Under the Tuscan Moon- A magical destination wedding at Mastrojanni Winery in Tuscany, Italy

2022 was the year of manifestation. When we put an Italy Destination Wedding on our vision board earlier this year, deep down I knew it would happen.

Amanda and Joey reached out to us earlier this year about documenting their destination wedding at a winery in Tuscany in September. They vetted a lot of photographers and after a super vibey zoom call, they chose us as their photographer and videographer and we were beyond honored to travel to the land of pasta, wine, and architecture for a job of our lifetime.

They chose MastroJanni Winery near the little town of Montalcino as their venue for their Tuscany Italy Destination Wedding. With everything they needed right there on the property, this mostly all-inclusive venue was a no-brainer. The food (even the vendor meals!), the wine, the bedrooms, and the grounds in general were truly one-of-a-kind as far as wedding venues go. Elisa Prati was the wedding planner of our dreams and pulled together such an amazing experience for A + J and their families.

Amanda’s eye for style and laid-back attitude was honestly the perfect combo for pulling off such an effortless and vibrant wedding day. Her Pinterest board was full of modern wedding imagery and her style leaned heavy on the film-inspired grainy look. I was happy to oblige and stretch my creativity and totally thrived with creative freedom.

Unique touches from this wedding day that will always stand out as a wedding vendor:

  • Amanda’s yoga-instructor sister lead most of the crew through a pre-wedding yoga sesh.

  • She had three different wedding dress looks- 1) fun puffy sleeves 2) removed the sleeves 3) a reception dress

  • While waiting on the knife to cut the cake, Amanda + Joey said f*ck it and ate the cake straight on. It was bad, hilarious, and perfect.

  • The couple and most of their friends jumped into the pool together at the end of the reception. Pure chaos but the perfect end to midnight rowdiness.
