Florence Wedding Photographer and Venues
As a wedding photographer based in Tuscany, Italy, I often cover destination weddings at Florence's top venues. I love the city of Florence, and for destination weddings in Italy, it is one of the top choices for many a bride and groom.
Tuscany's capital city has a lot of appeal for weddings. With a direct flight to its international airport and fast trains from Rome or Milan, it is easy to get to.
The historical center offers a mix of hip restaurants and bars, as well as famous museums and inspirational art and architecture.

Tips for choosing the perfect venue
Decide what type of wedding ceremony you want as this will influence the venue selection. If you plan a civil marriage, then think about how long it will take to get to the town hall at Palazzo Vecchio. For a religious ceremony, find your church in Florence and then think about how you will move the guests to and from the venues. If you prefer a symbolic wedding. Then you will want a lovely outdoor space or terrace to celebrate your blessing ceremony.
When visiting Florence, talk to a wedding planner or have a photoshoot with a photographer. You can ask them their opinions and get some feedback on your selected venues.
Remember to check if the venue offers the possibility to eat outside as well as inside if it rains. Finally, see if there are any music restrictions for a late-night party.
