PHOTOGRAPHY • PLANNING • LOCAL GUIDANCE
You already know you want Italy!
The views. The food. The atmosphere. You want an experience that feels personal, untraditional, and completely yours.
The challenge is planning it from another country.
That is where I come in.
I help you choose the right location, build a relaxed timeline, and coordinate the details, so you can arrive in Italy knowing what to expect.
You just show up and enjoy it.
For you, eloping in Italy means turning your wedding into an unforgettable experience.
Whether you’re dreaming of dramatic mountains, lake views, rolling vineyards, or hidden villages, your elopement should be built around the experiences that matter most to you.
We might be a great fit if…
- You are skipping the traditional wedding and want something intentional, personal, and cool.
- You want timeless, artsy, candid photos.
- You want privacy and calm, not crowds or a packed checklist.
- You are planning from abroad and want a local who can show you the side of Italy most people miss, beyond the busy names and overdone itineraries.
- You want to experience the Italy you came for: incredible views, amazing food, quiet villages, aperitivos that turn into dinner, and memories that go far beyond the vows.
A local on your side changes everything.
Ciao! I am Alessia
From planning to photography, I’ll be your local guide every step of the way.
Whether you’re dreaming of mountain views, quiet lake towns, hidden villages, or a long aperitivo that turns into dinner, I’ll help you create a day that feels like your version of Italy.
You will have someone local with you before and during the day, so the whole experience feels calmer, clearer, and easier to enjoy.
And yes, you will leave with photographs you will be obsessed with.
"Alessia made us feel completely comfortable in front of the camera and guided us through every pose with so much care and confidence."
“We had an amazing experience with Alessia! Her eye for detail is incredible! She captured not only beautiful images, but real emotions. The final result left us speechless.“

Thinking about more than one day in Italy? Absolutely.
You do not need to squeeze the whole experience into one day.
Italy has so much variety within a short distance. You could spend one day in Venice, then head toward the Dolomites, Lake Garda, Tuscany, or another completely different corner of the country.
More time means more atmosphere, more food, more places, and a pace that actually feels spacious.
If you are dreaming of a multi-day elopement, tell me what you have in mind. I will create a tailored quote for you.
Ready to start planning your Italy elopement?
I can’t wait to talk to you, get to know you and start designing the perfect italian dream elopement for you.
And this is how we do it.
- You reach out
Fill out the contact form with your date and your vision, even if it is just “somewhere on Lake Garda” or simply Italy. - We talk it through
I reply with availability and a link to book a discovery call. We talk through your ideas, your priorities, your questions, and the kind of experience you want. You book, then we build it
Once the contract is signed and the retainer is paid, your date is officially reserved. From there, we start shaping the locations, vendors, timeline, and all the details that make the day work.
Thinking of including guests?
I am happy to include your closest people, up to 15 guests.
Just keep in mind that more guests usually means more logistics: transport, parking, seating, food, reservations, and moving as a group.
None of this is a problem. It simply means we plan the day more strategically, so it still feels calm, private, and true to what you want.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you only work in Italy?
Italy is home, but I also photograph elopements and intimate weddings throughout Europe. If you’re dreaming of somewhere special, let’s talk.
How does the process work?
Once I receive your contact form, we’ll schedule a video call to get to know each other and talk through your vision. After the call, I’ll send you a tailored quote plus the contract, and once the booking fee is paid your date is officially locked. Then I start designing your elopement around you, from locations and timing to a timeline that makes sense, with solid Plan B options.
How do we communicate during the planning?
I use a clear, structured system with everything organised in shared Google spreadsheets, so you always know what is next. All your details live in one place, easy to access, easy to update, and simple to follow.
What is your photography style?
My approach is documentary and natural, focusing on real moments and emotions. I’ll capture candid moments while also gently guiding you through a few relaxed, natural poses. No awkward or forced posing, I promise.
Do you offer multi day elopements?
Yes. Absolutely. If one day feels too short, I can create a custom multi day proposal built around your plans and the kind of experience you want in Italy.
Can we include guests?
When will we receive our photos?
You’ll receive a sneak peek gallery within 48 hours of your elopement.
Your full gallery will be delivered within 12 weeks.
What happens if the weather is bad?
I strongly suggest planning multiple days, especially in the mountains, where the weather can be unpredictable. I always reserve a full week for elopements to stay flexible in case of weather changes or travel issues — and yes, I always carry umbrellas just in case.
What makes you different as a photographer?
I’m a local, kind Italian photographer who speaks fluent English and has lived abroad for many years. I’m deeply passionate about travel, food, romance, and human connection, and I truly go above and beyond to make sure your day feels effortless, meaningful, and unforgettable.
How do we book you?
Simply reach out through my contact form. I’d love to hear your story and start dreaming up something beautiful together.
"Every photo feels authentic, capturing the connection between us in such a beautiful, natural way."
“Alessia has a wonderful way of making the whole experience relaxed and enjoyable, while still being very professional. We are very happy with the results and highly recommend her to anyone looking for timeless couple portraits or wedding photos!“
