Tuscany Wedding Photographer

Photographing Weddings Across Tuscany

I’ve been photographing weddings in Tuscany for 15 years, documenting more than 500 celebrations across the region — from intimate elopements at San Galgano Abbey to multi-day estate weddings in the Chianti hills. This isn’t a region I visit for work; it’s the region I call home, and that familiarity shows in the images: I know which courtyards catch the best afternoon light, which roads to take to avoid the tour-bus crowds, and which venues actually deliver on their photos.

My approach blends documentary storytelling with an editorial eye — candid, unposed moments alongside intentional, beautifully composed portraits. I shoot both digital and 35mm film, and many couples choose me specifically for the film work: the grain, the color rendering, the way it holds emotion differently than a digital frame ever could.

Where I Shoot in Tuscany

Siena and the Val d’Orcia — My home base, and still my favorite region to photograph in. Rolling cypress-lined hills, honey-colored stone farmhouses, and the kind of golden-hour light that photographers chase for years. Agriturismo Il Rigo and the countryside around Pienza are recurring favorites.

San Galgano Abbey — A roofless 13th-century abbey open to the sky, one of the most striking backdrops in all of Tuscany. I’ve photographed dozens of ceremonies and elopements here — it rarely looks the same twice depending on the light.

Chianti — Vineyard estates, olive groves, and some of the region’s most photogenic wedding venues, from Borgo San Luigi to Tenuta di Papena.

Florence — For couples wanting a city backdrop: the Arno, the historic center, and golden views from San Miniato al Monte at sunset.

Lucca and the Val di Chiana — Quieter, less touristic corners of Tuscany that consistently surprise couples with how much character they hold.

What Working With Me Looks Like

Most couples I work with are planning a destination wedding or elopement from abroad, often without ever having seen the venue in person before the day itself. My role goes beyond photography — I regularly advise on timing (I always push for a first-look or ceremony scheduled around the light, not just the clock), realistic shot-list expectations, and which of my trusted local vendors — planners, florists, hair and makeup artists — would be the right fit for the style you’re going for.

Coverage typically includes full-day documentary photography, with the option to add a second shooter, film alongside digital, or a cinematic wedding film produced by my collaborators.

Frequently Asked Questions

How far in advance should I book a Tuscany wedding photographer? Popular dates (May–June and September–October especially) are often booked 9–12 months in advance. If you have a specific date or venue in mind, earlier is better.

Do you travel to venues outside Siena? Yes — I regularly photograph weddings across all of Tuscany, as well as Umbria, Lake Como, Puglia, and Sicily.

Do you shoot both film and digital? Yes. Most couples receive a full digital gallery, with film available as an add-on for couples who want that specific analog look for part of the day.

Can you recommend venues or vendors in Tuscany? Absolutely — after 15 years and 500+ weddings here, I have direct experience with most of the region’s top venues and a trusted network of planners, florists, and other vendors I regularly recommend.
