A Cinematic Destination Wedding: Gabrielle and Stephen at Borgo Stomennano
Gabrielle and Stephen chose a location that embodies the Tuscan dream: Borgo Stomennano, a stunning Sienese villa overlooking the iconic hilltop town of Monteriggioni. Their wedding was an affair of luxury and refinement, flawlessly orchestrated by wedding planner Marilena Zambelli.
Getting Ready and the First Look Moments
The preparations took place in the elegant rooms of the borgo. Gabrielle, made even more radiant by the skillful hands of the Beauty Livery team, wore a breathtaking Monique Lhuillier Bride gown, while Stephen looked dashing in a sophisticated Victor Albots suit. Before the ceremony, the couple added an intimate layer to their day: Gabrielle shared an emotional first look with her father, followed by a private moment with Stephen to exchange heartfelt, personal vows.
Ceremony and Artistic Entertainment
The wedding ceremony was held in Borgo Stomennano's picturesque garden, featuring a beautifully adorned aisle and a floral arch designed by Winsome Floral. The talented team led by photographer Liz Anolina captured every precious moment. The cocktail hour was a feast for the senses: guests were entertained by the enchanting music of Gliss and Music and the live painting artistry of Sabrina Stefanini. The elegant seating chart was a masterpiece created by Laura Mazzetti Wedding Letters.
Dinner Under the Stars and Live Serenade
Following a scenic photoshoot—including moments with a vintage car provided by Slow Hills—the newlyweds and their guests proceeded to the borgo's magical woodland setting for dinner. A beautifully decorated table, adorned with candelabras and flowers, set the scene for an unforgettable evening. The exquisite meal was curated by the team at Galateo Ricevimenti, while tenor Stefano Fini serenaded the couple and their guests with live Italian classical music.
The Afterparty: Dancing the Night Away
The night culminated with joyous dancing and laughter. Stefano Nannicini DJ and saxophonist Stefano Brescianini created the perfect atmosphere for an unstoppable celebration.
This was a wedding filled with love, beauty, and memories that Vertigo Tuscany Wedding Films is honored to have documented in a film celebrating this perfect union.
