Countryside Vineyard Couple Wedding Portrait | two young lovers meeting in secret to elope

Looking as if they are two young lovers meeting in secret to elope, the bride and groom share a moment with one another in the privacy of a Tuscan vineyard.

When this couple dreamed of their wedding, it always took place in Italy. They knew they wanted to recite their vows to one another in the sun-drenched vineyards of Tuscany, at a venue where beauty, flavor and culture collided. Knowing how they wanted their day to play out, this California couple chose to wait patiently for three long years — all while dealing with the frustration and agony of a lingering pandemic — in order to make their dreams come true.
