Woodland Wedding in Tuscany
Felicia and Kunal’s woodland wedding in Tuscany was a breathtaking celebration set against the romantic backdrop of rolling hills and ancient trees. The day began in the most serene way, with Felicia leading a morning yoga class, allowing her and her closest friends, to find calm before the excitement of the celebrations. Felicia then joined her Maid of Honour and Bridesmaids in the Bridal Suite to get ready, with the flower girls arriving later.
Meanwhile, second photographer David documented Kunal and his groomsmen at Villa La Lavandaia, for their final preparations before heading to the ceremony.
A Magical Outdoor Ceremony at Borgo Pignano
Set in the historic Borgo Pignano, an 18th-century estate nestled in the heart of Tuscany, Felicia and Kunal’s ceremony was a perfect blend of elegance and nature. The woodland setting, with sunlight filtering through the trees, provided an enchanting atmosphere for their heartfelt vows. Conducted by celebrant Alex, the ceremony featured readings before the couple exchanged rings and pledged their lives to one another in front of their wedding guests.
Following the ceremony, the newlyweds walked back through the forest to the drinks reception, where guests enjoyed Tuscan wine and canapés. During this time, we captured some quick family group photos, ensuring these special moments were documented while allowing the couple to enjoy the celebration.
As guests found their seats inside the marquee, Felicia and Kunal took a short moment for portraits against the breathtaking backdrop of Borgo Pignano. The golden-hour light was perfect, wrapping them in a soft, romantic glow—an unforgettable moment before the evening celebrations began.
Dinner was a feast of authentic Tuscan cuisine, paired with locally sourced wines. After some heartfelt and entertaining speeches, Felicia and Kunal’s first dance under twinkling fairy lights set the tone for a night of celebration. The energy on the dance floor was electric, with guests of all ages joining in the festivities.
