Winter Wedding in Rosewood Castiglion del Bosco, Montalcino

Getting married in winter in Italy is truly magical, and it becomes even more enchanting when the location is Tuscany—specifically Montalcino, in the heart of the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Val d’Orcia. Add to that the setting of Rosewood Castiglion del Bosco (ranked n.1 in Travel + Leisure’s 100 Best Hotels in the World ), and the magic is guaranteed. Castiglion del Bosco is an 800-year-old luxury resort steeped in history. It features the ruins of an ancient castle, a medieval church where the couple held their ceremony, a charming historic village, a world-class vineyard, a private members-only golf course, and expansive grounds dotted with private estates and rental villas. Imagine the wonder, the privilege and the inspiration of being a Wedding Photographer at Castiglion del Bosco.

Amy and Vince, a couple from the United States, had always dreamed of an intimate, romantic, elegant, and refined wedding. Their preparations took place in one of the villas on the estate with Christmas decorations setting the tone for their special day. The ceremony was held in the stunning medieval church, radiating timeless beauty and history.

The aperitif and dinner were truly unique experiences. Guests were treated to an aperitif in the estate’s barrel room, where Sangiovese wine matures for two years in exquisite French oak barrels before becoming the renowned Brunello di Montalcino. Dinner followed in the extraordinary 1100 Member’s Cellar, a space masterfully designed by Chiara Ferragamo and Tuscan designer Teresa Burgisser: this exclusive venue showcases the private wine collections of its members, blending sophistication with unparalleled craftsmanship.

Amy and Vince’s wedding was a celebration of love and elegance, enriched by the charm and flavors of Tuscany’s finest traditions and being the wedding photographer at Castiglion del Bosco for this beautiful couple was a wonderful human and professional experience. Enjoy the story of the day below.
