Elisa & Laurens’ Italian Countryside Celebration at Le Stonghe Estate
In August 2025, Elisa and Laurens brought romance to life at Le Stonghe Estate, a 500-year-old palazzo set in the sun-drenched hills of Italy’s Marche region. With panoramic views stretching to the Adriatic Sea, their wedding was an ode to effortless elegance, intimate luxury, and the quiet drama of the Italian countryside.
Real Wedding at Le Stonghe Estate
Le Stonghe Estate is a tale of two homes: the historic palazzo, boasting six stylish apartments for two to six guests, and the country house, with four generously proportioned suites. Across 14 hectares of private grounds, the estate offers sweeping vistas, absolute privacy, and the perfect canvas for a weekend of celebration shaped entirely by the couple.
Elisa & Laurens’ ceremony was all about the authentic charm of Marche, soft, natural light illuminating the rolling hills, a relaxed vibe that let love and laughter take center stage, and the serene countryside providing a flawless backdrop. Dinner followed in the romantic courtyard, where tables were dressed with lemons, lush greenery, and elegant ribboned stationery, a thoughtful nod to the region’s character, while the setting sun painted everything in warm, golden tones.
Photographer Audrey Naessens captured the day with editorial grace, blending film and digital photography to create images that feel intimate, alive, and editorially striking. Every glance, laugh, and detail is rendered with a sense of presence and personality, reflecting the unique energy Elisa and Laurens brought to the estate.
For couples seeking a destination wedding that is intimate, stylish, and deeply rooted in Italian character, Le Stonghe Estate offers an authentic and inspiring setting. Here, countryside beauty meets thoughtful design, creating a celebration that lingers long after the last toast. View more information about Le Stonghe here.
