Sophia & Trent’s Destination Wedding in Tuscany

Rolling hills, a traditional castle and an incredibly stylish bride and groom – Brooke Adams captured Sophia and Trent’s charming destination nuptials as the pair channeled la dolce vita under the Tuscan sun.

Having previously spent some time in Italy during a Euro trip, this Brisbane pair knew there was no place they’d rather tie the knot than the Tuscan village of Siena. Over 40 of their family and friends made the journey from Australia and Sophia made the most of their international guests, “I was a little paranoid that I wouldn’t be able to find everything I wanted for the ceremony and reception in the small town of Siena,” she laughs, “so I had all the guests bring over a few items each in their luggage which became a bit of a joke throughout the trip!”

These sweethearts swapped vows in a shaded clearing between two ancient trees before shifting to the courtyard where tables were arranged around a gorgeous old well. “I wanted the reception to be fun and full of food, laughter, wine and music!” Sophia shares.

A five course menu (catering courtesy of Self Party Group) ensured no one went hungry and the pair couldn’t have been happier with the spread. “There’s this amazing catering company in Siena who make traditional Tuscan food, iconic to the area. They cooked a wild boar for main course and then hand carved it at the guests requests.” Buon appetito!

Trent rocked a pair of bone Hugo Boss trousers and a custom made navy shirt from The Cloakroom, ideal groom’s attire for a European summer.

Channeling a Dolce & Gabbana Spring 2015 vibe, Sophia had her dress custom made by Sydney’s Yulia Mc Couture, the result - a stunning French lace, off-the-shoulder number, equal parts sweet and sensual. Paired with vintage embellished earrings and a crown imported from Prague, this babin’ bride was every bit the Italian siren.

Wanting to keep things as authentic as possible, Sophia sourced antiques from a local vintage store, including ornaments for the table and a chandelier, while the flowers were courtesy of a local flower nursery in Siena.

Brooke Adams certainly knows her way around a camera and her presence at Sophia and Trent’s Siena wedding was much appreciated. “After seeing Brooke's AMAZING work, and meeting with her I knew she was the right photographer to capture our special day.” Says Sophia.
