Lonneke and Dario’s al fresco wedding in Villa Magna, Tuscany

Where love meets memories

Some places are more than a beautiful backdrop: they are part of the story. For Lonneke and Dario that place was Dario’s family home in Villa Magna, a small village in the hills near Florence, and it became the heart of a day that felt intimate, authentic and deeply emotional.

A church in the village

Lonneke and Dario chose to gather their loved ones in a place that truly belongs to them. Their ceremony took place in the small village church, a simple and heartfelt moment that reflected who they are.

A walk through the countryside

Then something special happened. Instead of cars or formal transfers, everyone walked back to the villa together through the Tuscan countryside, among olive trees and rows of cypresses. It was one of those rare moments when time seems to stretch, and connection, laughter and landscape become one.

Dinner under the open sky

Back at the villa the atmosphere turned naturally into a relaxed and joyful al fresco celebration. The aperitivo flowed into dinner at long tables under the open sky, where conversations, light and summer air blended effortlessly. These are the moments we love to capture: the in between, the spontaneous, the real.

The day was full of meaningful touches. Instead of a traditional bouquet toss, Lonneke tied several ribbons to her bouquet, each one held by a friend. Without looking, she cut them one by one until only one ribbon was left, a simple and emotional way to create anticipation. Later Dario opened a bottle of champagne with a sabrage, a bold and festive gesture to crown the evening.

Telling a day like this means capturing not only how a wedding looks, but how it feels. Lonneke and Dario’s wedding was a perfect balance of elegance and intimacy, tradition and personality, in the place that matters most to them.
