Three days wedding at Villa Gamberaia, Florence

An unforgettable three days wedding at Villa Gamberaia, in Tuscany

There’s something truly magical about a three days wedding, especially when set in the timeless elegance of a venue like Villa Gamberaia, just outside Florence. Roxana and Dex, a radiant couple from Las Vegas, chose this breathtaking Tuscan residence to celebrate their love with 45 close friends and family. The result was an event that perfectly balanced luxury, tradition and unforgettable moments – all captured through my lens as their wedding photographer.

Day 1, a warm Tuscan welcome

The 3-days celebration began with a welcome dinner on the first evening, immersing guests in the flavors of Tuscany and Italy. Set against the backdrop of the villa’s majestic architecture, the event featured traditional Tuscan dishes, wood-fired pizza and artisan gelato. It was a relaxed yet elegant start to the festivities, allowing everyone to settle into the enchanting atmosphere of Villa Gamberaia.

Roxana and Dex were eager to make the most of this special time, taking advantage of the golden hour to capture romantic portraits. Their joy and excitement shone through in every frame, creating glamorous and inspired pre-wedding photos.

Day 2, the main event: Villa Gamberaia wedding

The second of the three days was dedicated to the wedding itself, an event full of elegance and emotion. The couple opted for a symbolic ceremony in the villa’s iconic “Grottone”, a unique and evocative setting that perfectly reflects the particular charm of the venue. Before the ceremony, Roxana and Dex decided to have a “first look” – a private moment that was as exciting as it was beautiful to photograph.

As a wedding photographer, I was captivated by the endless opportunities that Villa Gamberaia offers for stunning portraits. The Italian-style garden, with its manicured hedges and spectacular views of Florence, is the perfect canvas for capturing such a precious moment in any love story.

After the touching ceremony, the evening transitioned into a refined cocktail and dinner at sunset, with the gardens providing a dreamlike setting for guests to dine and celebrate. One of the highlights was the cake-cutting ceremony, made even more special with a champagne sabering – a showstopping moment that epitomized the glamour of the occasion. And, after that and an outfit change, of course the party went on until late at night!

Day 3, a farewell brunch

The final step of this three days wedding brought everyone together once more for a laidback brunch in the villa’s serene surroundings. This intimate gathering allowed for more spontaneous photographs, not only of the couple but also of their guests, capturing the joy and camaraderie that defined the weekend.

Villa Gamberaia is a photographer’s dream, and this three day wedding celebration was proof of it. The combination of the villa’s historical elegance, the couple’s undeniable chemistry and the breathtaking Tuscan setting resulted in a collection of photos that tell a story of love, laughter and beauty.
