Continuing with Brandon and Angela’s Florence, Italy destination wedding ….

After taking wedding portraits throughout Florence, catching a cab to the hotel for the wedding, and taking more portrait on the hotel grounds, all we had to do was wait.

The ceremony took place in the front garden of the Hotel Villa la Vedetta. And, by ‘front garden‘ I mean huge yard+trees+fountain+loveliness.

Villa la Vedetta is a 5 star hotel on one of the hills overlooking Florence.

From their website:

In the charming atmosphere of Florence, surrounded by the green hills looking upon the banks of the River Arno, Villa La Vedetta is the ideal location to organize your wedding in Tuscany. Formerly an aristocratic villa, this Neo-Renaissance romantic property is today a refined 5 star luxury hotel, located on a hill a few steps away from Piazzale Michelangelo. The large panoramic patio, enjoying a stunning view over the city of Florence, is the perfect scenery to set up wedding parties as well as private banquets and receptions.

The hotel staff really took great care of us. I would 100% recommend this location to any other couple planning a Florence wedding (as long as I can come along).

Angela was given use of a bride’s room to touch up her makeup, tie the rings on the pillow and make other final preparations before going on to marry her love (or ‘Husbear’ as I have heard her call him).

See images below and please leave comments telling Angela and Brandon how gorgeous their wedding was!

Ang and Brandon pointedly made their family part of their ceremony. They had spent the last couple months hunting up claddagh pins on ebay, etsy and other sources. I won’t share all the details here, but Angela and Brandon formerly thanked their respective new in-laws for welcoming them into the families.

It was very sweet.

(Angela told me she tried so hard to hold back her big cheesy grin all throughout the portraits, but walking back up the aisle after getting married she just couldn’t hold it back!)

Stay tuned for the final chapter – reception!
