Italy Wedding Photographer | An Intimate Destination Wedding in the Heart of Umbria
Countryside Views, Editorial Moments & Understated Italian Elegance
As a destination wedding photographer who travels to Italy often, there is nothing quite like an intimate wedding in the heart of the Italian countryside. Maddey and Cooper, a couple from Australia, hosted their intimate July wedding at Favola Umbra, a countryside venue near Perugia that perfectly embodies the romantic charm of Umbria.
With rolling hills, olive trees, and lush greenery surrounding them, they opted for outdoor ceremony and reception spaces that let the natural beauty shine. The décor was intentionally minimal — the kind of elegance that doesn’t need to shout. Subtle touches, meaningful moments, and the golden light of the Italian summer created an atmosphere that felt both relaxed and refined.
Local Italian caterers served a seasonal feast that highlighted the flavors of Umbria, and live music added to the warmth of the evening as guests celebrated under the stars. From the emotional vows to the carefree dancing on the lawn, every part of the day was infused with joy and connection.
As a photographer, it was the ideal balance of editorial styling and candid storytelling — soft light, authentic emotion, and timeless backdrops made every frame truly special.
Whether you're planning a wedding in Tuscany, Umbria, or elsewhere in Italy, Maddey and Cooper’s day is a beautiful example of how meaningful a celebration can be when it’s grounded in love, simplicity, and embracing the special moments shared between the people who mean the most to you.
