Dave and Maddy traveled from Australia to Tuscany to exchange vows in a place that held deep meaning for both of them. For Dave, who is half Italian, the rolling hills of Tuscany were not just beautiful—they were a connection to his heritage and his late father.
La Palagina, their venue, offered the perfect setting with its cypress trees, olive groves, and golden sunlight. The day began with joy and laughter. As the couple prepared for the ceremony, friends gathered poolside, sharing spritzes and stories under the warm Tuscan sun.
Maddy looked breathtaking in her minimalist Vassi Bridal Couture gown, complete with elegant puff sleeves and a bow that complemented the timeless beauty of the surroundings. Their outdoor ceremony was heartfelt and intimate. As vows were exchanged beneath the shade of cypress trees, there wasn’t a dry eye in sight.
Joy and emotion filled the air, creating moments that will forever stay in their hearts—and in my photographs.

When the sun began to set, Dave and Maddy joined me for a romantic portrait session. Tuscany’s golden hour is like no other, and their love seemed to glow as brightly as the sunset. These moments felt almost magical, and I was grateful to capture their connection in such a breathtaking setting.
The celebration continued with a dinner under the stars, lit by strings of fairy lights. Traditional Tuscan dishes, like Fiorentina steak, and sweet treats like gelato and cannoli added a personal touch that reflected their love for Italian culture.
The evening turned into a lively party, with music, dancing, and laughter echoing through the villa, as family and friends celebrated the start of their new chapter together.
