Destination wedding in Puglia · July, 2026 · Film & Digital photography
On July 15, 2026, Natasha and Marco were married at Masseria Amastuola in Crispiano, in the province of Taranto, Puglia (also spelled Apulia), in Southern Italy. A masseria is a fortified farmhouse estate, and this one sits among olive groves and vineyards. Pale limestone walls, rolling green countryside and warm summer light made the setting for an elegant, deeply personal day. Irina Eller photographed this wedding at Masseria Amastuola, one of Puglia’s most beautiful masseria wedding venues, on film and digital.
The outdoor ceremony faced olive groves, vineyards and dry-stone walls. Guests sat on natural wood cross-back chairs dressed with white ribbons, beside arrangements of green and white hydrangeas and ivory and blush roses. Couples planning a masseria wedding in Puglia often ask about shade and heat in July. At Natasha and Marco’s ceremony, white paper parasols kept guests comfortable, and they also made for beautiful photographs.
Before dinner, the couple poured a cocktail coupe Aperol Spritz tower together in the golden evening light. Dinner was served in the historic courtyard, with round tables in ivory linens, pastel centerpieces, black ribbon accents and café lights overhead. As the sky turned pink, the stone glowed and the bell tower rose above the tables.
The night ended with fireworks over the masseria, a toast, and a kiss under a golden sky, with a tiramisu cake in the foreground.
