Rolling hills, warm stone, and sunsets to die for.
We have been lucky enough to call this work.

Tuscany does not need much help. The landscape does the heavy lifting — the cypress-lined roads, the terracotta rooftops, the light that settles over the hills in the early evening and turns everything amber. It is one of those places where the photographs almost make themselves, and our job is simply to stay out of the way and let it happen.

What draws couples here is the combination of beauty and history. The venues in this part of Italy — often historic villas and estates within reach of Florence — come with centuries of character built in. There are frescoed hallways, central courtyards, terraces with views that stretch for miles. The food and wine are delicious. What more could you want?

We recently shot at Villa Medicea di Lilliano, a historic estate just outside Florence, and it remains one of the most beautiful venues we have worked at anywhere in Europe. The road leading up to the villa, the courtyard with its ancient trees, the arched hallway with its painted frescoes, the reception space — every part of it gives you something different to work with photographically, and you can just about make out Florence in the distance from the grounds. The light here in August is extraordinary: warm, directional, and generous well into the evening.

Tuscany suits couples who want a celebration with real substance to it. A place steeped in culture... in addition to the beautiful backdrop.
