An elopement at a castle is not about extravagance. It’s about privacy.
Ylva and Harvaard understood this completely. They chose the historic Castello di Banfi, a fortress overlooking the world-famous Brunello vineyards of Tuscany, to build a world just for themselves. Their goal was a day of quiet, refined romance where their connection was the main event. No distractions. No audience. Just the two of them, the ancient stone, and the golden Tuscan light.
The Planner’s Perspective: A Day Built for Two
True luxury is having a space to breathe. Our on-the-ground knowledge of Banfi allowed us to secure the castle’s private library for Harvaard to prepare, a quiet, historic room away from any other guests. While Ylva was with her stylists, he had the calm to put the final touches on his vows, a moment of profound, personal reflection that set the tone for the entire day.
This commitment to their private experience continued long after the ceremony. We arranged for a single table to be set for them in the Enoteca’s courtyard. As dusk settled, they dined al fresco, surrounded by the faint scent of roses and the history of the castle, their conversation echoing softly in the otherwise silent space. It was a dinner party for two. This is how we create a personal story.
Heirloom Images in the Golden Hour
We believe that the photographs are the heirloom you will cherish forever. This belief guides every decision we make. A photo shoot is not just something to do; it is an experience we build into the timeline of your day. For Ylva and Harvaard, that meant planning for the impressive Tuscan sunset.
As the golden hour arrived, the light softened, casting a warm glow over the landscape. This is the moment we had been waiting for. The resulting images are not just pictures. They are a collection of authentic moments that capture the feeling of that evening, creating the beautiful, artful memories they will look back on for years to come.
