Amalfi coast weddings feature

Intimate, relaxed weddings in Sorrento, Positano, Amalfi & Ravello, documentary honesty, with an editorial polish.

If you’re planning to elope in Sorrento or the Amalfi Coast, Italy, you’re in the right place.

I photograph relaxed, intimate destination weddings across one of the most beautiful coastlines in the world,  from cliffside vows in Positano to quiet moments in Sorrento overlooking the Bay of Naples. 

The Amalfi Coast is one of the most iconic wedding destinations in the world — and Sorrento is often the perfect base for couples who want something beautiful but less chaotic than Positano.

Here you’ll find:

  • Cliffside views over the Mediterranean 
  • Lemon groves and hidden gardens
  • Historic towns full of character
  • Golden light that feels made for photography
  • Incredible food, wine, and atmosphere

Sorrento gives you the beauty of the Amalfi Coast with easier access and a more relaxed pace.
