A Dream Wedding in the Heart of Tuscany
A Tuscany Destination Wedding at Tenuta di Monaciano. When an American couple dreams of getting married in Italy, Tuscany often steals the spotlight, and for good reason. Carla and Devon chose the enchanting Tenuta di Monaciano, just outside Siena, as the stage for their celebration. The venue’s golden hills, olive groves, and timeless architecture created a fairytale backdrop for a deeply emotional weekend.
As a destination wedding photographer in Tuscany, I’ve witnessed many love stories unfold. But some stay with you a little longer. This one, captured in both digital and 35mm film, was the perfect harmony of elegance, intimacy, and authenticity.
Getting Married in Italy as an American Couple
Planning a wedding abroad can feel overwhelming, but Italy remains a favourite for American couples seeking a luxurious and immersive experience. From legal logistics to logistics coordination, a strong team of vendors can make all the difference.
Carla and Devon brought their closest friends and family to Tuscany for a full wedding weekend experience. The atmosphere was relaxed, filled with laughter, music, and that special kind of joy that only comes from being far from home, yet completely at peace.

Tenuta di Monaciano Wedding Venue
Nestled in the rolling hills of Tuscany, Tenuta di Monaciano offers panoramic views, romantic architecture, and a peaceful, secluded atmosphere. It’s one of those rare venues that feels both grand and intimate.
The ceremony took place in the garden under the Tuscan sun, followed by cocktails by the olive trees and a candlelit reception on the lawn. The beauty of the estate elevated every moment — from emotional speeches to the couple’s first dance under the stars.

Film Photography for Wedding Memories
What made this wedding even more unforgettable was the decision to include film photography alongside digital. With its creamy tones, soft focus, and nostalgic depth, film brings out something magical.

Wedding Planner Dama Wedding
This wedding wouldn’t have flowed so gracefully without the talented Dama Wedding, who designed every detail with care, from the floral arrangements by Le Petit Jardin Italy to the elegant rentals by JD Events and Allexis Events.
The day unfolded effortlessly thanks to her team’s precision and creativity, which allowed everyone to be fully present, including me, behind the camera, capturing both the big moments and the quiet, fleeting ones.
