This beautifully restored former monastery, now a tranquil retreat, provided the perfect backdrop for a stunning elopement that embodied the essence of love and simplicity. With its lush gardens, the scent of lavender and wildflowers in the air, and the timeless charm of its stone walls, the venue offered a setting that felt both intimate and grand.

The day was carefully planned by The Elopement Collective, whose expert attention to detail ensured that every moment flowed seamlessly. Brittany, the mastermind behind the elopement’s elegant coordination, worked with a talented team to create a day that was as effortlessly beautiful as the surrounding countryside. Josh Withers, a celebrant from Tasmania, brought warmth and authenticity to the ceremony, while James from House of Love captured the occasion with his signature blend of artistry and film photography, giving the memories a timeless quality.

In the serene gardens of Vocabolo Moscatelli, surrounded by blooming flowers and ancient stone walls, a Brisbane couple exchanged vows. Shelby, a hairdresser, and Jack, an analyst, chose to celebrate their love in a quiet and personal way, making this moment their own. Shelby wore an elegant gown by Kate Willa, its flowing, understated design perfectly complementing the natural beauty of the day. Jack, in a classic black tuxedo, stood by her side, the two of them a picture of timeless elegance in the heart of Tuscany. Their portraits, taken in the garden’s peaceful nooks, captured the quiet joy they shared as they began this new chapter together.

The florals, arranged by Le Francesche from nearby Umbria, added soft touches of local blooms, enhancing the natural beauty of the venue. In one particularly striking moment, Shelby and Jack stood hand in hand by the venue’s serene pool, their reflections mirrored in the still water—a symbol of the unity and commitment they celebrated that day.
