EMILY AND NIELS
PUGLIA, ITALY
Emily and Niels’ Masseria Salamina wedding was everything you could wish for in Puglia, sun-drenched, elegant, and overflowing with joy from start to finish.
As a Puglia wedding photographer, this was the kind of celebration that reminds you why couples fall in love with Italy. Nestled among ancient olive groves and bathed in southern light, Masseria Salamina offered the perfect mix of rustic charm and understated luxury. Every corner, from the courtyard ceremony to the candlelit dinner under the stars — felt steeped in beauty.
The day began in the Masseria’s serene bridal suite, where Emily got ready surrounded by her bridesmaids in soft pastel gowns by @azaziebridal. Her look was effortlessly modern, a stunning gown by @kyhastudios / @kyhabride, sourced from the ever-stylish @haloandwrenbridal, paired with heels from @aminamuaddiofficial that added just the right touch of sparkle. Her hair by @massimo_il_moro and makeup by @valentinagalizia_makeupartist were timeless yet relaxed — the kind of refined simplicity that works perfectly for a summer wedding in Puglia.
The ceremony, led by @apulian_ceremony, took place in the courtyard of Masseria Salamina, framed by olive trees and florals designed by @romy_flower_designer. The styling reflected the essence of Puglia, warm, natural tones, and elegant textures that complemented the Masseria’s honey-coloured stone. Guests were welcomed with live music from @lauracviolinist, setting the scene for a celebration that was both intimate and full of life.
After the vows, cocktails flowed freely as the sun dipped behind the olive groves, and the courtyard transformed into a glowing dinner setting, beautifully styled by @_im_finesse, who brought every detail of the day to life. As night fell, @dj_dannyhowen kept the dance floor alive long into the warm Italian evening.
Working alongside @connorcastweddings and @fotovision_photographers, it was an absolute dream to photograph such a heartfelt celebration. Every frame told the story of two people who embraced the spirit of Puglia, relaxed, joyful, and utterly in love.
If you’re dreaming of your own Masseria Salamina wedding, or planning a celebration in southern Italy, this day was everything that makes a Puglia wedding so special, timeless architecture, golden light, and a feeling of joy that lingers long after the last dance.
