Wedding at Tenuta San Lorenzo Vecchio
Some weddings tell a love story. Others tell the story of a journey as well.
Arthur and Blanchy travelled all the way from Florida to celebrate their Wedding at Tenuta San Lorenzo Vecchio, a beautiful wedding venue nestled in the Umbrian countryside near Foligno. Surrounded by the people they love most, they chose Italy as the place where one of the most important days of their lives would begin.
For couples dreaming of a destination wedding in Italy, Tenuta San Lorenzo Vecchio offers the perfect combination of elegance, nature and authenticity. But what made this day truly unforgettable wasn’t just the venue — it was the way Arthur and Blanchy embraced every moment with complete spontaneity.
Wedding at Tenuta San Lorenzo Vecchio: a day lived at its own pace
Getting ready at the venue
The day began quietly, with both Arthur and Blanchy getting ready in different areas of the estate, surrounded by their closest family and friends.
I love photographing this part of the day because it’s where emotions slowly begin to surface. The final details, the anticipation, the hugs and the quiet smiles all become part of the story long before the ceremony begins.
A church ceremony followed by private vows
Their first “I do” took place during a beautiful religious ceremony, shared with family and friends who had travelled from the United States to celebrate with them.
Later that day, once they returned to the venue, Arthur and Blanchy chose to create another unforgettable moment just for themselves.
In a panoramic corner of Tenuta San Lorenzo Vecchio, away from the guests, they exchanged personal vows in complete privacy.
There was no audience, no music and no distractions. Just the two of them, their words and the breathtaking Umbrian landscape surrounding them.
Moments like these remind me why I love documentary wedding photography. They can’t be staged or repeated — they simply happen.
Couple portraits surrounded by the Umbrian countryside
After their private vows, we took a relaxed walk through the grounds of the estate.
Rather than creating elaborate poses, I simply gave them the space to enjoy being together. The golden afternoon light, the peaceful surroundings and their natural connection did the rest.
The most meaningful photographs are often the simplest ones.
An outdoor dinner under the Italian sky
The reception continued with a beautiful outdoor dinner, where guests enjoyed the atmosphere of a true Italian summer evening.
Long tables, warm lights, heartfelt speeches and genuine laughter created the perfect setting for everyone to slow down and enjoy the celebration together.
For many of their guests, it wasn’t just a wedding — it was a once-in-a-lifetime experience in Italy.
Dancing late into the night
After the cake cutting, the atmosphere changed once again.
The dance floor quickly filled with friends and family who celebrated together until late in the evening. It was joyful, relaxed and full of energy — exactly the kind of ending that every wedding deserves.
These are the moments when people forget about the camera, and that’s when the most genuine photographs are created.
