Borgo Stomennano wedding photographer in Tuscany
Brendan & Ginamarie
The Siena countryside is home to some of the most incredible wedding venues in Tuscany, and Borgo Stomennano is truly one of our favourites. Surrounded by timeless landscapes, the venue enjoys a breathtaking view over Monteriggioni, one of the most iconic medieval villages in the region.
What makes Borgo Stomennano so special is its unique atmosphere — the perfect balance between elegance and country chic. Every corner of the estate feels authentic, refined, and deeply connected to the beauty of Tuscany.
We love everything about this place: the beautifully decorated rooms filled with charm and character, the iconic cypress-lined road that creates the dreamiest setting for portraits, and the stunning courtyard where dinner tables are set for unforgettable evenings under the Tuscan sky.
There is a relaxed sophistication at Borgo Stomennano that makes every wedding feel intimate, stylish, and effortlessly beautiful.
The whole day unfolded with the kind of ease you can’t plan but always hope for. Laughter from the bridal suite, clinking glasses during the aperitivo, soft music drifting across the courtyard, long tables glowing under string lights. Photographing it felt less like documenting an event and more like spending a beautiful day with friends who happened to be getting married in one of the most charming places in Tuscany.
The real wedding of Brendan and Ginamarie
Some weddings stay with you long after you pack your cameras, and Brandon and Ginamarie’s Borgo di Stomennano wedding is definitely one of them.
We first met them in New York about a year before the big day. We travel there every couple of years, and that time the city gave us one of those perfect late-afternoon moments — the kind where the light hits the buildings just right and everything feels possible. Under the Williamsburg Bridge, with the rumble of the subway overhead and the East River behind us, we shot their engagement photos. It was easy: they were relaxed, laughing, completely themselves.
Meeting couples in person before the wedding is something we treasure. It builds a real connection — the kind you can’t quite create in a Zoom window. So when we arrived at Borgo Stomennano wedding venue, we didn’t feel like vendors showing up to work. Brandon and Ginamarie welcomed us like old friends who had simply picked up where we left off in Brooklyn.
And then Tuscany did what Tuscany does best. September sunlight warmed the stone walls, the cypress trees stood tall and still, and the whole borgo felt suspended in time. The weather couldn’t have been better — warm enough for an outdoor dinner, cool enough to enjoy every second of it.
Borgo di Stomennano wedding venue has a magic that’s hard to explain until you’re standing there. The architecture carries centuries of stories, and every corner has a personality of its own. As a Tuscany wedding photographer, it’s the kind of place that makes you want to shoot non-stop — from the elegant indoor rooms to the gardens, to the tiny hidden corners that surprise you at every turn. Honestly, even the bathroom could be a stunning backdrop. That’s how special this place is.
