All the beauty and magic of Tuscany for this romantic wedding at Villa Cetinale

In the middle of Tuscany’s rolling hills and vineyards, Amber and Jordan found the place of their hearts in the spectacular Villa Cetinale in Siena. With a party of thirty and the Tuscan sun blessing their day, their wedding was an absolute pleasure to photograph and participate in. Selene and Valeria snapped it together – two first photographers for a day of joy, laughter, colors, and happy tears. Enjoy!

We fell in love with this wedding, and we couldn’t wait to share it with you. Starting from the location – the one and only Villa Cetinale, that had been on our bucket list for a while!

Villa Cetinale, an architectural masterpiece nestled in the heart of the Italian countryside, was the perfect backdrop for this romantic and intimate celebration of love. This 17th-century villa has become one of the staples of old-world charm and Tuscan magnificence – a real masterpiece of arts and architecture. Designed by the renowned Italian architect Carlo Fontana, the villa showcases stunning Baroque-style architecture, featuring graceful arches, intricate frescoes, and opulent interiors that transport guests to a timeless time of elegance and luxury – all set in the luscious rolling hills of the Tuscan countryside.

The wedding week began with Amber and Jordan warmly welcoming their closest friends and family to Siena, in the heart of Tuscany. They stayed at the villa for the full week, making it the perfect base for their exploration of the region! Together, they traveled around the picturesque Tuscan landscapes, indulging in the region’s rich culture, culinary delights, and, of course, its world-famous wines. The joyous atmosphere of the week set the stage for the grand finale – their wedding day.

Jordan got ready with his boys – a fun and loud get-together that had everyone hyped up for the big celebration! Amber, in the meantime, was doing her own hair and makeup – she looked simply gorgeous – together with her sister, niece, mom, and soon-to-be mother-in-law.
The Netta BenShabu dress she chose was perfect for her: her long braided her, natural makeup, and flowy dress gave her a delicate, elvish bridal look that we adored. The first look she shared with her dad, moments before walking down the aisle, still gives us goosebumps when looking at the pictures!

As the afternoon rolled down, Amber and Jordan exchanged vows in an intimate ceremony held in the iconic cypress garden of Villa Cetinale. Towering cypress trees and the two adorned gates framed the scene, creating a natural aisle that led to the altar adorned with a vibrant semi-arch. The bright and colorful flower decor perfectly mirrored the couple’s happiness, making the garden come alive with an explosion of colors, evoking the essence of romance and joy.

Following the heartfelt exchange of vows, the celebration continued with an aperitif followed by an al fresco dinner under the warm Tuscan sunset. The tables adorned with the same bright-colored flower decorations and soft candlelight created an ambiance of intimacy and togetherness. As guests savored the delectable Tuscan cuisine and the finest local wines and shot photos of each other with vintage kodak cameras, laughter and love filled the air, creating memories that would be cherished for a lifetime.

As the night wore on, the celebration continued into a night party. The villa’s courtyard became alive with music and dancing under the stars. The joyous celebrations seamlessly blended with the artistic spirit of the villa, creating a magical atmosphere that felt like a scene out of a fairy tale.

Amber and Jordan’s wedding at Villa Cetinale was a celebration of love, life, and true beauty. We were absolutely delighted to capture such a wonderful wedding!
