A joyful Borgo di Petrognano same sex wedding in Tuscany
There is something deeply authentic about a destination wedding in Tuscany at the end of September. For Paige and Paige, that feeling came to life at Borgo di Petrognano, where they celebrated their intimate same sex destination wedding surrounded by rolling hills, olive trees and warm autumn light. Traveling from the United States, the two American brides chose this Tuscan countryside wedding venue for its relaxed atmosphere, timeless architecture and breathtaking views.
As a wedding photographer in Tuscany, documenting a celebration so rooted in intention and connection was truly meaningful.
An intimate same sex destination wedding in Tuscany
Paige and Paige envisioned a wedding that felt natural, personal and free from unnecessary formality. Their day was centered on shared moments, emotional presence and joyful celebration, surrounded by a small group of loved ones who traveled together to Tuscany.
The aesthetic reflected this vision perfectly: minimalist bridal looks, warm seasonal florals in shades of orange and peach, natural textures and a color palette that blended seamlessly with the surrounding landscape.

A meaningful and heartfelt ceremony
Walking toward each other, their expressions—smiles, emotion and quiet laughter—created one of the most touching moments of the day.
The outdoor ceremony took place among a natural archway of greenery, with guests seated close, creating an atmosphere that felt warm and deeply connected. The exchange of rings was filled with emotion, followed by a joyful first kiss framed by soft September light.

Portraits and a beautifully styled sunset dinner
After the ceremony, we explored Borgo di Petrognano and its gardens for couple portraits, capturing their connection against panoramic Tuscan views and rustic stone architecture.
As sunset approached, the focus shifted to the reception space. Long wooden tables were set on the terrace overlooking the hills, styled with linen runners, amber glass vases, candles and abundant floral arrangements. String lights overhead added a magical glow as daylight faded.
A personalized table for the brides, marked “The Paiges,” overlooked the landscape, creating a stunning focal point for the evening.
