A Tuscan Elopement at Borgo Santo Pietro

Borgo Santo Pietro Italy - Wedding Photography by Krystle Akin
While planning a wedding back in the states for over a year. Chelsea and Anthony decided instead of having honeymoon in Italy they would get married too. Traveling Italy for two weeks seeing such towns as Rome, Florence, Siena and Positano just to name a few. The couple stayed at Borgo Santo Pietro and exchanged vows on a sunny Thursday afternoon.
With only the officiant/planner and photographer at the ceremony they committed forever with thoughtful vows and many heartfelt tears. See, these two have known each other since high school and have dated for years. They know the ins and out of each other and even went through purchasing their new home during their engagement.
With taking the entire day to slow down, take in the beauty of the Tuscan landscape and not being rushed was a wedding unlike any I have captured before. Not worrying about time we ventured around the gorgeous five star estate and documented its many areas it has to offer for photographs.

"She is such a calming presence
much like a friend"


I'm so happy I hired Krystle as our wedding photographer. We got to meet beforehand when she was in California and took our engagement photos and it was like having a friend take our photos. She was an absolute delight to work with and helped put my husband (who hates taking photos) at ease. Our photos were beautiful and were even featured in Martha Stewart Weddings and Magnolia Rouge which was an lovely surprise. If in doubt, hire her! She is such a calming presence which helps on what can be a very stressful day. Wish we could do it all over again!

""HANDS DOWN THE BEST DECISION"

"Krystle was nothing short of a superhero. Hands down the absolute best decision we made for our wedding was hiring her as our photographer! From the very start she totally got what we were going for, probably more than most of our vendors. Then when the day came, she went so above and beyond and saved the day for us so many times, and the pictures turned out beautifully. She has such an eye for light and color on top of being just an amazing and super helpful person to have around. I would 100% recommend her, and my husband and entire family would agree!"

"TALENT TO SEE BEAUTIFUL IMAGES IN THE ENVIRONMENT THAT YOU DIDN'T KNOW COULD EXIST"

"Krystle was more than I could have ever wished for in a wedding photographer. She has a way of perfectly capturing the light and has a special talent to see beautiful images in the environment that you didn’t know could exist. She was wonderful to work with, easy to communicate with, and we had so much fun with both her and her husband during the wedding and for a day after session. She exceeded our expectations and helped make our wedding day perfect in Playa Del Carmen!"

"IT FELT LIKE KRYSTLE WAS APART OF THE FAMILY"

"When I started planning our wedding, I knew photography was going to be extremely important to me- not only because the photographer would be capturing the most important day of our lives thus far, but because she would be involved in so much of the wedding! After a few weeks of searching, I finally found Krystle and connected with her right off the bat. The first time we talked, we chatted for over an hour (it was just like talking to an old friend) and quickly scheduled our engagement photos with her. I was a little worried how my now husband would do taking photos, but Krystle put him immediately at ease and the whole shoot was so much fun for both of us. Once the wedding day arrived, it felt like Krystle was a part of the family."
