Dreamy neutral Tuscan wedding with a colorful (explosive!) surprise

colorful fireworks

In the heart of Tuscany, Stephanie and Taro's luxurious celebration at Como Castello Del Nero was a magical day. With the couple flying in from New York, and with guests coming from all over the world, it was an Italian celebration seeped in elegance and fun. This historic castle, nestled in the heart of Tuscany, provided a breathtaking backdrop for their elegant wedding. The event was meticulously planned by Dama Weddings, a renowned Italian wedding planning company known for curating bespoke and elegant weddings across Italy. The couple's vision was brought to life with the expertise of top-tier worldwide vendors, and fun features such as multiple dress changes, a vintage car, a firework show and smoke cannons, all captured by Sophie Mort Photography.

The couple wrote about their photographer Sophie Mort Photography: "Sophie's photos are sophisticated, romantic, soft and emotional. Working with her was one of the most enjoyable experiences throughout our wedding. She was so sensitive to emotions, knew exactly where to go and guided us along very smoothly. Most importantly, she was so responsive, helpful, and supportive throughout the destination wedding planning process. Planning a destination wedding is a very stressful experience, and having a reliable photographer like Sophie was such a relieving decision!
