Luca & Simona, wedding at La seminatrice, chieti


Luca and Simona's wedding at Tenuta La Seminatrice, set amidst Rieti hills, was not merely a wedding, it was a celebration of a love affair that had already come so far.

Having spent years developing alongside each other, city-hopping alongside the country, they arrived here in this idyllic spot in center Italy to cement their union with loved ones and friends. The bride and groom took their vows during a serene outdoor ceremony, set amidst the estate's mystical bamboo forest, quite arguably the most unusual natural wedding location in Lazio. The shimmering leaves and sunshine produced a peaceful, almost fairy-tale environment that reflected their deep emotional connection.


When the sun was nearing sunset, the estate sprang to life. Portrait photographs were taken in the warm light of the golden hour, winding along the forest paths and across the Tenuta La Seminatrice gardens. They ate dinner outside beneath the string lights twinkling over them, then afterwards a wild party with a live band, tearful speeches, and dancing under the stars.

Luca and Simona's day was hot, emotional, and intimate, a stunning example of their enduring love and the ultimate destination wedding experience right in the heart of Italy.
