Florence , one of the best places for your wedding in Italy
I want to share a recent experience I had as a photographer in Florence, Italy, where I was the lucky one to document the wedding of a Mexican couple, Areli and Fernando. They contacted me through Instagram, having reviewed my portfolio , wanting some photos that felt like a movie and attracted by my style of photography. After several conversations, we were able to coordinate dates and plan the necessary details to capture their wedding in iconic locations like : the Ponte Vecchio and a cathedral in Florence where their ceremony was, followed by a reception in Tuscany at a beautiful estate.
From the first contact, communication with Areli and Fernando was clear and results-oriented. We discussed their expectations, editing preferences, photography style and event schedule, which allowed for detailed planning. Florence, with its architectural richness and history, offered a spectacular backdrop, but also presented logistical challenges that needed to be considered, such as managing natural light at different times of the day and the influx of tourists in key areas.
After the ceremony in the cathedral of Florence, we moved to Tuscany for the reception, where Italian elegance and romanticism were evident in every detail. The event took place in a historic villa surrounded by vineyards and rolling hills that looked like something out of a postcard. This idyllic setting, combined with impeccable attention to detail, created an unforgettable atmosphere for the bride and groom and their guests.
The reception was a display of sophistication and charm. From the very first moment, the ambiance was imbued with a warm, soft light, provided by a central fountain adorned with candles. These candles cast a soft glow that bathed the space in a golden glow, allowing every corner of the venue to be perceived clearly, but always in an intimate and cozy atmosphere.The banquet was a true tribute to Italian gastronomy. The best chefs of the region were in charge of preparing a menu that stood out for its authenticity and quality. Handmade pasta and pizza, cooked to perfection, was the star dish, accompanied by sauces that enhanced the traditional flavors of Tuscany. Each bite was a unique culinary experience, complemented by a selection of local wines that paired perfectly with each dish.
The table decoration was another expression of elegance. Centerpieces with fresh flowers from the region, combined with candles and soft overhead lights, accentuated the romantic ambiance without falling into exaggeration. Everything, from the arrangement of the silverware to the small details such as the cards with the names of the guests, who had the pleasure of having mine at one of the tables with their closest relatives, reflected a discreet but unquestionable refinement.
The event went smoothly, allowing guests to enjoy the food, the live music of the violinists and, above all, the company.
The reception at the Toscana was, without a doubt, a celebration of love, but also a display of Italian elegance and style at its best with the ambiance of Mexican love. It was an honor to be part of this special day, and a reminder of how every detail, no matter how small, can contribute to create a truly unforgettable experience.
Thank you Areli and Fernando for also making me part of this great event, I was able to be present of your love with your beautiful family. See you soon in Mexico like last time !
