Why couples choose us
More than beautiful photographs
01
A calm experience
Guidance when you need it, without turning your wedding into a photoshoot. Most of the day we are simply there, and you will forget we are.
02
Destination experience
Comfortable working with international couples, travel schedules and unfamiliar venues — including the ones none of us has seen until the week of the wedding.
03
Professional backup
Professional equipment, every frame written to two memory cards at once, and your images backed up off-site within twenty-four hours.
04
Clear communication
Straightforward packages, transparent pricing and a simple booking process. You always know what happens next, and what it costs.
Our promises
What every couple can count on
Nothing is published without your consent
No blog post, no portfolio entry, no social post, no submission to a publication. Your wedding is private by default and stays private unless you write to say otherwise. A non-disclosure agreement is signed on request and at no cost.
You meet your photographer before the day
The photographer on your wedding is the one you spoke to, and if a second is added you are told who they are in advance. Both have read the timeline and know the venue. Nobody learns your names that morning.
A preview in seven days, everything in eight weeks
A preview set within seven days of the wedding, and the complete edited set within eight weeks — four for an elopement. Those are commitments rather than estimates. If we are ever going to miss one, you hear it from us before the date passes.
Your archive is kept, and it is yours
Full-resolution files, a private online archive, and a print release for personal use with no expiry and no territory limit. You are never asked to buy back your own photographs.
How it works

Enjoy your day
We photograph the moments naturally and deliver your finished gallery after the wedding — a preview within a week.
Local knowledge
Getting married in Rome?
What matters for your photographs here: the places, the hours and the practicalities — from planning weddings in Rome, not from a travel guide.
Portrait locations
- Spanish Steps and Trinità dei Monti. At sunrise the steps are almost empty and the church at the top catches the first light.
- Giardino degli Aranci, Aventine. A walled orange garden with a terrace looking over the domes to St Peter’s.
- Trastevere. Ivy, ochre walls and cobbled lanes.
The best light
- April to early June. The kindest light of the year in Rome.
- July to August. Hot, bright and busy.
- September to October. Golden and a little softer than spring, with the heat easing.
Popular venues
- Sala Rossa, Campidoglio — Civil ceremony hall, Palazzo dei Conservatori, Capitoline Hill
- Villa Aurelia — Seventeenth-century villa, Janiculum
- Palazzo Brancaccio — Nineteenth-century palazzo and garden, Esquilino
- Villa Miani — Hilltop villa, Monte Mario
Good to know
- Much of the historic centre is a limited-traffic zone.
- The famous squares are public and crowded from mid-morning.
- Professional photography in some public places, and inside churches and state museums, can require permission.
The full Rome guide
Wedding photography in Rome
We photograph weddings and elopements in Rome — civil ceremonies at the Campidoglio, church weddings in the centro storico, receptions in villas on the Janiculum and Monte Mario, and portraits across the Aventine, Trastevere and the Spanish Steps.
The single most useful truth about Rome is that the famous places are only yours early: at sunrise the Trevi Fountain and the Spanish Steps are close to empty, and by mid-morning they belong to the city again.
Rome is warm in colour before the light even arrives. The walls are ochre, terracotta and travertine, and they take the low sun in the way a reflector would, so a portrait against a Trastevere façade in the last hour of light has a glow that no retouching adds. The same walls at noon in July are a furnace of flat, overhead light with nowhere to hide.
The city also belongs to everyone. The Spanish Steps, the Trevi Fountain and Piazza Navona are some of the most visited squares in the world, and a portrait there after mid-morning is a portrait among hundreds of strangers. That is not a reason to avoid them. It is a reason to see them at dawn, before the wedding or on the morning after, when the stone is cool and the squares are quiet.
Most Roman weddings split across two or three places: a ceremony in a church or in the Sala Rossa on the Campidoglio, a villa or palazzo for dinner, and a walk in between. Traffic in the centre is slow and much of it is closed to cars, so we plan those moves on foot where we can and by car only where we must, and we build the portrait time into the walk rather than around it.
The best wedding photography locations in Rome
01
Spanish Steps and Trinità dei Monti
At sunrise the steps are almost empty and the church at the top catches the first light. By mid-morning they are one of the busiest places in Europe, so this is a dawn location or not at all.
02
Giardino degli Aranci, Aventine
A walled orange garden with a terrace looking over the domes to St Peter’s. Quiet, shaded and at its best in the last hour before sunset.
03
Trastevere
Ivy, ochre walls and cobbled lanes. The side streets are good at any hour; the main piazzas are best early, before the restaurant tables go out.
04
Gianicolo terrace
The Janiculum hill gives the widest view over the rooftops of the centre. The hill faces east over the city, so the evening light falls on the domes in front of you rather than into the lens.
05
Trevi Fountain
Only realistic at first light, when the square is quiet and the travertine is still in shade. Later in the day it is too crowded for anything but a fleeting frame.
06
Ponte Sant’Angelo
Bernini’s angels, the river and Castel Sant’Angelo behind. Good at blue hour, when the bridge lights come on and the castle is still readable against the sky.
Popular wedding venues in Rome
Places couples choose between here, and how each behaves for photographs. A list, not a list of partners: we recommend nowhere for a fee.
Sala Rossa, Campidoglio
Civil ceremony hall, Palazzo dei Conservatori, Capitoline Hill
The best-known of the rooms the city of Rome uses for civil ceremonies, named for its red furnishings, on the ground floor of the Palazzo dei Conservatori on Michelangelo’s piazza. The room is small and formal and ceremonies are booked in set slots, so the portraits happen on the piazza and the Cordonata steps outside.
Villa Aurelia
Seventeenth-century villa, Janiculum
A villa and garden on the Janiculum, high above Trastevere, with the city laid out below the terrace. Trees and gravel paths for the afternoon, and the rooftops below for the evening.
Palazzo Brancaccio
Nineteenth-century palazzo and garden, Esquilino
Gilded, mirrored rooms and a large private garden in the middle of the city. The interiors are ornate and fairly dark, so the garden carries the portraits and the rooms carry the evening.
Villa Miani
Hilltop villa, Monte Mario
Built on the highest hill in the city, with terraces facing across Rome to the dome of St Peter’s. A wide, open view that suits the evening, when the city below turns warm.
Castello Orsini-Odescalchi
Renaissance castle, Bracciano
Outside the city on Lake Bracciano: towers, courtyards and frescoed halls above the water. A move out of Rome for the whole day, which trades the city for space and a single location.
When to marry in Rome, and at what hour
April to early June
The kindest light of the year in Rome. Wisteria on the walls, warm days, cool mornings and evenings long enough for an unhurried portrait walk after the ceremony.
July to August
Hot, bright and busy. The middle of the day is hard on everyone, so ceremonies move to late afternoon and portraits to the last hour of light. Much of the city empties in mid-August.
September to October
Golden and a little softer than spring, with the heat easing. Evenings arrive earlier, so the ceremony hour needs setting with the season in mind rather than copied from a June plan.
The kind of place
- Palazzi in the historic centre, with courtyards, frescoed salons and rooftop terraces
- Villas on the hills — the Janiculum, Monte Mario — with gardens and views across the domes
- Churches and basilicas for Catholic ceremonies, often dark inside and bright on the steps
- Castles and country estates in the Lazio countryside for couples who want one location
Planning a wedding in Rome
- Much of the historic centre is a limited-traffic zone. Cars and guest coaches cannot reach every door, and walking between ceremony and portraits is often faster and better.
- The famous squares are public and crowded from mid-morning. We plan them for dawn, before the wedding or on the morning after, rather than squeezing them into the afternoon.
- Professional photography in some public places, and inside churches and state museums, can require permission. The rules change; your planner or the venue will confirm what applies on your date.
- Catholic and civil ceremonies in Italy both involve paperwork that takes time; your planner and the local registry will confirm the requirements, and they affect the date more than the photography does.
Most couples marrying in Rome book our Destination Wedding coverage, which starts from €2,950. It is a full day with one photographer, from getting ready to the evening. The exact price is on request: we quote it in reply to your inquiry, once we know the date, the places, the hours and the number of moves across the city.
Travel and timing are planned around your wedding. We work out the route between your ceremony and your dinner, where the light falls on your venue at ceremony time, and whether a dawn session at the Spanish Steps or the Trevi Fountain fits the wedding morning or the morning after. When it helps, we can arrive early to walk that route at ceremony hour; that is agreed per inquiry.
Travel and accommodation are quoted separately, itemised and at cost. A preview set arrives within seven days and the complete edited set within eight weeks, in a private online gallery with full-resolution downloads and a personal print release. A second photographer, a welcome dinner or a morning-after session can be added.
More questions about Rome
- How much does a wedding photographer cost in Rome?
- Our Destination Wedding coverage in Rome starts from €2,950 for a full day, with travel and accommodation quoted separately at cost. Full Day coverage for up to ten hours starts from €2,250, Half Day coverage for up to five hours from €1,450, and an elopement from €850. Your exact quote depends on the date, hours and travel, and we send it in reply to your inquiry.
- Can we have portraits at the Trevi Fountain or the Spanish Steps without crowds?
- Only early. At sunrise both are close to empty; by mid-morning they are among the busiest places in the city. We usually photograph them on the wedding morning or the morning after, and keep the afternoon for quieter places such as the Aventine and the side streets of Trastevere.
- Do we need a permit to take wedding photographs in Rome?
- It depends on the place. Public streets and squares are generally straightforward for a small, discreet session, while churches, museums, archaeological sites and some monuments have their own rules and may require permission. We work light and without large equipment, and your planner or the site will confirm what applies on your date.
- Can we elope in Rome?
- Yes. Our elopement coverage starts from €850 for two hours with one photographer, and includes help planning the location and timing; the exact price for your date is on request. A symbolic ceremony on a terrace followed by a sunrise walk through the centre works well, and we can help with permits where they are needed.
- What is the best time of year for a wedding in Rome?
- Late April to early June and late September to October. The light is warm and low for longer, the heat is manageable and the evenings suit a portrait walk. July and August work with a late ceremony, but midday is hard on everyone and much of the city empties around mid-August.
- How far ahead should we book a photographer for Rome?
- For a date between May and October, nine to fifteen months ahead is typical, and the spring and September weekends go first. Elopements and weekday dates can often be arranged with less notice.
- Can you photograph our civil ceremony at the Campidoglio?
- Yes. The Sala Rossa on the Capitoline Hill is the best-known of the rooms the city uses for civil ceremonies. Ceremonies there are brief and booked in set time slots, so there are often other couples before and after you. We photograph the ceremony inside and then use the piazza, the Cordonata steps and the view over the Forum for portraits straight afterwards. Your planner or the city’s registry office will confirm booking and paperwork.

Wedding photography in Rome: your questions
How much does wedding photography in Rome cost?
Elopements start from €850 for one to two hours, a Half Day from €1,450 and a Full Day from €2,250. The final price depends on your date, location and coverage, and any travel is itemised at cost — we send an exact quote when we reply.
How far in advance should we book?
Nine to fifteen months ahead is usual for a weekend between May and October, and the most popular dates go first. Weekdays and elopements can often be arranged with less notice, so a closer date is always worth asking about.
Do you photograph intimate weddings and elopements?
Yes — often. An elopement or a wedding of a dozen guests gets the same care as a large one, with coverage from €850 for one to two hours and help choosing the places and the hour.
Can you photograph weddings at our venue?
Almost certainly. We work at venues across Rome and beyond, and if we have not photographed yours we plan it from the light, the layout and the timeline before the day. Tell us the venue when you check your date.
Do you travel outside Rome?
Yes. We photograph weddings across Italy, the rest of Europe and the United States. Travel is quoted separately, itemised and at cost, so you can see exactly what it adds.
How many photographs will we receive?
It depends on the day rather than the clock: a full day usually comes to several hundred edited photographs, an elopement fewer. We do not set a minimum, because a number becomes a target — everything worth keeping is delivered.
When will we receive our gallery?
A preview within seven days, then the complete edited gallery within eight weeks for a wedding and four weeks for an elopement, with high-resolution downloads and personal printing rights.
Do you require a deposit to book?
Yes. A short agreement and a booking deposit reserve your date, and the deposit is part of the total, not added to it. The balance is due before the wedding.
What happens if the weather changes?
We plan a covered alternative for the portraits with you before the day and adapt the timing on the day itself. Soft rain and cloud can make beautiful photographs; nobody is sent out into a storm.
