villa la selva wedding

Villa La Selva has been part of the Tuscan landscape since the Medici family built their country villa here in the early 1400s. It sits between Siena, Arezzo and Florence in the Val d'Ambra, surrounded by vineyards and the kind of unhurried countryside that makes you want to stay longer than you planned. As a wedding venue it asks for something refined and intimate, and Vincent and Alexandra gave it exactly that.

Their family and friends flew in from the United States for a three-day celebration, the kind of wedding where the journey itself becomes part of the occasion. Three days gives a wedding room to breathe. The first evening arrivals, the gradual gathering of people who have crossed time zones to be together, the ceremony itself, and then the long, warm aftermath of a celebration that nobody wants to end. By the time everyone had settled into the rhythm of Villa La Selva, the atmosphere was easy, full, and completely unhurried.

A Villa La Selva wedding rewards photographers who are patient. The light moves differently across a wine estate than it does in a formal garden or a city venue. There is texture everywhere - the ancient stone, the rows of vines, the long views down into the Val d'Ambra - and the pace of the day felt entirely in keeping with a place that has barely changed in six hundred years. Vincent and Alexandra's wedding was refined, warm, and quietly extraordinary. Exactly what this venue deserves.
