WEDDING IN CASTELLO DI MONTIGNANO
My passion for wedding photography will never cease, in large part because of the incredible couples I work with and the amazing places they take me. Such was the story with Lauren and Jared’s Castello Di Montignano wedding, a three-day event filled with relaxation and romance. I felt privileged to be a part of their celebration and even more privileged to help tell their story.
Let me tell it for you now!
Relaxed Pre-Wedding Events
A pizza party started Lauren and Jared’s Castello Di Montignano wedding festivities. It welcomed all the guests and allowed them to relax and enjoy each other’s company prior to the big event.
The following day stayed with the theme of relaxation, but that time, the couple exchanged a pizza party for a white pool party. As before, all the guests enjoyed themselves, which was easy to do courtesy of a Castello Di Montignano wedding getaway.
Before I talk about the third day, I’d like to take a moment to thank the wedding planner, Erin Lindeman. She designed three impeccable, fun days for everyone involved. Without her passion, expertise, and attention to detail, this wedding wouldn’t have been the same.
I also owe her my thanks since Lauren and Jared found me through her. I look forward to working with Erin again.

An Elegant, Intimate Castello Di Montignano Wedding
Day three, of course, was the wedding day. The bride and her bridesmaids had an exciting morning of getting ready with hair and makeup in the bridal suite, followed by some lovely photography sessions on the beautiful castle balconies.
The entire morning was perfect, and I spent the time finding unique ways to take the couple’s getting-ready shots, such as taking a top-down shot of the bride as her makeup was applied. The photo came out looking like fine art, and I was thrilled to include it in Lauren and Jared’s album.

THE WEDDING CEREMONY
For their wedding, Lauren and Jared opted to have the ceremony outdoors in the lovely Castello Di Montignano wedding venue’s garden. The staff from Stiatti Fiori provided impressive flower arrangements for the outdoor ceremony. But you can never predict quite what will happen with an outdoor wedding. As was the case then, it started storming during the ceremony. It cleared out in time though, everything finished well, and the Jewish dance after the ceremony was intense and beautiful.

THE WEDDING RECEPTION
Then it was time for the party at night. Lauren, Jared, and their guests, having spent so much time relaxing and preparing, let everything loose for the reception. Within the castle’s walls, they danced, laughed, and kept the party going all through the night. Later in the evening, there were beautiful fireworks, which helped cap off a wonderful Castello Di Montignano wedding.

A New Journey Awaits
As I spent three days at Lauren and Jared’s Castello Di Montignano wedding, I became quite friendly with them and their guests. This allowed me to capture many of the moments I seek out as a wedding photographer: the intimate, the energy-filled, and the incredible.
But I’m not done yet! I’m always looking for more opportunities to provide my services to couples like you. If you’re looking for a wedding photographer willing to travel and work hard to give you the luxury you deserve, please reach out and let me know how I can help.
I’m looking forward to it!
