A luxurious destination wedding in Puglia, Italy
BETH & ANDY – AMASTOULA WINERY
DESTINATION WEDDING AT AMASTOULA WINERY, ITALY
“A summer destination wedding in Puglia Italy was a modern romantic fairy tail for Beth and Andy”
In the summer glow of June, Beth and Andy brought their love story to life in a setting that seemed pulled from a dream. They exchanged vows surrounded by the sunlit vineyards of Masseria Amastuola in Puglia, Italy—a place that captured the magic and romance they envisioned. Overlooking sprawling vineyards and under a canopy of twinkling lights, they celebrated not only their commitment but also the joy and laughter shared over their twelve-year journey together.
College sweethearts Beth and Andy’s journey began twelve years ago at The University of Manchester, where a shared friend group sparked a romance that would take them across the world. After building their life together in Sydney, Andy transformed their routine morning run into an unforgettable moment – surprising Beth with a champagne picnic and a ring at their favorite coastal lookout. There, overlooking the sparkling waters of Manly Beach, they began writing the next chapter of their love story.

“FROM AUSTRALIA TO ITALY, WE HAVE ENJOYED HAVING SHAE ALONG FOR THE JOURNEY. WE WOULDN’T WANT ANYONE ELSE TO PHOTOGRAPH OUR DAY.”
For her wedding look, Beth chose a KYHA Davies dress with a timeless corset and voluminous skirt, embodying the elegance of a princess. Her look was completed with natural makeup and effortless waves, perfectly embodying the relaxed Italian atmosphere. For the evening celebrations, she changed into a shorter Shona Joy dress that allowed her to dance freely.
As the golden Italian sun began its gentle descent, casting a warm glow across Amastuola‘s endless vineyards, the ceremony unfolded like a scene from a romantic film. Against this breathtaking backdrop, where rows of ancient vines stretched toward the horizon, the couple exchanged heartfelt vows that brought tears and smiles to every face. Their decision to have a close friend officiate added an incredibly personal touch to the moment. Breaking beautifully from tradition, the air filled with joy as guests joined together in a spirited rendition of “That’s Amore” – a moment that captured the pure happiness of the day perfectly. The ceremony reached another emotional peak when a friend delivered a touching reading from Dolly Alderton’s “Everything I Know About Love,” the carefully chosen words echoing the couple’s own journey and beliefs about love.
“THE ULTIMATE DESTINATION WEDDING IN ITALY HAS TO BE AMASTOULA WINERY, PUGLIA”
mid the joy of their wedding celebration, Beth and Andy discovered a quiet moment of solitude on the masseria’s ancient rooftop. There, suspended between earth and sky, they experienced one of those rare, perfect moments that only a wedding day can bring. The couple stood hand in hand, watching their loved ones celebrate below while the setting sun painted the vineyard landscape in shades of amber and rose.
Shae Estella‘s masterful eye transformed these intimate moments into timeless art. Her thoughtful approach captured not just images but the true essence of the evening. Each photograph – whether catching the glow of sunset on ancient stones or the genuine joy between the newlyweds – told a story that would be treasured for generations to come.
