Evening Wedding at Masseria Fortificata San Francesco in Matera
Elegant and spontaneous wedding photography
This wedding in Matera combined the historic atmosphere of the Sassi with the elegance of an evening celebration at Masseria Fortificata San Francesco. After the religious ceremony at San Pietro Caveoso church in Piazza San Pietro Caveoso, guests gathered in the courtyard of the masseria for an outdoor dinner. Soft string lights and candles on the tables created a warm and refined atmosphere. It was a minimal chic wedding designed to highlight the beauty of the place and captured through spontaneous and elegant photography.
Minimal – Chic – Glamour
The ceremony took place at San Pietro Caveoso, one of the most iconic churches in Matera. The church overlooks the beautiful square and the ancient Sassi landscape. Its simple stone architecture creates a quiet and authentic atmosphere. After the ceremony, the celebration continued at Masseria Fortificata San Francesco. This historic venue offers a charming courtyard that is perfect for outdoor wedding receptions in Matera.
The bride, a graphic designer, personally designed the wedding invitations and several visual elements of the event. Her work gave the wedding a clear and elegant visual identity. Every detail reflected a minimal aesthetic and a refined sense of design. As a wedding photographer in Matera, my approach was to capture the day through natural moments and modern compositions. The evening light, candles and soft lights in the courtyard of Masseria Fortificata San Francesco helped create images that feel elegant, spontaneous and slightly glamorous.
