WEDDINGPHOTOGRAPHY ITALY
Wedding photographer based in Italy
The Tuscan dream wedding or an elopement in the mountains?
I'm so glad you came to my website! Are you also getting married in Italy? Super!
I have a house in Northern Italy with my Italian boyfriend, so I know a lot about the culture, I know the language and I'm totally in my element when it comes to wedding photography abroad. So many scents, colors and new inspiration.
I have a base from two countries and have contacts with various wedding suppliers in Northern and Central Italy and in this way I hope to be able to help in the search for your dream wedding, because I also see myself as a half wedding planner these days.
​Are you also looking for a wedding photographer who already lives in Italy and will go with you to your wedding or anywhere else in the world, then feel free to ask for information and look at Wedding Abroad. I photograph from Lake Como, to Tuscany, but even the south of Italy. Have you already decided where you are going to get married? Then quickly check if I am still available on your date and request a video call.
Why choose a wedding in Italy?
1. Breathtaking Locations
From the serene lakes of Northern Italy, such as Lake Como, Lake Garda and Lake Iseo, to the rolling hills of Tuscany with its typical castles and villas, there is something for everyone. Italy offers a wide range of beautiful wedding locations that are perfect for a (multi-day) wedding. Each lake has its own charm: Lake Como with its luxurious villas, Lake Garda with its lively atmosphere and beautiful fields of wineries, and Iseo with its tranquil beauty and remote island of Monte Isola.
​
2. Romantic Culture
Italy is steeped in romance. From the historic architecture to the delicious cuisine, every wedding here is a celebration of love. Italian traditions, such as sharing a meal at long tables with friends and family, make it extra special. It is the perfect setting to celebrate your love, especially since you often spend several days together.
​
3. Ideal Weather
Italy has a Mediterranean climate. This makes it possible to have an outdoor wedding most of the year, especially in spring and fall when temperatures are pleasant. Italy has a lot of sunshine, which contributes to a festive and cheerful atmosphere on your wedding day. The sunny days are perfect for outdoor ceremonies and receptions.

Tips for Couples Getting Married in Italy
Research the Laws
Make sure you are well informed about the legal requirements for getting married in Italy. This can vary by region. You will usually need documents such as a birth certificate, proof of unmarried status, and possibly a translation of these documents.
​
Start Early
Planning a wedding abroad can be a challenge, so start your preparations early. This will give you enough time to arrange everything and enjoy the process.
​
Use Local Expertise
Rely on local suppliers and their knowledge of the region. They can help you navigate the unique challenges and requirements of getting married in Italy. I also know a number of Dutch wedding planners that I work with.
​
Taste the Local Cuisine
Make time to explore the local cuisine. This can also be a great part of your wedding, with for example a traditional Italian meal or a wine tasting.
​
Communication is key
Make sure you communicate clearly with your suppliers about your wishes and expectations. This prevents misunderstandings and helps everything run smoothly.
​
Cultural Elements
Consider adding Italian traditions to your day. For example an aperitif before dinner and the cake after dinner. Perhaps a nice pizza night the day before.
​
Enjoy the process
It is so important to not only plan the perfect day, but also to enjoy the process. Take the time to explore the region and enjoy all that Italy has to offer.
​
As I said before, I have also become a semi-wedding planner with over 200 weddings to my name and I can help you with a lot of points and get you started on planning your day.

Getting married in Tuscany near the town of Arezzo
How I got to photograph this wedding is a very funny story. Most of my bookings come from face-to-face marketing. Three years ago, I went to a campsite for an opening weekend "De Lievelinge". While I was dancing in the evening, I was introduced to a girl and she happened to be a wedding planner for, among other things, wedding venues in Italy. She immediately said she was looking for a wedding photographer who wanted to go to Italy to photograph the wedding of her brother who was getting married in the Region of Tuscany. I didn't have to think long about this. Of course I want to! And so we started planning the trip to photograph Elisabeth & Miguel's wedding in Italy.
The idea was to go road tripping with her and the videographer Leandra. We went in a big van with lots of flowers, the althar and other wedding decorations in the back. Drove for three days and arrived at this beautiful wedding location with an incredible view.
Montelucci Country Resort. The estate is located in the Tuscan countryside, between hills topped by medieval towns, really great!
The first day there we chilled by the pool, the althar was built and the decoration was in place. It was going to be a very hot day, 36 degrees, but we had plenty of water and the atmosphere was great! The wedding was Jewish, so I saw a lot of new traditions that are really beautiful to experience! The whole wedding was just so much fun and it lasted into the early hours with a few cocktails and salsa dancing.
​
It is a wedding paradise! This wedding photography in Italy makes you feel like you're in small castles, vast olive tree fields and delicious Italian dishes.
