An absolutely stunning Summer Masseria Don Luigi wedding, with Liz + Nige
The most epic wedding at Masseria Don Luigi, with Liz + Nige.
Last summer we had the joy of photographing a wedding in Puglia, Italy – a celebration that was as stylish, heartfelt, and joy-filled as the region itself. Golden light streaming through centuries-old olive trees, Negronis flowing, music pulsing through the warm night air, and a dancefloor that never seemed to rest.
Liz had three incredible looks throughout the day, each one reflecting a different side of her personality – from timeless sophistication for the ceremony, to sleek modernity for dinner, and finally, something bold and playful to light up the dancefloor.
The ceremony was held on one side of the venue amongst the olive groves, with vows exchanged under the shade of the trees. Dinner followed on the opposite side – long tables dressed with flowers and candlelight, laughter echoing as friends and family shared stories. The speeches were a highlight: moving, funny, and beautifully heartfelt. If you’re dreaming of a Masseria Don Luigi Wedding, this was everything you could hope for: authentic Italian charm, warmth, and unforgettable scenery.
As night fell, the energy shifted. Outside, under the stars, a DJ took to the decks and the dancefloor ignited. Three drag queens joined the party, bringing glamour, humour, and unforgettable performances. Guests sipped Negronis while some even sat for spontaneous ink – our first wedding with a tattoo artist on hand to make the memories permanent. And yes, I did get a new tattoo that night.
The evening ended with fireworks bursting above the olive trees. The cake was cut outside, beneath festoon lights draped across a single ancient tree – the perfect backdrop for a moment of pure romance. A Masseria Don Luigi Wedding really is the kind of celebration that blends timeless beauty with creative, modern energy.
