Tuscany, Italy Destination Wedding | Paula & Rod

I had the privilege of photographing Paula and Rod’s intimate destination wedding in Italy. Palazzo Prugnoli is a 16th century villa on the Umbrian-Tuscan border. It was also the site of their week-long wedding celebration. There they stayed with about a dozen of their family and friends. American and Italian wedding vendors collaborated to create the perfect Italian destination wedding. Everything was perfection – from the venue, to the music, florals and most delicious food.

Following the ceremony at the villa, I took Paula and Rod up the road to the quaint village of Monte Santa Maria Tiberina. This quiet hilltop town served as a romantic setting for their wedding photos. Above all, it was a magical place for the bride and groom to spend their first few moments as husband and wife.

While I love to photograph weddings in my beautiful home state of California, my heart always longs to travel. So I now offer destination weddings and elopements at a flat rate. Therefore you don’t have to worry about hidden fees or arranging travel for me. I make it easy for couples to book me for weddings anywhere in the world.
