And if you like any of these must-have photo ideas that we captured, don’t forget you can totally hire us to shoot your wedding in 2025 and 2026.
1. The ‘Under the Tuscan Sun(set)’
You’re in Tuscany, so lean into the cinematic magic! Find a dreamy vineyard or a sunset-drenched field and simply embrace—foreheads touching, eyes closed, soaking in the moment. Bonus points if the golden hour light kisses your skin just right. Easier for couples who are already planning their wedding at one of the many vineyards or wine estates in Tuscany. Works better towards late summer or early September, when the vines are still in their beautiful leafy glory.

2. A Private Moment in the Olive Grove
Tuscany’s olive groves make for a stunning natural backdrop. Wander through the trees and steal a kiss while your wedding photographer capture the intimacy. Use the neutral coloured olive leaves like a special photographic filter, one that won’t add any green-ish colour casts to your skin. For extra charm, twirl your partner around for a spontaneous, joyful shot.

3. Dance in a Pretty Piazza Like Nobody’s Watching
Tuscany’s medieval villages, like San Gimignano or Certaldo, have the most picturesque piazzas. Sneak in a spontaneous dance—whether it’s a waltz, a twirl, or a silly move that makes you both laugh. This creates dynamic, joy-filled images that radiate love and adventure. This works best if you have fun and get lost in the moment! Rehearsing your first dance ahead of the night offers another great chance to make this spontaneous yet dynamic capture happen.

4. Lost in the Cypress-Lined Roads
Those iconic winding roads lined with cypress trees are a must-have backdrop for a wedding photoshoot in Tuscany. Here the key is taking your time: hold hands, walk slowly, or even stop for a kiss in the middle of the road (safely, of course!). The leading lines create a sense of endless romance. Bonus points: book a wedding venue that has this desirable feature on its grounds, like Villa Boscarello or Terre di Nano – both pictured below. This way you won’t have to travel and wait around at the most iconic, but also busy, cypress road locations. Save this little photo trip for your day-after photoshoot perhaps, or for a day when you are not on a tight schedule.
