Villa Cora Wedding Photographer

Villa Cora is one of the most iconic wedding venues in Florence, set just above the Boboli Gardens and surrounded by a historic park. This aristocratic Belle Époque villa combines history, elegance and breathtaking views over the city. I am a destination wedding photographer based in Tuscany with extensive experience photographing weddings at Villa Cora. I know its light, its spaces and its rhythm across the full day, from morning preparations in the suites to golden hour portraits in the gardens overlooking Florence.
