Tuscany Wedding Photographer – Romantic & Authentic Moments in Italy
Natural light, real emotion, and timeless photos across Chianti, Val d’Orcia, and Florence.
✨ About Me & My Approach
Ciao! I’m Pasquale Mestizia, a Tuscany wedding photographer based between Florence and Pistoia.
I specialize in capturing romantic, honest, and cinematic moments — the kind of photos that still make you feel something years later.
My style blends documentary storytelling with gentle direction, always guided by light and emotion.
I believe the best photos happen when you feel comfortable, natural, and completely yourself.
💬 “It felt so easy — like spending a day with a friend who happened to have a camera.”
🌄 Why Couples Choose Tuscany
There’s a reason Tuscany is one of the most loved wedding destinations in the world.
Here, light and landscape create pure magic — rolling hills, olive trees, vineyards, cypress-lined roads, and golden sunsets that seem painted just for you.
Tuscany offers:
- Endless romantic backdrops for portraits
- Soft, cinematic light (especially at sunset)
- Outdoor receptions with warm evening air
- A relaxed, authentic Italian atmosphere
🕊️ Best months: May–June & September–October (perfect light, pleasant weather, fewer crowds)
📸 My Photography Style
I focus on natural emotions, soft tones, and real connections.
No awkward posing — just subtle guidance so you can enjoy every moment.
Expect a mix of:
- Candid storytelling: laughter, tears, and genuine reactions
- Editorial portraits: elegant, clean compositions
- Light-driven art direction: planned around the perfect glow
💡 Every wedding has its own rhythm — I adapt the flow so you stay fully present while I capture everything beautifully.
🏰 Where I Work in Tuscany
From the vineyards of Chianti to the cobblestones of Florence — every corner has its charm.
Favorite locations:
- Chianti: vineyards, wine estates, warm colors, outdoor dinners
- Val d’Orcia: iconic hills and cinematic sunsets
- Florence: artistic architecture and sunrise intimacy
- Siena & Pienza: stone streets and timeless quietness
- Cortona / Arezzo: rustic countryside and golden views
Each of these places photographs beautifully — I can help you choose the perfect one for your love story.
