Tuscany wedding photographer for American couples
A multi-day destination wedding in Tuscany, Tenuta di Sticciano
Tuscany: Europe’s most beloved destination for multi-day weddings
A multi-day wedding doesn’t just look like a longer version of a wedding day. It’s something else! Closer to a gathering, a vacation, a slow unfolding. The formality of a single ceremony gives way to breakfasts together, afternoons by the pool, and conversations and connections that couldn’t have happened in a shorter span.
AI photographed four such days at Tenuta di Sticciano, a country estate in the Tuscan countryside, for a Dutch/ American couple who wanted to marry where everyone could actually settle in.
The celebration was planned by A Taste of Italy, a luxury wedding planning team known for creating stylish and fun celebrations with heart.
By day three, no one was checking their phones. Guests from across the US, Europe and South America who never met before, were eating long lunches together, laughing through stories, splashing each other in the pool.
The couple weren’t performing for their guests anymore. They were just with them.
That’s what a multi-day celebration gives you: the space for everything to become real.

The wedding day at Tenuta di Sticciano
As a Tuscany wedding photographer, I’m always aware of how little needs to be added.
The ceremony took place beneath a wide, low-hanging tree.
Natural. Effortless. Exactly right for the setting.
The bride arrived on her father’s arm in a gown by Maggie Sottero, while the groom wore a custom jacket by Daniel George(tailored in Chicago and San Francisco).
Florals by Ape Maia blended quietly into the surroundings.
Soft and understated. Nothing competing for attention.
They exchanged vows on a white garden bench, surrounded by the people closest to them.
Afterwards, the day unfolded slowly.
A champagne tower followed by dinner outdoors as the light softened.
And a celebration that carried on well into the night.
A multi-day destination wedding in Tuscany: The days leading up
The days leading up began quietly. A small welcome dinner under the pine trees at Tenuta di Sticciano, one of the most charming wedding venues in Tuscany.
Long tables. Warm light. People arriving from different places, slowly settling in.
Guests had travelled from across the US and Europe.
Not all knowing each other yet.
The couple opened the evening with a toast.
Mentioning each guest by name.
Simple and personal.
A beginning that set the tone for everything that followed.
Pool party
The next day shifted into something lighter.
A poolside afternoon under the Tuscan sun.
Aperol in hand, feet in the water, laughter carrying through the olive trees.
By evening, everyone came together again.
A longer table. More voices.
A live band playing as the sun dropped behind the hills.
As the evening settled in, the energy shifted.
Dancing started without needing an announcement.
Music, warm air, and a garden that stayed alive well into the night..
Planning a Destination Wedding in Tuscany from the US
Planning a wedding in Tuscany from abroad comes with its own rhythm.
Different pace.
Different light.
Different way of doing things.
Which is often exactly why couples choose it.
I stay close to the process where needed.
Helping shape timelines around the light.
Working alongside planners and local teams.
Keeping things calm and considered as the days unfold.
Always close enough to notice, never in the way.
So you don’t have to think about how it’s documented.
You can stay present in it.
I’ve worked with couples travelling in from different parts of the world, across Italy and beyond.
Each celebration shaped by its own energy, its own people, its own pace.
Some couples considering Tuscany are also weighing a wedding in the Netherlands.
