A cypress avenue,
and a gelato cart
at midnight

Villa La Fonte · Florence, Tuscany

A small June wedding in the hills above Florence: an ochre villa at the end of a cypress avenue, black tie, apricot flowers, and children running the gravel until somebody brought a gelato cart out at eleven.

The villa, from above
The salon
The morning
The bracelet
With the bouquet
Down the stairs
The vows
The ring
The train, on the gravel
Against the ochre wall

The avenue

The garden, and the valley

What a small
guest list
buys you

Fewer people is not a smaller wedding, it is a different one. Nobody is queueing, nothing has to be announced twice, and the afternoon has gaps in it — which is where most of the photographs on this page were made.

It also means the villa stays a house rather than becoming a venue. Doors are open, children go where they like, and the dinner table is one table.
