Florence is a city where art, history, and golden Tuscan light come together in a way that is completely its own — and Valentina and Kyle’s wedding at Villa Gamberaia captured all of that beautifully. As Florence wedding videographers, this is exactly the kind of celebration we live to film — an evening that felt modern yet deeply romantic, shaped by genuine emotion, movement, and the extraordinary atmosphere of this extraordinary city.

Villa Gamberaia — The Setting
Villa Gamberaia is one of the most celebrated historic villas in the hills above Florence — a Renaissance estate with extraordinary formal gardens, stone terraces, and panoramic views across the city and the Arno valley below. It sits in Settignano, just a few kilometres east of the city centre, elevated above Florence in the quiet Tuscan hills.

What makes Villa Gamberaia so extraordinary to film at is the combination of the formal Renaissance gardens — the water parterre, the cypress allée, the stone balustrades — and the panoramic views across Florence below. In the late afternoon light, as the sun drops behind the city and the golden hour fills the gardens, the footage we make here is consistently among the most beautiful we produce anywhere in Italy.
The Bride — Style and Detail
Valentina wore two gowns across the day — a look by Sarah Seven and a second by Monvieve. Both designers are known for their clean lines, refined silhouettes, and a modern femininity that feels completely at ease in a historic setting. The combination of contemporary design and Florentine Renaissance architecture created a visual tension that is deeply beautiful on film.

Kyle completed the aesthetic in a classic black tuxedo — timeless, confident, and effortlessly elegant. Together, their style felt editorial yet entirely authentic — perfectly aligned with the tone and atmosphere of the day.
Hair and makeup by Porfirio and Nadine Matar was flawless and completely natural — the kind of work that films beautifully in the particular quality of Florentine evening light.
The Celebration — An Enchanting Florentine Evening
Valentina and Kyle moved through their wedding day with an ease and joy that made every moment feel genuinely spontaneous. From relaxed preparations in the villa to portraits in the formal gardens as the light turned golden, and from the ceremony to the dancing that followed — the day unfolded with the natural rhythm of a celebration between two people who were completely ready to be married.

The florals by Tuscany Flowers were romantic and entirely in keeping with the garden setting — arrangements that enhanced the formal beauty of Villa Gamberaia’s water parterre without ever competing with it. The planning and production by Matthew Oliver Weddings and Kaleydo gave the day a seamless quality — every transition smooth, every moment given the space it deserved.
The food by Galateo Ricevimenti was exceptional — a long, unhurried Italian dinner that reflected the very best of Florentine hospitality. Juan Viera on saxophone and DJ Ivan Elena kept the energy alive from dinner through to the dance floor, creating an evening of nonstop dancing and pure Florentine joy that we will not forget.
Photography by Pablo Laguia — one of the most sensitive and artistically gifted wedding photographers we have worked alongside in Italy — captured the day with the same quiet, emotion-led approach that defines his work.

The villa gardens at golden hour, the portraits against the stone balustrades, the dancing under the Tuscan stars — these are the sequences that define this film, and that we are genuinely proud of.
“An enchanting Florentine evening — nonstop dancing, extraordinary beauty, and a couple completely present in every moment of their day. A film we return to with great affection.”
