Following their stylish civil ceremony at Marylebone Town Hall, Danielle and Luke brought their wedding dreams to life in the rolling hills of Tuscany with a destination celebration that was equal parts elegant, joyful, and wildly fun. As a Destination Wedding Photographer, there’s nothing more rewarding than capturing a day like this where luxury meets laughter and every moment feels genuinely lived in.
Set at the breathtaking Villa di Ulignano, this Luxury Wedding had all the hallmarks of an editorial masterpiece romantic florals, golden Italian light, and effortless style—wrapped in the kind of emotion and spontaneity that makes storytelling so rich.
The Setting: Tuscany at Its Best
Villa di Ulignano, perched in the Tuscan countryside, provided a dreamlike setting for Danielle and Luke’s celebration. Surrounded by olive trees, terracotta tones, and distant vineyards, the villa offered not only beauty but soul, a place with real atmosphere and character.
The floral design echoed the landscape: soft peach, auburn, orange, and green tones that melted into the venue’s natural aesthetic. It was Tuscany in colour form, warm, romantic, and alive.
Chic Style, Big Emotion
Danielle, whose London ceremony look was already a standout, embraced a relaxed yet refined style once again. Her Suzanne Neville gown felt timeless in silhouette but modern in detail. Her signature flawless makeup and softly styled hair completed a bridal look that was both editorial and entirely “her.”
Luke, equally stylish, brought quiet confidence to the day, and together they moved through each moment with a connection that was unmistakable. They’re one of those couples you can’t help but photograph well, because they simply are well together.
A Wedding That Sang (Literally)
Dinner was served outside, long tables stretching across the front of the villa, framed by the Tuscan landscape. And then…it rained.
But rather than interrupt the moment, it made the evening unforgettable. Guests threw napkins over their heads, the surprise singing waiters broke into ABBA, and soon everyone was on their feet, drenched in laughter (and a little rain), singing into the night. It was the kind of scene you couldn’t stage if you tried – pure, cinematic joy.
Danielle and Luke danced in the rain, espresso martini towers flowed, and every single person present seemed to forget time existed. It was magic.
Tuscany with Soul
This wasn’t just a beautiful wedding, it was a celebration full of heart. From vintage cars to heartfelt speeches to the euphoric energy of dancing under the stars, every frame told a story of love & presence, this was a real pinch me moment moment.
As a London Wedding Photographer and Italy Wedding Photographer, I often talk about the importance of place, but what Danielle and Luke created went beyond location. Their wedding had soul. The kind of joy you can’t fake. The kind of love you feel even when looking at a still image.
Final Thoughts
If you’re dreaming of a celebration in Tuscany that’s equal parts elevated and relaxed, refined and real, Villa di Ulignano is a venue that delivers all of that and more. And if you’re looking for an Editorial Wedding Photographer to capture your story with elegance and emotion, I’d love to hear what you’re planning.
Danielle and Luke, thank you for the trust, the laughter, and the memories. Your love deserves its own Italian film, this was it.
