It’s not often you get whisked away to Tuscany on a Wednesday, but this gorgeous affair from AMBphoto allows your imagination to do just that. Filled with fluffy florals and classic style, this three-day affair no doubt left guests in complete awe. The full gallery of lovely will no doubt leave you in awe as well, so don’t forget to float on over.




From Anne-Marie Bouchard of AMBphoto…Among the rolling hills just outside of Florence, Italy, Laura and Derek choose to repeat their wedding vows on their one year anniversary, this time surrounded by friends and family. These two met the traditional way, on match.com! It took all of two dates before they were living together, and a blissful seven weeks later, they showed up on her unsuspecting father’s doorstep for a pseudo-elopement surprise wedding. However, over the year they realized how much they wanted to celebrate their love with the ones they loved most and invited their closest friends and family to Tuscany.
The celebration was so incredibly beautiful full of joy and love and deliriously wonderful smelling peonies that created a soft, warm and inviting tone for this understated, elegant celebration. The bride and groom’s impeccable taste and attention to detail made it even more cozy. From the homemade cookies brought all the way from Canada to the sweet Inniskillin icewine gifted by the brides father – no guest left thirsty or hungry during their three-day-stay at the Villa Mangiacane.

Wow, wow, wow! This made my day!! Ultra-fabulous! Love the photos of bride/groom on chaise, bride on bed, and with gorgeous mountain-valley as backdrop! Is that a 5-foot wide feast table? Contemplating one and wondering how this works out for guests/conversation.
I love the bridesmaids dresses - who designed them?
Hi there! The bridesmaids dresses are from BCBG.
I loooooove these photos. What an amazing wedding. I am so excited to go through all the other photos in the gallery. Anne-Marie you have captured the magic of the wedding in every shot.
This is gorgeous!
Hi Ashley - thanks for your question. The table wasn't quite five feet wide but was perfect for conversation plus beautiful for photos :)
Anne-Marie is a gem of a photographer and a complete doll! This wedding is captured beautifully.
Wow! That dress...everything...is fabulous!
I am so lucky and thankful to have had Anne-Marie take our pictures! Her skill and talent obviously speak for themselves, but what the pictures don't communicate is how amazing her photography "bedside manner" is...she made us all feel so comfortable and at ease. I can't say enough good things about what a wonderful friend, person, and photographer she is. Thanks again Anne! xoxo
the bouquets are so lovely and full! (and love the picture of the groomsman/groom with the bouquet - nice contrast)
I totally agree with Laura. Anne-Marie is so incredibly amazing to work with. She shot photos of my 3 kids in a field of daffodils last spring and the results were more than I could have hoped for. She had an instant rapport with my kids and was able to put them at ease and capture their little personalities perfectly. I am so grateful to have that precious moment in time captured by her lens forever.
Thanks Anne-Marie!!!!!
My DREAM wedding! Beautifully done Anne-Marie!
It's amazes me to watch first hand how Anne-Marie captures art and atmosphere in the moments people want to remember most. Truly a unique talent.
So pretty! I love her dress and the bridesmaid dresses and the peonies and I could keep going!
What a gorgeous and romantic wedding! Such a beautiful location, I love the black bridesmaids gowns, and the flowers are to die for!
Oh my goodness! I am blown away by the elegance and grace of this wedding! The dress is lovely, the venue magical, and the photographs stunning! It doesn't hurt that peonies are my favorites, either! Thanks for sharing!
So cute. I met my other half on match.com and took a similar path. Gotta love technology. Stunning photography!
