In September we traveled to the Amalfi Coast of Italy to photograph Ted & Daniella’s gorgeous Villa Cimbrone wedding. For their pre-wedding portrait session, we thought it would be fun to show the beauty of their wedding venue Villa Cimbrone and the charming town of Ravello. We spent the afternoon walking Ravello soaking up the sunshine, and culture, and eating way too much gelato along the way. These two are incredible people and it was a true joy to spend the weekend celebrating with their friends and family.

We always encourage our destination clients to schedule time for a portrait session the weekend of the wedding before the weekend festivities kick off. A portrait session allows the clients to get to know our team and how we shoot and also gives them a chance to familiarize themselves with being behind the camera. This results in gorgeous photos in the destination wedding location and a chance to get warmed up and ready for gorgeous wedding day portraits!

Are you planning a destination wedding in Italy? Exclusive Weddings in Italy is one of our favorite wedding planners in Italy. We recommend all clients hosting a destination wedding abroad look at hiring someone with innate knowledge about the venue and vendors they will be bringing in to work the events.
