When Chiara and Jacopo first got in touch asking us to photograph their wedding in Florence we were over the moon! Sadly, once we’d checked the dates, we then realised we weren’t available and back down to earth we came. No amount of re-jigging of our plans or travel arrangements were working so it was with a heavy heart we had to wish them well and offered to help them find another photographer.

A month or so later, the lovely bride-to-be sent us an email with the subject line simply reading “How about the 16th April?!”

Yes! We were available and super excited that we now had the chance to photograph the amazing Tuscan wedding they had planned at the iconic Palazzo Vecchio in Florence!

Once we’d arrived in Florence, we met with Chiara and her super lovely mum to say hello and head over to the most perfect apartment that they had booked for us for the next 5 days. From the moment we met Chiara, we knew we were going to have the best time together! She is so fun and vibrant and when we met Jacopo too, who is so kind and gentle, we felt even more blessed that these two lovely people had brought us to their hometown of Florence to share in their special day.

We arrived on the wedding morning at Chiara’s parents’ home and felt so welcome instantly. We captured the morning preparations as usual but this time with a welcome addition of some ‘proper’ espresso and biscotti!

Tobiah headed into the centre of Florence to meet Jacopo at Sartoria Rossi where he was dressed by their tailors. Needless to say, he looked super smart and once he and his best man were ready, it was time to go to the wedding!

Chiara and Jacopo had chosen to get married in the Sala Rossa at Palazzo Vechhio, in the centre of Florence. Once the bride arrived in the coolest vintage car, the ceremony began. There were readings from their closest friends, personal vows and lots of tears and laughter.

The newlyweds along with all of their guests walked through the streets of Florence to arrive at their reception venue, Palazzo Ximenes. The most beautiful setting for a Florence wedding, with sculptures, elaborate ceilings and grand rooms and pretty lemon trees and lawns outside.

Once everyone had enjoyed the aperitivo, we headed upstairs to the banqueting room for the wedding breakfast. In true Italian style there were lots and lots of courses! A big thank you to our bride and groom for including us in this fabulous feast!

The glorious wedding cake was made, hand finished and delivered and served by cake extraordinaire, Melanie from Tuscan Wedding Cakes. We were lucky enough to have a little taste and wow, it was one of the nicest cakes we had ever tasted!

The busker band that Chiara and Jacopo had chosen provided the best soundtrack to a perfect Spring evening as the guests enjoyed deserts and cocktails in the sunshine.

A huge thank you once again for bringing us to Florence! Auguri y grazie!!!

Please enjoy the wedding story of Chiara & Jacopo.
