Intimate Wedding in Tuscany, Italy

Tuscany Intimate Weddings: Lene and Ariell’s Dream Celebration

Lene and Ariell are one of the most amazing and kind couples I have had the pleasure of knowing! They always dreamed of a destination wedding and found their perfect spot in the serene and stunning countryside of Tuscany. Opting for a small and intimate wedding, they invited only 35 of their closest family members and friends, making their Tuscany intimate wedding truly special.

Their microwedding took place at Le Canterie, an ancient Tuscan farm that has been lovingly renovated into a special getaway for couples and families. This intimate setting was perfect for Lene and Ariell, allowing them to spend quality time with each other and their loved ones. The serene ambiance of Tuscany provided the ideal backdrop for creating meaningful and intentional experiences that they will cherish forever. Flying all the way from Norway, the entire group, including the bride and groom, embraced the beauty and tranquility of a Tuscany intimate wedding.

Day 1: Lene and Ariell’s Timeless Adventure in Radicondoli before their Intimate Wedding

Lene and Ariell kicked off their celebration with an adventure photoshoot in the charming town of Radicondoli. Nestled in the heart of Tuscany, Radicondoli is a picturesque town that exudes old-world charm, making it an ideal location for Tuscany intimate weddings. With its cobblestone streets, medieval architecture, and breathtaking views of the surrounding countryside, Radicondoli is truly a hidden gem for couples seeking a romantic and intimate wedding experience.

As we strolled down the narrow alleys, we were enchanted by the beautifully preserved buildings, ancient churches, and the warm, welcoming atmosphere of the town. Radicondoli is a place where time seems to stand still, offering a perfect backdrop for capturing timeless moments during Tuscany intimate weddings. Lene and Ariell’s photoshoot here was filled with the magic of Tuscany, where every corner of the town provided a stunning setting for their love story.

A Warm Welcome Party at Le Canterie Agriturismo

After the photoshoot, we headed to Le Canterie Agriturismo for Lene and Ariell’s welcome party. Le Canterie is a beautifully restored farm that blends rustic charm with modern comfort, making it an ideal venue for Tuscany intimate weddings. The owners of Le Canterie, passionate about preserving the authenticity of the Tuscan countryside, have created a space that feels like a home away from home. Surrounded by rolling hills, lush vineyards, and olive groves, the venue offers a tranquil and picturesque setting that perfectly complements the essence of Tuscany intimate weddings.

The welcome party was a celebration of authentic Italian cuisine, with dishes made from ingredients sourced directly from the farm and neighboring friends. The menu featured delicious wood-fired pizza, a variety of Italian sodas, and exquisite local wines, showcasing the rich flavors of Tuscany. The evening was filled with heartfelt speeches, a fun questionnaire game to see who knew the couple best, and lots of laughter and joy. Guests mingled under the stars, enjoying the warm Italian evening and the delightful ambiance that Le Canterie provides, making it a perfect choice for Tuscany intimate weddings.

Day 2: Lene and Ariell’s Intimate Wedding Day at Le Canterie

Lene and Ariell’s intimate wedding was a beautiful celebration of love, perfectly set against the charming ambiance and stunning backdrop of Tuscany’s rolling hills at Le Canterie. Known for its serene surroundings and breathtaking views, Le Canterie is a dream location for Tuscany intimate weddings. The entire farm is enveloped by the natural beauty of the Tuscan countryside, with panoramic vistas that stretch as far as the eye can see, creating an idyllic setting for such a special day.

The couple shared a touching “first touch” moment, followed by a heartfelt prayer with their parents before the ceremony. The emotional vows and the loving gazes exchanged between Lene and Ariell made the ceremony truly special, encapsulating the essence of Tuscany intimate weddings.

After exchanging vows, we moved to a picturesque road lined with tall Italian cypress trees for some stunning photos. This iconic Tuscan landscape, with its tall, slender trees and winding roads, provided a magical backdrop, perfect for capturing unforgettable moments during Tuscany intimate weddings.

The reception was a feast of authentic Italian pasta, which we even had the pleasure of watching being made from scratch! The skilled chefs at Le Canterie take pride in their culinary traditions, using fresh, local ingredients to create mouthwatering dishes that showcase the rich flavors of Tuscany. Guests enjoyed a multi-course meal that included handmade pasta, succulent meats, and delectable desserts, all perfectly paired with fine Italian wines.

The evening was filled with sweet speeches that brought happy tears to many guests. A special surprise performance by Ariell’s brother and sister-in-law, who wrote a song for the couple, added a heartfelt and personal touch to the celebration. The night concluded with everyone dancing under twinkling lights, creating a magical and unforgettable end to a perfect day—one that truly exemplifies the beauty and joy of Tuscany intimate weddings.

"Sheryl is the absolute best! She has great upbeat energy yet makes you feel calm and confident during the photoshoot. She is the perfect combo of hype and grace. We were both so nervous to be in front of the camera, but Sheryl provided great suggestions for poses and movement. Eventually, we became so comfortable that she captured some of the most candid moments that didn’t feel forced. We both were so happy with how natural and candid the pictures turned out. Sheryl captured such beautiful memories that we are going to cherish for a lifetime. Her pictures stand out because it feels so organic and her editing is timeless. We are so grateful for Sheryl and her photography skills!"

"I could try to describe how wonderful Sheryl is as a photographer both artistically as well as personally, but I don’t think I command enough mastery of the English language to do her and the magic she creates with her camera justice. Sheryl is an artist and a savant at that. She is to the digital photograph what Saragent is to the canvas, in addition to being a genuinely pleasant, incredibly kind, and unbelievably thoughtful person to work with."

"I could not recommend Sheryl enough!! Me and my husband were so nervous to have our photos done because of how awkward we can be, but Sheryl made us feel so comfortable and gave us prompts that were so fun! She has the best energy & her excitement and passion for photography is so amazing to work with. We are so grateful we had the opportunity to meet and work with her, and can’t wait to reach out to her for future photos! If you are looking for a sign to book her, this is it!!"
