The celebration began with a colorful welcome dinner in the villa’s garden, where guests dined at two imperial tables beautifully decorated with vibrant flowers. The menu included Tuscan appetizers, handmade pasta, and a sizzling barbecue, setting a warm and convivial tone.
On the wedding day, Callie and Alex shared a romantic first look in the elegant loggia before exchanging their vows during an intimate outdoor ceremony in the villa’s garden. Following the heartfelt ceremony, guests enjoyed a scenic aperitivo in another part of the estate’s park.
The evening continued with a lavish wedding dinner in front of the villa’s grand facade. White floral arrangements, glowing candles, and ornate candelabras created an atmosphere of pure elegance. After a champagne tower and first dance, Callie and Alex cut a traditional Tuscan millefoglie cake against the backdrop of spectacular fireworks. The night ended with an unforgettable dance party behind the villa, as guests celebrated love and luxury late into the night.
Villa Mangiacane offers couples the perfect blend of Italian elegance, privacy, and luxury, making it an ideal setting for timeless destination weddings in Tuscany.

Welcome dinner
Wedding day
Leda + Peter - engagement
Leda and Peter got married in beautiful Vignamaggio estate, in the heart of Chianti, and both for their wedding and e-session they didn't want anything too fancy. They just wanted the focus to be completely on them and their love, and of course, on the beautiful background of vineyards, hills and amazing Tuscan light. Of course, we couldn't agree more!
So, right before their rehearsal dinner, we took a stroll around the venue, to catch the best sunset light, as well as the best smiles and kisses
How we like our engagement sessions to be? in a word, intimate. We love to spend some time with our clients and to better understand their special bond.
Anyway, if they also happen to take place in one of the most beautiful venues of all Italy, chances are yours truly will be literally head over heels.

It was the perfect way to spend the late afternoon before their wedding, to get to know them better, and to collect beautiful memories together.
Stay tuned for their wedding, coming up on the blog very soon!

Jocelyn + Basil - Elopement in Camogli
Imagine a quiet morning at dawn, in one of the most picturesque Italian seaside village. The silence, the warm sun, the fishermen coming back from work, and the cafés slowly opening up.
Jocelyn and Basil accepted to wake up super early to enjoy all of this with us: to have the whole village for ourselves has been a privilege, and made us feel something magic in the air.
From Singapore to Camogli, this is a love story we loved to tell.
