A Luxury Elopement and Microwedding at Borgo Santo Pietro in Tuscany
Can luxury and untraditional go together? Absolutely! A&D chose to celebrate their love in a way that ticked both these boxes. Their Borgo Santo Pietro elopement was crafted with a deeply personal touch, combining the elegance of a five-star Tuscan resort with the warmth and freedom of an intimate celebration that followed exactly what they wanted, proof that a microwedding or elopement can be just as meaningful, luxurious and beautiful as a large-scale event.

Borgo Santo Pietro and its Gardens: the perfect Microwedding Backdrop
The ceremony took place in one of the enchanting gardens at Borgo Santo Pietro. Under the shade of an ancient tree, A&D exchanged vows surrounded by the sounds of rustling leaves and dancing speckles of sunlight. The setting felt timeless, a moment of deep connection surrounded by beauty. As a wedding photographer, moments like these are a privilege to capture for a couple who are completely present and dedicated to each other. Borgo Santo Pietro offers countless beautiful spaces, but the aromatic garden is truly unmatched as a backdrop to celebrate love and make timeless memories. So, after the ceremony, we immediately wandered off to the estate’s famous lavender garden. Rows of fragrant blooms framed A&D in a setting that was both serene and dramatic - after all, it was midday in July and we were literally under the Tuscan sun! The fragrance of lavender hung in the air while we photographed candid moments of laughter and happiness. The joy of a day without rigid timelines made it all better.

A Picnic Lunch to Remember
Borgo Santo Pietro is known for its luxurious accommodations, lush gardens, and exceptional service. For couples planning an elopement or microwedding, it offers an atmosphere that is intimate while elegance embraces every wedding detail, from the ceremony to the meal. Instead of a formal wedding banquet, A&D chose an elegant picnic lunch on the estate grounds. A spread of locally sourced Tuscan delicacies were arranged under a canopy of leaves in the SPA area of the luxury resort - accompanied by a bottle of champagne for a sparkling toast to the special occasion. Fresh bread, artisanal cheeses, and seasonal fruits made for a relaxed yet joyful meal. The choice reflected the couple’s untraditional approach to their elopement in Tuscany, centred around keeping the focus on their connection, comfort, and savoring every moment together.
