JULIANA & JULIAN
WEDDING IN SAN GALGANO, TUSCANY
Romantic Ceremony in San Galgano Abbey
If you get married in Tuscany and you are looking for a unique and unforgettable location, the Abbey of San Galgano is one of the most fascinating and exclusive wedding destinations. The Abbey of San Galgano was a Cistercian monastery founded in the valley of the river Merse between the municipalities of Chiusdino and Monticiano, in the province of Siena, in Tuscany. Currently, the roofless walls of the 13th-century Gothic abbey church still stand. The timeless charm of this place is one of the reasons why the abbey is today one of the most iconic and coveted wedding locations.
The wedding photo shoots made in the Abbey of San Galgano, in Tuscany are always incredibly magical, in any light condition. But when the sun decides to play with the large arches that still overlook the famous abbey without the roof, the spectacle is guaranteed. It is mid-May, a wonderful spring day and to choose the Abbey of San Galgano as their destination wedding is a couple from California, in love with Tuscany. The preparation of the spouses takes place in the surroundings of Siena, with Juliana staying at the Hothel Athena, while Julian is in Castel di Pugna, an enchanting estate on the outskirts of the city and perfect venue for destination weddings, which will also be the place for the reception afterwards. the ceremony. The journey to the Abbey of San Galgano takes about 45 minutes, but doing it in Juliana and her bridesmaids’ limo is really enjoyable. When the bride arrives, the small group of guests enters the abbey, where Julian is already waiting for the bride at the altar. The civil ceremony is short but exciting and the photos of the couple leaving the church are very choreographic. After the ritual photo session with relatives, there is time to take portrait photos of the couple inside the Abbey. Thanks to the sun, it is possible to create splendid portraits played between light and shadow. The mysticism and the magneficence of the location do the rest. The reception at Castel di Pugna begins around 7.30 pm with a fantastic aperitif with a view of Siena at sunset. A rich dinner with Tuscan munù follows. After the photos of the cake cutting and the bride and groom’s first dance, the wedding party continues late into the night, which gives me and my staff enough time to take some fun and very colorful shots.
