Mediterranean wedding at Castello di Montignano near Rome
When I think back to Meagan and James’ wedding at Castello di Montignano, the first thing that comes to mind is the special atmosphere of this place. The Castello is nestled in the rolling hills of Umbria, surrounded by olive groves and manicured gardens. The historic architecture of the castle, combined with modern elements, offers a variety of motifs – from the old stone walls and light-flooded interiors to the sweeping views of the countryside. For me as a photographer, this is an ideal backdrop for creating authentic and timeless images.
Many weddings at Castello di Montignano actually begin in a relaxed manner by the pool. Guests take the opportunity to relax before the big event, enjoy the sun and get in the mood for the upcoming celebration. With its spacious outdoor area, pool and manicured gardens, the castle offers ideal conditions for a relaxed start to the day. Especially for wedding celebrations lasting several days, it is common for guests to spend time together by the pool in the morning or before the actual ceremony and festive program begin. This relaxed atmosphere is highly appreciated by many couples and guests, as it offers space for conversation, relaxation and first photos in an informal setting. Testimonials also repeatedly emphasize how pleasant and familiar the stay at Castello di Montignano feels – a perfect start to an unforgettable wedding day
The wedding ceremony:
authentic and personal
On the wedding day itself, the day began with the getting ready. The bride got ready in one of the Castello’s stylish rooms, the natural light and tranquil surroundings made for relaxed and authentic shots. The wedding ceremony took place in the courtyard, surrounded by nature and the historic ambience of the castle. The ceremony was personal and emotional, but never overly staged. For me as a photographer, it is always special to capture such genuine moments – from the anticipation of getting dressed to the first congratulations after saying “I do”.
After a champagne reception in the garden, the guests were invited to the pool for dinner. A modern, Mediterranean table setting with high chandeliers and a set four-course menu awaited them there. The atmosphere was relaxed and stylish at the same time. I was particularly impressed by how the team at Castello di Montignano paid attention to every detail – from the service to the decorations. The party that followed began with the cutting of the wedding cake and a champagne shower. For me as a photographer, there were many opportunities to capture the exuberant atmosphere and the joy of the guests.
Castello di Montignano wedding – A weekend full of experiences
What I particularly like about weddings at Castello di Montignano is the opportunity to spend not just one day, but a whole weekend together. Many guests took the opportunity to spend the night in the castle and then relax together by the pool the next day. The surrounding area invites you to go for walks, and the team on site can also organize wine tastings or excursions to the surrounding villages on request. For me as a photographer, this means that I can capture many small, unplanned moments – from a relaxed breakfast to the last dip in the pool.
For me, the Castello di Montignano is one of the most versatile wedding locations in central Italy. The combination of Mediterranean flair, exclusive ambience and professional service makes every wedding here a special experience – not only for the bride and groom, but also for me as a photographer. The pictures taken this weekend reflect the relaxed and stylish atmosphere and show how unique a wedding in this setting can be.
The location offers numerous opportunities for creative shots: Whether in the shade of the old walls, in the light of the setting sun by the pool or in the greenery of the surrounding olive groves – every perspective has its own charm. I particularly appreciate the flexibility of the team on site, who are always open to new ideas and also make spontaneous requests possible.
