Start of the day at Borgo della Meliana and getting ready

Fred and Patricia, a lovely couple from the Netherlands, celebrated their dream wedding in the heart of Tuscany, at the enchanting Borgo della Meliana, located in the province of Florence. As a Tuscany wedding videographer, I had the privilege of capturing every magical moment of their special day.

The day began with intimate preparations at Borgo della Meliana, surrounded by its beautiful gardens and timeless architecture. Patricia and Fred got ready in the serene atmosphere of the villa, setting the stage for a wedding filled with elegance and joy.

Civil ceremony in Certaldo among medieval buildings and traditional music

For their civil ceremony, the couple traveled to the historic center of Certaldo, a medieval town famous as the birthplace of the poet Boccaccio. Their ceremony took place at the majestic Palazzo Pretorio, where the charm of cobblestone streets and ancient architecture created the perfect backdrop. After exchanging vows, the newlyweds and their guests strolled along Certaldo’s main street, stopping for a delightful aperitif at a local café, capturing the lively spirit of this Tuscan town.
