Vow renewal in the sunrise of Tuscany

Are you ready for an overdose of love, never-ending romance and undisturbed togetherness in picturesque surroundings? Then here’s just what you need: a 5th wedding anniversary vow renewal!

“For our 5th wedding anniversary, my husband and I traveled to Italy last fall to celebrate this anniversary in a very special way in Tuscany.” Reagan reveals to us. And as a wedding planner from Events by Reagan, she of course knows exactly how to do it.

“I have had the privilege of working with Anul and Bijal Shah of Sansaara Photography before. When I told them about our plans, the two hopeless romantics decided to join us and record our renewed vows. It was they who suggested to us the lonely and abandoned chapel Cappella della Madonna di Vitaleta.” Reagan enthuses about the passionate photographer couple.

That small chapel, an intimate ceremony, and the magical light of the rising sun were both the beginning and the end for Reagan and Grant Barnes.

“We decided to hold the ceremony in the silence of the morning hours. Renewing our vows in the sunrise was symbolic for us of a new beginning after a difficult time we have been through together,” Reagan becomes emotional.

As memorable, incomparable, and indescribable as it had begun, that day ended for Reagan and her Grant: “After the ceremony in front of the chapel on the hill, we walked through the old streets of Pienza, drank cappuccino and drove through the rural area of Tuscany, stopping for sunset shots in the most incredible places I’ve ever seen.”

Even though it was not a wedding in the classical sense, of course a bridal bouquet could not be missing. Reagan had the one made by local florists Puscina Flowers to match her blush colored dress.

And Wedding Planner Reagan also thought of the matching stationery: friend and wedding calligrapher Elizabeth Porcher Jones personally calligraphed the meaningful words of the vows on precious paper.

So this is what happens when a successful wedding planner plans her own wedding day and teams up with only the best of the best: a stirring and heartwarming photo journey to Tuscany, captured by Sansaara Photography.
