intimate wedding in Chianti
We loved photographing Courtney and Holly’s intimate wedding in Tuscany. As same-sex wedding photographers, what stayed with us most was the way we experienced their day through their endless laughter, effortless connection, and that rare kind of complicity that makes everything around two people seem to disappear.
At a time when weddings can sometimes feel like performances — something to stage, perfect, and display — their celebration felt beautifully different. Watching Courtney and Holly together, we had the feeling that these two lovebirds were simply enough for one another. Everything else was secondary.
That is what made photographing their wedding so special. Nothing needed to be created for the camera. Every photograph came from something real: a glance, a laugh, a touch, a quiet moment of intimacy. The kind of authenticity we are always looking for when photographing Tuscany weddings.
The setting was Castello La Leccia, a place we know well and always love returning to. As a Castello La Leccia wedding photographer, we have had the pleasure of working here several times, and there is something about the atmosphere that feels particularly suited to intimate celebrations. The timeless architecture, the Tuscan landscape and the understated beauty of the property create a wonderful balance of elegance, intimacy and warmth.
Courtney and Holly’s wedding was a beautiful reminder of what we love about being same-sex wedding photographers in Tuscany: photographing a connection exactly as it is, without forcing it into a formula. Two people deeply in love, surrounded by beauty, completely present with one another.
kind words from our couple
“Working with Maurizio & Serena was an absolute dream for our Tuscany wedding! They took the time to do a video call with us before we booked to make sure we were a good fit and then from their body of work we knew it was the style we were looking for. Both do an incredible job of making you feel comfortable, if anyone is a bit camera shy, they jump in and show you exactly what to do for the perfect shot. And to say we were in love with our welcome party and wedding photos would be an understatement. There are so many incredible photos it’s overwhelming in the best way! They not only captured my wife and my love they captured our guests so beautifully. Highly recommend this duo!! It was the absolute best experience and now we have photos I will cherish for a lifetime!!”

FAQ
-
We photograph several same-sex weddings and elopements every year, and they are genuinely some of the celebrations we love being part of.
Whether it’s an intimate elopement in Tuscany, a stylish celebration on Lake Como, a sun-soaked wedding in Puglia, or somewhere else in Italy or Europe, we’re always excited to tell these stories.
What we love most is the authenticity, the energy, and the freedom to make the day completely your own. And, of course, we love the aesthetics too — the style, the details, the personalities, and all those little choices that make a wedding feel unmistakably yours.
For us, it’s never about fitting into a traditional idea of what a wedding should look like. It’s about photographing two people, their connection, and a celebration that truly represents who they are.
