Castello di Celsa Wedding, a fairytale celebration

Who hasn’t fantasized about getting married with a castle wedding, at least once in their life? Castello di Celsa, located among the rolling hills of Tuscany, is a dream venue for the most romantic of weddings. With its grand architecture, exquisite gardens and breathtaking views over the countryside of Siena, it provided the perfect setting for Lacey and Andrew’s unforgettable wedding day. As their photographer, I had the pleasure of capturing this young couple’s special day so that they will have the chance to cherish it forever.

Lacey and Andrew’s intimate event in a majestic setting

Coming from the United States, Lacey and Andrew envisioned a wedding that felt sumptuous yet intimate, surrounded by 50 loved ones who were coming all together for the first time. They wanted the celebration to feel effortless, with photography focused on authentic moments rather than overly posed shots.

The young and bubbly couple prepared for the day in the castle’s beautifully appointed rooms, soaking in the quiet anticipation of the moment. The ceremony took place in the castle’s picturesque garden, where guests were seated among curated greenery with the imposing medieval walls as a backdrop. The sight of Andrew waiting at the foot of the monumental staircase and Lacey walking down the aisle, with the grandeur of the castle behind her, was a moment to remember, made even more magical by the warm Tuscan sunlight.

Given the couple’s preference for a reportage-style approach, I focused on capturing genuine emotions: the nervous excitement before the vows, the sweet glances exchanged and the joy that radiated from every guest.

Castello di Celsa, a wedding venue like no other

After the ceremony, we explored the castle grounds for portraits, making use of hidden courtyards, ivy-covered walls and the architectural jewels offered by Castello di Celsa. The Tuscan landscape, embracing the estate with its glowing light and rolling hills, added an ethereal quality to the images.

As the sun began to set, the guests gathered for an imperial-style dinner in front of the castle’s grand courtyard entrance. The long banquet table, adorned in a simple yet elegant style and topped by string lights, created an enchanting atmosphere for the evening’s celebrations. Heartfelt speeches, laughter and emotional toasts made the dinner truly special, leading into an evening of lively dancing under the starlit sky.

For couples seeking a fairytale celebration in Tuscany, a wedding at Castello di Celsa offers a truly marvelous experience. From its historic charm to the spectacular views, it is the epitome of romantic elegance.
