A Villa Catignano wedding in Tuscany is everything you imagine when you think of an Italian destination wedding. Rolling hills, warm light, intimate moments and a setting that feels almost unreal.

From the very beginning, it felt like such an honor to capture their day. They are one of the most kind-hearted couples I’ve ever had the pleasure of photographing, and their wedding reflected that in every detail.

A Relaxed Start with a Pizza Party

The wedding weekend began with a relaxed pizza party on the evening before the wedding. The soft evening light and the smell of freshly baked Italian pizza created the perfect atmosphere.

Exploring Tuscany with a Vespa Tour

The next morning, Willem and Elyze surprised their guests with a Vespa tour through the Tuscan countryside, organized by Slow Hills.

Driving through the rolling hills, surrounded by cypress trees and endless views, created a sense of freedom and joy. It was the perfect way to start the wedding day and set the tone for everything that followed.

A Personal Touch in Every Detail

Elyze wore a stunning Pronovias gown, customized with delicate sleeves adorned with small roses. These roses were also reflected in her veil and carried a subtle reference to the groom’s surname, making the dress deeply personal.

What I loved most was how much care Elyze put into every detail. She designed the wedding invitations herself, ensuring that everything felt cohesive and true to their story. It’s these personal elements that elevate a Villa Catignano wedding into something truly unique.

A Romantic Garden Ceremony Among the Lemon Trees

The ceremony took place in the gardens of Villa Catignano, surrounded by lemon trees and overlooking the Tuscan landscape. It’s one of those locations that feels effortlessly romantic.

Watching them walk down the aisle, framed by greenery and soft sunlight, was such a beautiful moment. Surrounded by their loved ones, they exchanged vows in an intimate and emotional setting.

After the ceremony, guests gathered for a champagne tower celebration, perfectly styled and organized by wedding planner Mooi Toscane. Every detail felt intentional, yet relaxed.
