When Nate and Easton chose Il Borro Relais & Châteaux in Tuscany for their three-day wedding celebration, they created something we will return to for many years. Nestled among vineyards, olive groves, and cypress-lined roads between Florence and Arezzo, Il Borro is a historic estate owned by the Ferragamo family — a setting of extraordinary beauty and genuine Tuscan soul. As Italy wedding videographers, filming Nate and Easton here was one of the most moving and joyful experiences we have had in our work.

Il Borro — The Setting

Il Borro is one of Italy’s most extraordinary destination wedding estates — a beautifully restored medieval hamlet sitting among organic vineyards and olive groves in the Valdarno valley, between Florence and Arezzo. The Ferragamo family have owned and carefully restored the estate for decades, creating a world of Michelin-starred dining, luxurious private villas, a spa, and on-site wine production — all within the walls of a genuine historic borgo.

What makes Il Borro so extraordinary to film at is the combination of the Tuscan landscape — the vineyards, the cypress trees, the golden stone of the borgo — and the complete immersion that the multi-day format creates. By day three, guests have completely settled into the beauty of where they are. The footage that results from that collective ease is consistently the most warm, genuine, and deeply human we make anywhere in Italy.

Day One — Welcome Party in the Borgo Courtyard

The weekend began with a lively welcome party set in the charming courtyard of Il Borro’s medieval borgo — one of the most naturally beautiful outdoor event spaces we film in anywhere in Italy. As the sun set over the Tuscan hills, guests from across the United States arrived and gathered in the warm glow of festoon lights strung above them, with fine Italian wine, local food, and the particular atmosphere that only a borgo in Tuscany on a warm evening can produce.

The welcome party footage from Il Borro is always among the warmest we make across a full wedding weekend — guests arriving, embracing, meeting each other for the first time, discovering where they are. There is a joy and an openness to it that sets the tone for everything that follows, and that runs as an undercurrent through the entire film.

Day Two — The Ceremony & Dinner Under the Tuscan Sky

The main wedding day at Il Borro is something we have thought about many times since filming it. The rain stopped just in time for the ceremony — and what followed was genuinely extraordinary. Nate and Easton exchanged their vows outdoors under the open Tuscan sky, surrounded by olive trees and the sound of Florence String Quartet playing in the warm afternoon air. The ceremony was heartfelt, deeply personal, and completely moved everyone present.

The florals by Bird & Bumble were lush, romantic, and entirely in keeping with the organic warmth of the Il Borro landscape — arrangements that felt as though they had grown from the estate itself. The entire production by Kaleydo Entertainment and planning by Matthew Oliver Weddings was flawless — every transition seamless, every detail considered, every moment given the space it deserved.

Dinner was served al fresco as the evening fell across the valley — long tables decorated with elegant florals, candles, and soft golden lighting that made the already extraordinary setting feel genuinely magical. The food by Galateo Ricevimenti was exceptional — a long, unhurried Italian dinner of the kind that Tuscany does better than anywhere else in the world. The White Keys brought the evening to a close with a performance that had every guest dancing until the early hours.

Day Three — Pool Party Farewell

The final day brought everything to a warm, joyful, completely relaxed close — a pool party in the Tuscan sunshine that captured everything we love most about the multi-day destination wedding format. The formality and emotion of the wedding day had given way to something quieter and deeper — guests swimming, laughing, completely present, and entirely themselves.

The day three footage at Il Borro is consistently some of the most naturally warm and genuinely human we make across any three-day wedding weekend. When people have spent two full days together in a place this beautiful, celebrating two people they love, something opens up in them that a single-day event simply cannot produce. That quality is what makes three-day destination wedding films so deeply treasured by the couples who commission them.

Why We Loved Filming This Wedding

Nate and Easton’s wedding at Il Borro was a celebration of love in its most complete and generous form — open, joyful, deeply felt, and completely true to who they are. Their family and friends travelled from the United States to be with them in Tuscany, and the gratitude and joy of that gathering was present in every moment of every day across the full weekend.

Il Borro itself — the golden stone of the borgo, the light on the vineyards in late afternoon, the cypress trees against the Tuscan sky — gave us a visual world of extraordinary richness to work within. And Matthew Oliver Weddings, as always, brought a precision and warmth to the logistics that made our filming team’s job feel effortless.

“Justina and Greg captured our wedding in Tuscany more beautifully than we could have ever imagined. They were with us over the course of three days and were lovely to work with throughout the weekend. We have watched our wedding video with friends and family countless times — the comment we most frequently get is that ‘it looks like a Hollywood movie.’ Those who were there say it took them back to the weekend so vividly. We couldn’t recommend HD Moments more.”
