When Carly and Chris chose the breathtaking Villa Mangiacane for their luxury destination wedding in Tuscany, I knew this celebration would be extraordinary. Nestled in the heart of the Chianti countryside, this iconic Tuscan villa offered a setting where elegance and romance naturally unfolded.

From golden-hour portraits bathed in the warm Tuscan sunset to the grand interiors of the villa, every scene was a masterpiece. Deciding where to capture their story? Nearly impossible—every corner of Villa Mangiacane is a photographer’s dream.


But this wedding wasn’t just about stunning backdrops. Carly and Chris curated a three-day celebration that felt intimate yet grand, filled with joy, beauty, and deeply meaningful moments. It was never about excess—just pure, effortless elegance, shared with their closest loved ones.


Capturing their love story against the rolling Florentine hills was an honor. If you’re dreaming of a timeless wedding in Tuscany, Villa Mangiacane might just be your perfect setting.

PIZZA, BBQ & GOLDEN HOUR MAGIC 


WELCOME PARTY AT VILLA MANGIACANE, TUSCANY


The welcome party at Villa Mangiacane was the perfect prelude to an unforgettable three-day wedding celebration in Tuscany. Set in the villa’s lush gardens, bathed in the golden hues of a Florentine sunset, it was the kind of evening that instantly set the tone—effortlessly chic, warm, and brimming with understated elegance.


As the sun dipped behind the rolling Tuscan hills, the atmosphere transformed. Wood-fired pizza and gourmet BBQ stations filled the air with irresistible aromas, while guests sipped cocktails by the pool, taking in the view. Above them, twinkling string lights cast a dreamy glow—like a sky full of stars that had RSVP’d to the party.


And then came the music. A live folk band turned the night into something magical, their melodies weaving through laughter and toasts. Guests swayed, danced, and soaked in the kind of joy that only comes from being truly present in the moment.


Capturing this evening—the clinking glasses, the spontaneous twirls on the dance floor, the unfiltered happiness—was an absolute privilege. Because this wasn’t just a party; it was the start of something unforgettable.

A TIMELESS WEDDING AT VILLA MANGIACANE



After the excitement of the pre-wedding celebrations, the anticipation for the big day was palpable. The bride got ready in the heart of Villa Mangiacane, surrounded by her closest friends, with laughter echoing through the villa’s historic halls. Her mother, a quiet pillar of love and grace, fastened the final buttons of her gown and carefully placed the veil—intimate, fleeting moments that define true storytelling.


The ceremony unfolded in the villa’s garden, bathed in golden Tuscan sunlight, with the rolling Chianti hills as a breathtaking backdrop. As the couple exchanged vows, their emotions were raw, heartfelt, and deeply moving. It wasn’t just beautiful—it was a moment suspended in time.


Afterwards, guests gathered in the fountain garden for an effortlessly elegant cocktail hour, savoring Italy’s finest wines as the evening breeze carried laughter and conversation. But dinner in the villa’s courtyard? Pure magic. Long tables adorned with flickering candlelight, a sky turning soft shades of pink and gold, and speeches that brought both laughter and tears—it was the essence of a luxury wedding in Tuscany.


And then, the first dance. A moment of pure connection, set against the enchanting backdrop of the villa. But the real celebration was just beginning—as soon as the band struck the first note, the dance floor came alive. The energy was infectious, the joy undeniable. Later, the bride made a stunning second entrance in a chic evening look, leading the way to the villa’s cellars for an unforgettable late-night party in true Italian style.


Capturing every fleeting glance, every embrace, every uninhibited moment of joy was an absolute privilege. Because weddings like this? They aren’t just events—they’re stories meant to be relived forever.
