Preparations and First Look
Natasha and Alexio began their wedding weekend immersed in the elegance of Tuscany. The couple got ready at La Crocicchia: Natasha in the bridal suite with her mother and bridesmaids, and Alexio downstairs in the library with his groomsmen. Alexio’s group celebrated the moment with a vintage bottle of whiskey while relaxing on the library’s sofas, dressed in black tie.
Before the ceremony, Natasha shared a private first look with her father—an emotional moment captured beautifully on film. Hair and makeup were styled by Hetty’s Beauty Parlour and IS Beauty Makeover, giving the couple a timeless and refined look for both photography and film.
Ceremony in the Gardens of La Crocicchia
The ceremony was a Christian service held in the estate’s tranquil gardens. Olive trees and rolling hills framed the setting, creating a sense of intimacy despite a guest list of 120. Natasha and Alexio exchanged deeply personal and moving vows, with heartfelt ring exchanges and emotional moments witnessed by their closest family and friends.
The gardens of La Crocicchia offered a picture-perfect backdrop, with Tuscan sunlight casting a warm glow over the couple and their guests. This serene environment allowed every detail—from floral arrangements to natural architecture—to shine on camera.
Portraits Across Tuscany
In addition to capturing portraits around La Crocicchia on their wedding day, we spent two days before the wedding on a dedicated Val D’Orcia photo shoot. Over two hours, Natasha and Alexio explored the rolling hills, cypress-lined roads, and golden landscapes, creating cinematic images that highlighted Tuscany’s iconic beauty and their connection as a couple.
On their wedding day, we continued portraits around the estate itself, using its gardens, terraces, and historic features to create intimate and elegant imagery that complements the region’s natural charm.
Reception and Celebration | Tuscany Wedding Videographer
Following the ceremony, guests enjoyed a lively drinks reception with canapés and cocktails. The singer performed throughout, adding a warm, personal touch to the atmosphere. Dinner was held inside a greenhouse illuminated by 400 glowing candles, with a grand piano enhancing the elegant ambiance.
The evening continued with high-energy celebration:
- A custom, three-tiered cake perched atop a vintage sewing machine paid homage to iconic Italian fashion
- Guests danced under the stars, surrounded by the estate’s timeless architecture
- Live music and interactive stations created an immersive, joyous experience
The reception perfectly balanced intimate emotion with the grandeur of a Tuscan destination wedding, showcasing both culture and natural beauty.
