Hannah and Timothy
A Dream Ombroneta Wedding in Tuscany
A Magical Ombroneta Wedding in Tuscany
As a destination photographer I’ve witnessed countless love stories unfold against rolling hills and centuries-old olive trees, but Hannah and Timothy’s destination wedding was something special. Their destination wedding at the Ombroneta perfectly embodied what makes a destination wedding in Italy so magical: the effortless blend of natural beauty, Italian hospitality, and thoughtful design.
The weekend began with an Aperol-soaked pizza party. Fiery florals, ripe tomatoes, a vintage gelato cart, and a tiled pizza oven straight from Tuscany’s heart. On the wedding day, Hannah stunned in a classic tulle gown with a cathedral-length veil that caught the Tuscan breeze.
The dinner that followed was the day’s true centerpiece. From above, the seating revealed a U-shape centered around a centuries-old olive tree. The design balanced modern elegance with romantic flair, letting the surrounding Tuscan landscape shine.
What set this destination wedding apart was the couple’s exceptional hospitality. Each guest received a personal photograph paired with a handwritten note, chronicling memories they had shared. In an era of mass-produced celebrations, this couple invested time and care into making each person feel truly seen.

Long wooden farm tables were arranged under fairy lights on the manicured lawn, dressed with fresh flowers in vibrant oranges, reds, and whites alongside bountiful displays of ripe tomatoes and other Italian fare.

Every detail felt intentional yet relaxed, from the woven chargers at each place setting to the bow-tied napkins. It was the ideal way to welcome loved ones to a wedding weekend in one of the world's most romantic settings.
