Eloping is a unique experience like no other. There’s nothing more romantic than just the two of you committing to each other in the most meaningful way. Whether you choose a day all to yourselves or with your loved ones included, your dream elopement experience is entirely up to you and your partner. While they only shared their special day with their parents, Jack and Alexandria felt no shortage of love and joy at their elegant and intimate Borgo Santo Pietro elopement.
The Italian estate was the ideal setting for their small celebration with stunning views of the Tuscan countryside, a gorgeous botanical garden amidst the fountains, and luxurious architecture.
From the breathtakingly beautiful portraits taken at the historic San Galgano Abbey to the sweetest candid moments in between, these beautiful images captured by Junebug member Spazio46 will surely bring you some serious elopement inspiration.

Including Family In Their Borgo Santo Pietro Elopement
It’s easy to make your wedding about other people, but for ours, we made it about us. We were originally going to elope just the two of us, but we did end up inviting our parents to share the special day with us. It was nice having a small ceremony in a beautiful location with close family.
Memorable Moments In Tuscany
The most memorable part of the day was, of course, the ceremony. We were married in a courtyard on the grounds of Borgo Santo Pietro. A close second was visiting the Abbey of San Galgano with our photographers.
Their Wedding Planner Was Their Greatest Asset
If you are considering a destination wedding, hire a wedding planner! Our wedding planner Janina of Weddings Italy did an amazing job providing a list of locations, photographers, hair and makeup artists and coordinating the administrative process.
Working With Junebug Member Spazio46
Our photographers, Spazio46, were amazing. We were drawn to their portfolio for their style and creative vision. They are a couple from Naples who were an absolute joy to work with, and they completely captured all of the moments that we will treasure forever.
