Wedding Ostuni Puglia | Ivan and Marika | Masseria Montalbano

Ivan and Marika's Masseria Montalbano wedding took place in the Puglian countryside near Ostuni — a working farmhouse of whitewashed walls and dry-stone architecture set among old olive groves. It is a landscape that photographs differently from the coast: flatter light, warmer stone, fields that turn gold in the late afternoon.
The day made full use of it. The bride sat with family before the ceremony in a quiet interior; afterwards the couple came down the masseria's steps into open air, and the portraits followed them through the olive trees and the golden fields, the veil catching the wind at sunset. Red bougainvillea against white walls set the palette for the details and the décor. Photographed in an editorial and documentary style, the gallery keeps the particular character of a Puglian wedding — unhurried, sun-worn, close to the land — and the warmth of a celebration held where the family has roots.
