Wedding at La Selva Giardino del Belvedere, Tuscany, Italy

Intimate Destination Wedding in Tuscany at La Selva

An intimate destination wedding at La Selva in Tuscany, Italy. On a warm summer day, Alison and Steve gathered with loved ones who flew in from America to celebrate. The outdoor dinner under the moonlight featured fresh pasta, pizza, and prosecco — with guests dressed in soft beige tones, evoking the charm of a timeless Italian celebration.

Set in the heart of Tuscany’s rolling hills, La Selva proved to be the perfect backdrop for their relaxed and joyful celebration. The weekend began with a laid-back welcome party the evening before the wedding — a casual pizza night under the olive trees. With the scent of wood-fired dough in the air and glasses of wine in hand, it was the perfect way for guests to settle in and reconnect before the big day.

The wedding itself unfolded slowly and beautifully, with Alison and Steve exchanging vows surrounded by cypress trees and golden summer light. There was no rush — just a genuine sense of presence and calm that carried through the entire day. The dinner was held al fresco, with long wooden tables set beneath strings of fairy lights and the moon shining overhead. Every detail felt intentional yet unforced — from the seasonal Italian menu to the soft color palette that blended so naturally with the Tuscan surroundings.

As a photographer, days like this are a dream to capture. The combination of soft light, earthy textures, and honest emotion made this wedding feel effortlessly poetic. Alison and Steve’s celebration at La Selva was a reminder of what makes destination weddings in Italy so special: beauty, simplicity, and shared moments that linger long after the last glass of prosecco is poured.
