An explosive couple for a wedding at the ancient Castello di Celsa

Nestled in the breathtaking countryside of Siena, Castello di Celsa stands as a perfectly preserved testament to Italian history. For Geoff and Kaylee, an American couple with a passion for dance, this ancient fortress was the ultimate stage for their romantic union.

Preparations, first look, and exchange of the postcards.

The day began in the castle’s most prestigious quarters. While the groom prepared in the elegant adjacent buildings, Kaylee had the privilege of getting ready within the historic halls of the castle, surrounded by antique furnishings and a timeless atmosphere. Their journey together started with a romantic first look beneath the castle walls, a quiet moment where they exchanged heartfelt letters written on postcards—a touching tribute to their journey.

A photoshoot focused on dance and a dinner under the stars.

The intimate ceremony, officiated by a close relative, took place in the manicured Italian gardens, followed by a vibrant shooting session. As talented dancers, Geoff and Kaylee transformed the gardens into a ballroom, chasing, embracing, and dancing among the hedges. This energy culminated in a spectacular first dance on stage in front of all their guests.

A night of dancing and a tasty surprise.

The night ended with a quintessential Italian touch: a vintage gelato cart, where the newlyweds had fun serving authentic Italian gelato to their friends. As a Siena wedding videographer, capturing such a blend of noble heritage and playful joy was truly special.
