The bride and groom wrapped themselves up in a loving embrace as they shared their first kiss as husband and wife underneath the warm glow of the Tuscan sunshine.

Johanna and Peter knew that their simmering passion for one another was contagious, but they weren't expecting to usher in a heat wave for their outdoor elopement in the Tuscan countryside. Still, despite the soaring temperatures, the couple created magic underneath the blazing sun during their personal and intimate ceremony. The ceremony and reception took place at a Tuscan farmhouse known as Podere Bellaria. The storied past of this location — which once served as a post station and also was a home for a noble family in Italy — added a sense of history to the day, blending the beauty of days gone by with the promise of a new tomorrow.
