Kyle and Sammi, an American couple with a shared love for travel and romance, had always dreamed of saying “I do” in Tuscany. The rolling hills, timeless architecture, and golden light called to them. But with family and friends scattered across the States, they knew not everyone could make the journey. So they created the best of both worlds an intimate celebration in Italy with their closest loved ones, and a second celebration back home to include everyone else.

They envisioned a wedding that was private, meaningful, and completely stress-free. After some searching, they found the perfect private villa, one that offered not only sweeping countryside views, but also took care of every detail, from delicious food to luxurious accommodation.

The towns of Pienza and Montepulciano, with their winding streets and breathtaking views, were at the heart of their vision. For Kyle and Sammi, it was essential to have time to wander, explore, and create portraits that felt like little love letters to Italy itself.

The celebrations began the day before the wedding. We spent the afternoon strolling through the medieval town of Montepulciano, capturing photographs that felt like stills from a classic film. That evening, they welcomed guests with poolside cocktails before gathering for a relaxed dinner of handmade pizzas and pastas, the perfect prelude to their vows.

On the wedding day, the morning unfolded slowly, with anticipation and excitement in the air. Kyle and Sammi shared a first look in the villa gardens before exchanging private vows. It was a deeply emotional moment, with tears, smiles, and the kind of love that radiates through every glance.

We then wandered the charming streets of Pienza for more portraits, basking in the Tuscan light, before returning for their intimate ceremony in the villa’s garden. Guests mingled on the lawn with Aperol spritz in hand, soaking in the scenery and savouring delicious canapés. The night ended with a three-course traditional Italian feast under the stars, laughter, clinking glasses, and the kind of joy that lingers long after the last song fades.

For Kyle and Sammi, it was everything they had hoped for: intimate, joyful, and unforgettable. A wedding without compromise, filled with the people and moments that mattered most.

Kind Words – Sammi + Kyle

“Sheri honestly feels like a best friend who just so happens to be an incredibly talented photographer. She’s prepared, professional, and—most importantly—fun! We eloped in the Tuscany region of Italy and weren’t too familiar with the area, but we never felt stressed thanks to Sheri’s experience. She scouted our wedding villa and the nearby towns of Montepulciano and Pienza before we even arrived. She already knew the best spots and views, making both the pre-wedding day and the wedding itself feel effortless.
We chose Sheri to be our wedding photographer after an amazing engagement session in Sydney. Honestly, we didn’t even need to see the photos to know she was “the one”. Her calming energy instantly puts you at ease. That, paired with her photography skills and timeless editing, made flying her to Italy the easiest decision ever—and yes, she exceeded every expectation.
When we received our sneak peek photos, we were ecstatic! They were absolutely stunning. It was such a joy to relive our rehearsal dinner and wedding day through her lens.
If you’re thinking about booking Sheri—do it. You won’t regret it. You’ll get the most beautiful memories and gain a lovely friend along the way. Thank you, Sheri, for being such a joy to work with. These are memories we’ll treasure forever. Honestly, I feel sorry for people who don’t get the opportunity to meet her and allow her to capture the sweet moments of life!”
