Beth & Joe’s Romantic Celebration at Masseria Don Luigi, Puglia

Some weddings stay with you long after the last glass of wine has been poured and Beth & Joe’s celebration at the breathtaking Masseria Don Luigi in the heart of Puglia is one I’ll never forget.

Set against the sun soaked Italian countryside, this was the kind of destination wedding that dreams are made of. Beth and Joe had always envisioned saying their vows somewhere meaningful and full of soul, and choosing the romantic olive groves and golden light of southern Italy felt like the perfect fit. With their closest family and friends by their side, they embraced everything a destination wedding has to offer: connection, beauty, and the joy of being fully present in one extraordinary place.

From the very beginning, their day was overflowing with emotion, a celebration filled with love, happy tears, and the kind of laughter that echoes long into the night. You could feel the warmth in every glance, every touch, every shared moment. There was something so effortless about their connection, the way they looked at one another, and the joy that radiated through the entire celebration.

The venue itself, Masseria Don Luigi, was nothing short of spectacular. With its rustic whitewashed walls, ancient olive trees, and endless Italian charm, it offered the perfect canvas for a wedding that felt both relaxed and incredibly refined. Every detail was styled with care and elegance, and none of it would have come together so seamlessly without the impeccable planning and creative direction of Alicia Marie Weddings. Alicia’s ability to bring Beth & Joe’s vision to life while keeping the day flowing effortlessly was a joy to witness and capture.

One of the most touching moments came during the ceremony, as the golden light began to shift and soft music floated through the air. The emotion was tangible not just from the couple, but from every guest who had travelled the to witness this love story unfold. It’s in those moments, those quiet pockets of meaning, that I feel so grateful to do what I do.

And then… the party. What. A. Party.
As the sun dipped below the horizon and the fairy lights flickered to life, the courtyard transformed. Incredible food, flowing wine, joyful speeches, and a dance floor that came alive under the stars—it was pure magic. Every guest threw themselves into the celebration with so much heart, and Beth & Joe were right at the centre of it all, glowing with happiness.

For me, being invited into moments like this—into such personal, beautiful celebrations—is never something I take lightly. It’s a true privilege to document the stories, emotions, and fleeting moments that will be remembered for a lifetime.

Beth & Joe, thank you for trusting me to capture your incredible day. Your love, your energy, and your kindness made it unforgettable.
