WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER IN FLORENCE – TUSCANY

INTRODUCTION

Every great Tuscan wedding begins the night before. In Florence, a few steps from the Renaissance heart of the city, family and friends gathered for an elegant welcome dinner: the first chapter of a bespoke wedding weekend designed by Che Chic Wedding. We were there to photograph the warmth, the details and the excitement of an evening where guests from all over the world met for the first time.

THE GUESTS: A FIRST TOAST IN FLORENCE

A welcome dinner is the moment when a destination wedding truly starts. Hugs at the arrival, first toasts, stories shared across long candlelit tables: it is the evening when two families become one big party. Our approach is discreet and natural, so every guest can relax while we capture genuine smiles and spontaneous moments.

FLORENCE: THE PERFECT STAGE FOR A WELCOME DINNER

Florence is one of the most romantic cities in the world for a destination wedding. Its historic palazzi, hidden gardens and golden evening light turn every gathering into a scene from a film. For a welcome dinner, the city offers that rare mix of elegance and Italian warmth that makes guests fall in love with Tuscany from the very first night.

THE EVENING: ELEGANCE AND ITALIAN WARMTH

Flowers, candles and refined tablescapes welcomed the guests, followed by a dinner celebrating the best of Tuscan cuisine and wine. Laughter, music and heartfelt speeches filled the night, and we photographed every detail, from the décor to the emotions on the faces of the couple and their loved ones.

THE PLANNING: A BESPOKE EVENT BY CHE CHIC WEDDING

The welcome dinner was part of a bespoke wedding weekend created by Che Chic Wedding. Every element was designed with care to tell the couple’s story and to give their guests an unforgettable introduction to Florence. Working closely with the planners, we followed a timeline that allowed us to capture both the atmosphere and the most meaningful moments of the evening.
