany’s most evocative settings.
Villa Bellaria, Campagnatico (Grosseto)
Villa Bellaria in Campagnatico is a historic estate celebrated for its stunning Italian-style gardens, where symmetry, cypress-lined paths, and perfectly trimmed hedges create a timeless and elegant atmosphere. The villa itself exudes history and charm, offering a graceful backdrop for any celebration. For one wedding I photographed here, the couple added a playful touch by riding away on a vintage white Vespa through the streets of Campagnatico
Palazzo Pfanner, Lucca
Palazzo Pfanner in Lucca is a remarkable historic palace, famous for its elegant baroque gardens and the timeless charm of its interiors. I’ve had the privilege of photographing several weddings here, often arriving with couples through the ancient city walls, stepping from the heart of Lucca directly into the villa’s serene gardens. Each wedding brings its own story, from intimate moments among the fountains and flowerbeds to lively celebrations in the historic halls. For me, capturing the contrast between the city’s medieval streets and the refined elegance of Palazzo Pfanner is always a special part of the day.
Real Collegio, Lucca
At the Real Collegio in Lucca I photographed a wedding that beautifully combined history and intimacy. The ceremony took place in the cloister, its arches and columns creating a serene, elegant frame for the couple’s vows. Later, the reception moved inside the historic college, where the centuries-old architecture added character and a sense of timelessness to every moment. Through my photography, I focused on capturing both the quiet intimacy of the cloister and the warm, lively atmosphere of the celebrations inside, preserving the unique spirit of the day.
