Leanne + Devin’s unbelievable wedding on the Tuscan - Umbrian border

Photography: Marielle Catherine Albers | Second Photographer: Wilma Towell Photography

Leanne and Devin’s stunning Umbrian wedding at the gorgeous Borgo Bastia Creti is sure to leave you wanting more. The wedding celebrations were spread over a week, with lots of personal touches and unique, creative ideas - we agree with the bride and groom, the personalised neon sign is an epic keepsake and total love for the1958 Mercedes 190 SL! Let’s not forget the portable pizza oven and drinks bar, which set the stage for the pre wedding meet and greet!

Best money spent

“The vintage car hire & neon sign. We’re so excited to put the neon sign up in our new home, alongside the framed photos of our shoot with the vintage car - they are some of our favourites.” Leanne - bride

Favourite part of the day

“Walking into our reception as a married couple, and seeing all of our favourite people in one place, cheering us on and celebrating our union. It’s a moment we’ll never forget.” Leanne - bride

Personal touch

“A moment we wish we could have seen is all of our guests reading their personal messages from us as they walked into the reception. We put the messages in hanging glass tea light holders, and in the message was their table number to help guide them to their seat. It went down a treat and we can’t wait to watch some reactions in our wedding video.” Leanne - bride
