Ah, the sun finally graced us with its presence after a couple of cooler days, adding warmth to the atmosphere at Castello di Velona for this wedding. The bride and groom, alongside their families, prepped together in the suites, setting the scene for a heartwarming day.
The ceremony itself unfolded at Sant’Antimo Abbey, a quick five-minute drive from the castle. Guests were in for a treat as the bride made her grand entrance aboard a vintage Spiaggina, chauffeured by her dad.
The Catholic ceremony was truly touching, and I had the pleasure of capturing some beautiful moments of the couple amidst the picturesque fields of Val d’Orcia and against the castle walls.
While all this was happening, guests were soaking in the good times during the cocktail hour on the castle terrace. And let me tell you about the sunset – it was absolutely glorious! The landscape became this stunning canvas, creating the perfect backdrop for some breathtaking wedding photographs.
As for the dinner reception, the property set up this round table that perfectly followed the lines of the castle, and it was a sight to behold! They adorned it with hanging chandeliers and flowers, setting a romantic atmosphere. As dusk settled in and candlelight took over, the bride and groom shared laughs and conversations, giving me the perfect moments to capture.
The cake and after-party unfolded in the pool area, and here’s where the groom pulled off an incredible surprise for the bride: fireworks! It was a burst of colors that lit up the night sky. And as the guests danced, I bid them farewell, happy to have captured such a beautiful celebration!
