Location, location, location! When photographing a destination wedding, we will always spend time scouting the area in search of unique locations that provide a true sense of place. These dramatic ruins of a medieval church was an hour away from the couple's ceremony site so we did a bride+groom portrait session two days after their wedding. The pillars, arches, and overall grandeur made this an inspiring location. It was also meaningful to the couple; having a spirit of adventure while traveling to new places was a theme to their wedding. It was the groom's first trip to Europe and the couple set up exploration tours of the area for their 50 guests - all of which we photographed. After four days of travel with them, we felt like family!
To read more about this incredible Florence destination wedding, please see Robin & Gary's feature wedding story on the Style Me Pretty wedding blog.
In it, Robin describes a few of her favorite Villa La Vedetta wedding memories:
"Some of my favorite memories from our destination wedding were the anticipation of getting ready and spending time with my maid of honor; taking photos on the streets of Florence, exploring the countryside of Tuscany in a vintage convertible, and our post-wedding portrait session with our photographers at the Abbey of San Galgano. It was a great adventure!"
As wedding photographers, nothing makes us happier than to hear that several of Robin's favorite wedding moments are from her photo sessions with us!
