One of my dreams was to photograph an intimate wedding in Tuscany, and I couldn’t have asked for better than this couple who decided to have an elopement at San Galgano Abbey Tuscany. Mike and Geline come from Tampa, Florida, but Geline has her origines in Philippines.

Gelene and Mike carefully chose the locations for their elopement: one of the most beautiful hotels in Italy, nestled in the Tuscan countryside. San Galgano Abbey for the couples’ service, a magical and timeless place. The ingredients for this wedding were simply perfect

They decided to stay together for their getting ready, which took place at the incredible Castello di Casole, a Belmond hotel, where they had booked a huge apartment for both of them. So Mike, the groom, got ready in the living room and Gelene in the bedroom to have the “dress surprise.”

After a beautiful and simple ceremony where they read their vows, wiping away tears, we decided to take some pictures in the huge garden of that beautiful hotel. Finally, when the sun went down, we went to the Abbey of San Galgano to take some more photos in this amazing place.

Geline and Mike decided to get married alone because they felt the wedding was a private affair, something they did not want to share. Of course, they planned a big party in Tampa when they returned!

So here is this lovely Elopement at San Galgano Abbey Tuscany, one of my favorite of this incredible year!
