I want to get married in Italy, but I don’t know where to start. What should I do first?
Start with two things: your date range and the type of experience you want (intimate elopement, full wedding day, or a surprise proposal). Then we can choose the best location, timing, and a simple plan that fits your vision and budget.
What is the best time of year to get married in Italy?
Spring (April–June) and early fall (September–October) are usually ideal — beautiful light, comfortable temperatures, and a more relaxed feel than peak summer.
What time of day is best for photos in Italy?
Early morning or golden hour. Light changes quickly here, and timing is often the difference between “nice” photos and truly cinematic, magazine-level images.
Do we need permits for photos in Italy?
Often, yes. Many villas, gardens, and boat companies — especially around Lake Como — require a photo permit and advance booking. The most popular spots fill up quickly, so planning early is key.
How many hours should we book for a proposal or elopement?
For proposals, 1–2 hours usually works perfectly. For an elopement, 2–4 hours gives you a calm pace, multiple locations, and time to actually enjoy the moment.
What if it rains on our day?
Don’t panic — Italy weather changes fast. I always help you build a Plan B: covered spots, alternative locations, or shifting the time. We’ll still create something beautiful
What’s the biggest mistake couples make when planning photos in Italy?
Overpacking the schedule. A calm timeline creates the most emotional images. When you have breathing room, the photos feel real — and you actually remember the day.
Can you help us with planning, not just photography
Yes. I’ll help with location suggestions, the best timing for light, a smooth timeline, and practical advice (permits, logistics, and what to expect) — so the day feels effortless.
Send me your date, your location idea (or a few options), and what you’re planning (wedding, elopement, proposal). I’ll reply with availability and a personalized plan.
