Villa Fontanelle wedding photographer in florence
timeless wedding photography in Tuscany
Villa Le Fontanelle is without a doubt one of the leading wedding venues in Florence, and a place we always love returning to. Set on the hills overlooking the city, the villa offers breathtaking views of Florence, including the iconic cathedral dome that makes every moment feel uniquely Italian and timeless.
One of the things we love most about photographing weddings here is the atmosphere inside the villa itself. The interiors are elegant, refined, and filled with natural light, creating the perfect setting for the bridal preparations where every bride looks effortlessly beautiful.
The dining experience at Villa Le Fontanelle is another unforgettable part of the celebration. The restaurant within the venue offers an exceptional level of cuisine, turning the wedding dinner into a true Italian experience for guests coming from all over the world.
The couples who choose Villa Le Fontanelle are often drawn to art, beauty, and authentic Italian charm. Weddings here always feel elegant and classy, yet never forced — just a perfect balance of sophistication, romance, and the relaxed atmosphere that makes Italy so special.

kind words
“Maurizio and Serena were absolutely incredible! They captured our engagement photos and our wedding day, and we cannot recommend them enough. When we got our pictures back from our engagement shoot, we could not believe how beautiful the pictures were. Maurizio and Serena made us feel like models and movie stars with the prompts, posing, and stunning compositions. On the wedding day, they were so easy to work with and willing to accommodate anything - even taking family photos in the middle of the dancing part of the evening! They had creative ideas for beautiful compositions and poses, and lots of fun pictures like being spun around in the air. They knew how to pivot and still take gorgeous photos despite the changing weather. We had full confidence in them! They are also super quick with the turnaround of photos. We had our engagement pictures back within 24 hours, and our full wedding album was ready within 2 weeks.
We also added on black and white film photography using Maurizio’s film camera, so we are really excited to receive those physical prints. On top of being talented wedding photographers, they are also landscape photographers, so they know how to capture not just people but also beautiful settings, which really elevated all the pictures and captured the energy and mood of the day. Maurizio and Serena went above and beyond to make sure our day was captured beautifully, and we are so grateful to have these stunning pictures to cherish forever!”
