Destination Wedding in Sicily: Phoebe and Martin at Commenda di San Calogero
Augusta, Sicily
Nestled in the untamed countryside of Sicily, Commenda di San Calogero offers a magical setting for destination weddings in Italy. In late July, I had the pleasure of capturing Phoebe and Martin’s enchanting outdoor ceremony and reception.
This young and stylish English couple, along with their international guests, brought a unique blend of elegance and relaxation to their celebration.
From the moment I arrived at Commenda di San Calogero, I was captivated by the vibrant colors and textures that define this extraordinary venue. The deep blue furnishings of the historic estate paired beautifully with the vibrant fuchsia bougainvillea, creating a striking visual contrast that perfectly complemented the warm Sicilian landscape. Phoebe and Martin's wedding design, anchored in sage green tones, added a touch of modern sophistication to the rustic charm of the venue. As a destination wedding photographer specializing in Italy, it was thrilling to document how these thoughtful details brought their vision to life.
The ceremony took place outdoors, with the golden Sicilian sun casting a warm glow over the scene. Surrounded by palm trees and lush gardens, the couple exchanged vows in a relaxed yet heartfelt atmosphere that resonated with their love story. The reception, a dinner under the stars, was a true highlight. Long tables adorned with sage-green accents and elegant florals stretched across the courtyard, creating an intimate setting where guests from all over the world shared laughter and stories. As a photographer, capturing the interplay of natural light and candlelit ambiance was a dream come true.
To truly tell Phoebe and Martin’s story, I used a combination of digital and analog photography. This approach allowed me to capture timeless, fine-art images that reflect the couple’s unique style and the authenticity of the day. The softness and texture of film beautifully complemented the vibrant palette of the Commenda, while digital photography ensured every detail was captured with precision.
Sicily, with its captivating landscapes, rich history, and warm Mediterranean hospitality, stands as one of the most sought-after locations for destination weddings in Italy. Venues like the stunning Commenda di San Calogero offer a unique blend of natural beauty and refined luxury, making it the ideal choice for couples seeking an intimate and unforgettable wedding celebration.
