The place

Puglia

Olive groves, white towns and fortified farmhouses on the heel of Italy, between two seas.

September is one of the easiest months to marry here.

The light

How the light falls there

Flat land, white stone and sea on both sides make for bright, reflected light — hard at midday, glowing at either end of the day, when the white walls turn pink and gold. The Adriatic coast faces east, for sunrise over the sea; for the sun setting into it, the Ionian side of the Salento faces west.
