Siyu and Teng’s La Foce Wedding in Tuscany
Siyu and Teng, a well-traveled, Ivy League-educated couple from China and London welcomed fifty of their closest friends from England, China, and America to one of Italy’s most enchanting estates. Their wedding at La Foce Tuscany blended history, artistry, and timeless romance, creating an experience as unforgettable as the location itself. As their La Foce wedding photographer, it was an honor to capture the elegance of this extraordinary event.
A Wedding Ceremony in La Foce’s Renaissance Garden
Surrounded by the the remarakable blooms of Flowers Living, La Foce Italy wedding ceremonies don’t get more magical than this. The iconic Renaissance gardens were transformed into a Tuscan wonderland, with hundreds of delicate petals adorning the curved stone bench and fountain. Guests admired the breathtaking views of the rolling hills of Val d’Orcia, framed by Tuscany’s famous winding, cypress-lined roads. The special floral arrangements seamlessly connected the manicured beauty of the garden with the wild charm of the surrounding landscape—setting the stage for a truly romantic wedding ceremony.

The couple’s wedding cake created on the spot by the chef, adding to the wedding entertainment. The night continued with heartfelt toasts, and late-night wedding entertainment with live wedding music in the Limonaia.

Ceremony
La Foce, in Val d’Orcia, is a UNESCO World Heritage site and one of the most breathtaking venues I have ever photographed. Originally transformed into a thriving farming estate in 1924 by Antonio and Iris Origo, it carries a rich history that still resonates today. Iris Origo, an acclaimed Anglo-American biographer and historian, captured the essence of this estate in her books Images and Shadows and War in Val d’Orcia.
For those considering a wedding at La Foce, this historic estate offers an unparalleled blend of beauty, heritage, and romance. You can find more La Foce photos and information in this article.
