The pre wedding photoshoot in the heart of Tuscany

Our story with Kaylee and Sean began two years before their wedding, during their engagement photoshoot in the breathtaking Tuscan countryside. We met in Montalcino and spent some quality time capturing their love in its purest form. From riding a Harley Davidson through the scenic country roads to running down the rolling hills around Cipressi di San Quirico d’Orcia. Every moment was filled with good energy, adventure, and raw emotion – setting the tone for the incredible journey that led to their wedding day at Villa Cetinale.
