Elisa and Francesco
Wedding at San Galgano: Romantic Photography at the Abbey
A wedding at San Galgano is more than a celebration: it is a timeless experience surrounded by history and untouched nature. The Abbazia di San Galgano, a stunning 13th-century Cistercian monastery in the Sienese countryside, is one of Tuscany’s most breathtaking locations. Its most distinctive feature — the missing roof — transforms the abbey into an open-air cathedral where the sky becomes part of the ceremony and natural light shapes every photograph.
Elisa and Francesco chose a wedding at San Galgano because of its intimate and poetic atmosphere. Their first portraits were captured inside the majestic stone walls, where history and emotion blend into unforgettable imagery.
The reception took place at Borgo il Poggiaccio, an elegant Tuscan estate surrounded by rolling hills. Stone vaults, terracotta floors, and a panoramic terrace overlooking vineyards and olive groves create the perfect balance between medieval charm and refined hospitality. At sunset, golden light embraced the couple, offering the ideal setting for romantic portraits by the pool and across the iconic Chianti countryside.
Thanks to such an extraordinary venue, this wedding at San Galgano became one of the most emotional and visually striking celebrations of the season.
