The 5 Most Iconic Italian Wedding Venues That Actually Live Up to the Hype

(And Why They Photograph Like a Dream)

As a destination wedding photographer working throughout Italy — from the Amalfi Coast to Puglia and Tuscany — I’ve seen what truly delivers.
These are the venues that elevate your day and your photos.

1. Villa Astor – Sorrento, Amalfi Coast

  • Luxury wedding venue Villa Astor perched above the sea in Sorrento, Italy

    If you’ve ever dreamed of a wedding perched above the sea with views so cinematic they feel unreal — this is the place. Villa Astor is all about grandeur: marble halls, antique gardens, cliffside ceremony spots, and rooms dripping in Italian history.

  • Luxury wedding reception table at Villa Astor in Sorrento, Italy, with guests in formal attire, marble terrace, and elegant white florals overlooking the sea

    Why I love it:
    The architecture is timeless. The light is golden. Every single photo looks like a frame from a European editorial. It’s opulence without feeling cold.

2. Masseria Moroseta – Puglia

  • Bride and groom walking down stairs at Masseria Moroseta, with elegant white architecture, chandeliers, and pastel floral tablescape for a luxury wedding in Puglia, Italy

    Minimal and modern, yet deeply rooted in southern Italy’s rural charm. Masseria Moroseta is for couples who want that effortless, design-forward feeling. Whitewashed walls. Olive groves. Earthy elegance.

  • Elegant outdoor wedding ceremony setup at Masseria Moroseta in Puglia, Italy with wooden chairs, vintage lounge seating, and soft blue and white floral arrangements by the pool

    Why I love it:
    There’s space to breathe here. The setting becomes a quiet backdrop that lets your story shine — and film photography loves this kind of natural texture and soft light.

3.Villa Corsini – Tuscany

  • A Florentine villa that gives you the full Tuscan experience — rolling hills, sculptural gardens, frescoed ceilings, and those iconic staircases you’ve seen in Italian wedding editorials. A favorite for fashion-forward weddings with a timeless soul.

  • Why I love it:
    It balances grandeur with warmth. Every corner is layered with detail and light. It’s editorial, but still feels romantic and lived-in.

4. Monteverdi Tuscany – Val d’Orcia

  • Bride and groom walking through lush gardens at Monteverdi Tuscany, a luxury destination wedding venue in Val d'Orcia, Italy

    Why I love it:
    It’s quiet. Intentional. Magical. The kind of venue where your ceremony is met with silence — except for the wind, the birds, and the shutters fluttering in the breeze.

  • Ceremony setup with rattan chairs and wild garden florals at Monteverdi Tuscany, a luxury wedding venue in Val d'Orcia, Italy

    Why I love it:
    It balances grandeur with warmth. Every corner is layered with detail and light. It’s editorial, but still feels romantic and lived-in.

I’ve never photographed here… yet. But Tonnara di Scopello has been on my vision board for years. Dramatic cliffs. Worn stone. That unmistakable Sicilian glow. If this is your venue, I’d love to create something unforgettable together.

A historic tuna fishery turned wildly romantic coastal venue, tucked into the cliffs of northwest Sicily. It’s raw, cinematic, and drenched in southern Italian sun.

Why it’s on my list:
The textures. The stone. The way the ocean light hits the buildings at golden hour. It’s the kind of place you build your wedding weekend around.
