A Fairytale Wedding at Castello di Montignano: Evan & Alex’s Elegant Celebration in Umbria
In the rolling green hills of Umbria lies Castello di Montignano, a beautifully restored medieval castle where elegance meets rustic Italian charm. With breathtaking views of the countryside and lush gardens, this venue is perfect for couples looking for an exclusive and magical setting for their destination wedding.
Evan and Alex, a lovely Irish couple, chose this stunning castle to celebrate their love. Their dream was a wedding film that blended spontaneous moments with editorial elegance—and that’s exactly what we created together.
Getting Ready in the Castle Suites
Both Evan and Alex got ready in separate suites within the castle. Evan prepared with his groomsmen, surrounded by laughter, toasts, and a few glasses of cold beer. Meanwhile, Alex spent the morning with her bridesmaids, sipping Prosecco and enjoying the joyful buzz of the day.
We captured both the candid laughter and the emotional moments—those little gestures that speak volumes and add heart to the story.
A Garden Ceremony with a View
Their symbolic ceremony took place in the lush garden in front of the castle, with Montignano standing tall behind them and the Umbrian hills beyond. The setup was simple and elegant—greenery, light, and love.
As they exchanged vows and rings, the atmosphere was filled with sincerity and calm. The declaration of “husband and wife” felt deeply personal, framed by natural beauty and the smiles of loved ones.
Aperitivo and a Quick, Magical Couple Session
After the ceremony, guests enjoyed an aperitivo in the garden while Evan and Alex took 20 minutes for a lightning-fast couple session.
We filmed soft editorial-style poses and natural interactions in the castle gardens and just outside the walls, where rolling Umbrian hills meet the blue sky. It was relaxed, effortless, and cinematic—just how they wanted it.
Evening Celebration: Toasts, Fireworks, and Dancing
The evening unfolded with heartfelt speeches, a celebratory toast, and—surprise—fireworks that lit up the night sky. It was the perfect blend of elegance and excitement.
Evan and Alex shared their first dance under twinkling lights, followed by a fun and lively party that kept everyone smiling and dancing into the night. Every moment was full of warmth, laughter, and the unmistakable charm of an Italian celebration.
Why Castello di Montignano is a Dream Destination Wedding Venue
Set in the heart of Umbria, Castello di Montignano offers not only stunning scenery but also authentic medieval architecture, luxurious rooms for guests, and intimate garden spaces for ceremonies and parties.
It’s a place where past and present meet—and where stories like Evan and Alex’s become timeless memories.
Final Thoughts: A Wedding Film That Captures Soul and Style
This wedding wasn’t just about beauty—it was about heart, family, and fun. As a destination wedding videographer, my mission is always to tell each couple’s story in a way that reflects who they are.
With the charm of Montignano and the love between Evan and Alex, this wedding became one of the most moving and joyful films I’ve ever created.
