Belmond Villa San Michele, perched in the hills overlooking Florence, is a venue that brings every wedding dream to life. Originally a 15th-century monastery, it’s now a luxury hotel surrounded by beautiful gardens, cypress trees, and breathtaking views. It’s the perfect choice for couples looking for a romantic and timeless location for their big day.

This particular wedding was nothing short of magical. The celebration spanned four days, starting with a welcome dinner that set the tone for the days ahead. The main event—the ceremony—took place in the villa’s iconic garden. The green surroundings, the classic Tuscan landscape, and the stunning floral arrangements by Flowers Living created an atmosphere of pure romance. Seeing the bride walk down the aisle framed by such beauty was a moment we were so honored to capture.

After the ceremony, guests gathered for a relaxed cocktail hour in the villa’s courtyard, enjoying delicious Italian wine and the company of friends and family. Dinner followed in the open air under twinkling lights, with long tables perfectly styled to reflect the elegance of the setting. The catering by Belmond Villa San Michele was a feast of Italian flavors, leaving everyone raving about the experience.

As the evening unfolded, music brought the celebration to life. From the soft sounds of live performances to the high-energy dance floor, every moment was unforgettable. The planning and execution by Colin Cowie Lifestyle were flawless, ensuring that every detail came together seamlessly. Photographing alongside the legendary Jose Villa was a dream come true, making this wedding a true highlight of our work.

Belmond Villa San Michele is a venue like no other, offering endless opportunities for beautiful photography and unforgettable memories. If you’re planning your wedding here, we would love to tell your story with timeless, heartfelt photos that capture the magic of your special day.
