Tuscany Wedding Cocktail Reception

Elena + Steve

This is the 4th post of I’m guessing 5 at this point from Elena + Steve’s destination wedding in Tuscany. check out other posts about their Tuscany destination wedding, Italian civil ceremony and some villa details.

Elena + Steve kicked off their multi day Tuscany destination wedding with a beautiful poolside cocktail reception the evening before the wedding at the villa La Sorgente di Francesca overlooking the gorgeous hills of Tuscany.

This wedding had guests from across Europe and North America so this was a great opportunity for everyone to get know each other over cocktails and a beautiful antipasto spread.

And then there was the moment when I was photographing a group shot of the guys when I finished I
JOKINGLY said ‘Okay now throw the groom in the pool!’ and well, then this happened.

Tobermory Wedding Rehearsal

Joohee + Joel

This was an amazing night for Joohee + Joel's rehearsal dinner up in Tobermory in September.

Family and friends from around the world came together for a sunset cruise (and what a sunset it was!) on one of the Blue Heron boats.   The cruise was almost canceled because of the weather... going out from the harbour, the waves were so rough the guests had to hang onto the catered dinner!

Once we were out there amongst the islands it was nice and smooth and everyone settled in for a great night. 

Photographing the rehearsal gives me a great chance to get to know everyone before the wedding, allowing everyone to relax when the camera is around.  

Check back soon on the blog for pictures from their amazing wedding the next day!
