Siena & Chianti
Wedding photography and film around Siena
The countryside around Siena is the Tuscany people picture when they close their eyes: cypress-lined roads, stone castles on the hills, vineyards and olive groves that change color with every month. As Siena wedding photographers, we can tell you that a wedding here is rarely a single day. Couples take over a castle or a borgo for the weekend, and their guests end up living together, eating together and staying up late together.
Cinemotions Films is a luxury wedding photography and film studio founded by Luca Cristofari. We photograph and film weddings in Siena, Chianti and the Val d’Orcia for couples from all over the world. We accept a limited number of weddings each year, and the founder is personally present at every celebration.
Photography
A Siena wedding photographer for the Tuscan countryside
Photography comes first in everything we do. Natural, elegant images, with very little posing: the bride getting ready in a frescoed room, the ceremony in a castle garden, a walk down a road lined with cypresses when the sun gets low. In the countryside the light changes fast in the last hour of the day, and we plan the portraits around it.
Film
Cinematic wedding films in Chianti
Our films are built like short pieces of cinema, with sound, rhythm and the voices of the people you love. From above, the Sienese hills show their real shape, and we plan aerial images wherever the rules allow. Many couples choose photography and film together, so that one team tells the whole story with a single signature.
The venues
Castles, borghi and estates near Siena
We have photographed and filmed at Castello di Celsa, a castle with a circular chapel and Italian gardens just outside Siena, and at Borgo Vescine in Chianti, where a summer wedding turned into an al fresco feast among the wildflowers. We are happy to work anywhere in the area: the castles and borghi of Chianti, the estates of Montalcino and the Val d’Orcia, and Siena itself.
Many weddings here begin the evening before with a relaxed dinner in the gardens, sometimes with a wood-fired pizza party. For the rest of the region, see also our page on weddings in Tuscany our Florence wedding photography and our guide to castle weddings in Italy.

Siena wedding photographer: your questions
A few answers for couples planning a wedding near Siena.
Do you photograph weddings in Siena, Chianti and the Val d’Orcia?
Yes. We photograph and film weddings in Siena, in the castles and estates of Chianti, in the Val d’Orcia and across the Tuscan countryside, as well as anywhere in Italy and Europe.
Which months are best for a wedding in the Sienese countryside?
Late May, June and September are our favorites: long evenings, warm light and fields that are green in spring or golden in late summer. July and August are beautiful but hot, so we plan ceremonies later in the day.
Can you cover the welcome dinner and the whole weekend?
Of course. Many couples who marry near Siena stay in the same castle or borgo for the whole weekend, and we can tell all of it: welcome dinner, wedding day and farewell brunch.
Do you work with planners in Tuscany?
Yes. We work alongside the finest planners and venues in Tuscany, and we are always happy to collaborate with the planner you have chosen.
How much does a wedding photographer in Siena cost?
Every proposal is bespoke and depends on the days, the hours and whether you would like photography, film or both. Once we know your plans, we will send you a tailored proposal. You can read how we work in our investment guide.
