Rebecca & Kyle
Intimate Celebration at Villa Medicea di Lilliano, Florence
Becca and Kyle celebrated their wedding at Villa Medicea di Lilliano with a first look, an intimate garden ceremony and dinner beneath glowing chandeliers. Set in the Tuscan hills near Florence, the villa provided a beautiful setting for a celebration shared with their closest family and friends.
The day began with a first look before the ceremony, giving Becca and Kyle a moment together before joining their guests. It also created time for relaxed portraits around the villa, where wooden doors, arched entrances and garden paths offered a mix of architectural detail and greenery. With gentle direction and space to enjoy each other’s company, their smiles and natural gestures gave the photographs warmth and personality.
For the ceremony, white chairs were arranged in two small groups facing the villa’s ornate stone fountain. Becca walked through the garden with her parents to meet Kyle, surrounded by afternoon sunshine and the people closest to them. The fountain’s textured stonework framed the ceremony, while exchanged glances and guests’ reactions brought the story to life. Their kiss in the aisle was another joyful moment in a celebration that felt personal throughout.
Photographing a wedding at Villa Medicea di Lilliano offers the opportunity to bring together the intimacy of a couple’s story and the character of the Tuscan setting. In Becca and Kyle’s gallery, wider views of the estate sit alongside closer portraits and spontaneous moments with their guests. My approach combines documentary wedding photography with carefully composed portraits, keeping the experience relaxed while paying attention to light, expression and composition.
As evening arrived, everyone gathered around one long table in the garden beneath suspended chandeliers. The warm light across the table, with the garden falling into darkness beyond it, created a different atmosphere from the sunlit afternoon. It was a beautiful closing chapter to their intimate destination wedding in Tuscany, with everyone together in one place.
