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
From your first message to your wedding gallery
01
Tell us about your plans
Send your date, location and a few details about your wedding. It takes two minutes.
02
Check availability
We confirm availability — usually within 24 hours — and recommend the coverage that fits your plans.
03
Plan your photography
We discuss the timeline, locations, light and anything important to you, and a booking deposit holds the date.
04
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 Sicily & Taormina?
What matters for your photographs here: the places, the hours and the practicalities — from planning weddings in Sicily & Taormina, not from a travel guide.
Portrait locations
- Isola Bella, Taormina. A tiny island joined to the shore by a strip of pebbles, in a clear green bay below the town.
- Piazza IX Aprile, Taormina. The terrace square on Corso Umberto, open to the sea with Etna to the south.
- Teatro Antico di Taormina. The ancient theatre above the town, with the sea and Etna framed by its ruins.
The best light
- April to May. Green, flowering and warm without heat.
- June to August. Hot and hard.
- September to October. Warm sea, softening light, the harvest in, and the island much quieter.
Popular venues
- Grand Hotel Timeo — Clifftop hotel, Taormina
- Villa Sant’Andrea — Seafront villa, Mazzarò
- Dimora delle Balze — Nineteenth-century estate, Noto
- Baglio Occhipinti — Country estate, near Vittoria (Ragusa)
Good to know
- Ancient monuments are protected sites.
- It is an island.
- High summer can bring scirocco haze off North Africa, which flattens distant views including Etna.
The full Sicily & Taormina guide
Wedding photography in Sicily & Taormina
We photograph weddings and elopements in Taormina and across Sicily — clifftop terraces above the Ionian, baroque towns in Noto and Ragusa, and country estates on the slopes of Etna.
There is no other wedding destination in Europe where sea, cliff, ancient ruin and an active volcano appear in one frame. That is the argument for Sicily, and on a clear day in May with snow still on the summit it is sufficient.
Taormina sits on a terrace of rock high above the Ionian Sea with Etna filling the view to the south, and there is no other wedding destination in Europe with that combination: sea, cliff, ancient ruin and an active volcano in one frame. The ancient theatre above the town is the picture everyone knows, and it earns its reputation.
Sicily as a whole is larger and stranger than Taormina suggests — baroque towns in the southeast built entirely in honey-coloured stone after an earthquake, Greek temples standing in fields on the south coast, and a light that is properly Mediterranean, hard and bright and dry. It is the southernmost destination on this list and it behaves like it.
Demand here has risen sharply and the good venues now book as far out as Como does. The logistics are more involved than mainland Italy — it is an island, the drive from Catania takes longer than it should, and the coast road is slow in season.
The best wedding photography locations in Sicily & Taormina
01
Isola Bella, Taormina
A tiny island joined to the shore by a strip of pebbles, in a clear green bay below the town. Best early in the morning, before the beach fills.
02
Piazza IX Aprile, Taormina
The terrace square on Corso Umberto, open to the sea with Etna to the south. Busy in the evening; calm and bright just after sunrise.
03
Teatro Antico di Taormina
The ancient theatre above the town, with the sea and Etna framed by its ruins. A ticketed, protected monument: any organised use needs authorisation applied for well in advance.
04
Castelmola
A small village on the rock above Taormina, with views down the coast and across to the volcano. Quieter than the town and good in the last hour of light.
05
Cathedral steps and Corso, Noto
A wide baroque stair in pale golden limestone. The stone glows in the late afternoon, and the main street is quiet early in the morning.
06
Ragusa Ibla
The old town on its own ridge, all domes, stairs and honey stone. Seen from the upper town at dusk it is one of the finest views in the southeast.
Popular wedding venues in Sicily & Taormina
Places couples choose between here, and how each behaves for photographs. A list, not a list of partners: we recommend nowhere for a fee.
Grand Hotel Timeo
Clifftop hotel, Taormina
Terraces beside the ancient theatre with Etna filling the southern view. The mountain is the backdrop the schedule should be built around.
Villa Sant’Andrea
Seafront villa, Mazzarò
At sea level below the town, reached by cable car or a long road. Water and pebble rather than cliff, and a completely different register from the terraces above it.
Dimora delle Balze
Nineteenth-century estate, Noto
In the southeast, all pale limestone and almond groves. The stone here goes gold in the last hour in a way the volcanic north does not.
Baglio Occhipinti
Country estate, near Vittoria (Ragusa)
A restored baglio among vineyards, olives and dry-stone walls, taken whole, with room for a ceremony under the trees. Countryside rather than coast, and the light goes gold over the vines at the end of the day.
San Domenico Palace
Former fourteenth-century convent, Taormina
A cloister and terraced gardens looking over the bay to Etna. The cloister gives even shade at the hour the gardens are in full sun, and the two photograph as different days.
When to marry in Sicily & Taormina, and at what hour
April to May
Green, flowering and warm without heat. Etna still holds snow, which is the best version of that view.
June to August
Hot and hard. Scirocco can bring haze and dust from North Africa; the middle of the day is unworkable outdoors.
September to October
Warm sea, softening light, the harvest in, and the island much quieter. The best month is September.
The kind of place
- Clifftop hotels and terraced gardens above the sea at Taormina
- Ancient sites — theatres and temples — which are protected ground with their own rules
- Baroque palazzi in the southeastern towns, all honey limestone and grand stairs
- Working country estates inland, with citrus, almond and Etna on the horizon
Planning a wedding in Sicily & Taormina
- Ancient monuments are protected sites. Access for a ceremony or an organised photography session is by authorisation, applied for well in advance, and is not something to assume.
- It is an island. Everything and everyone arrives via Catania or Palermo, and the transfer to Taormina takes longer than the distance implies.
- High summer can bring scirocco haze off North Africa, which flattens distant views including Etna.
- The old town is pedestrian and stepped; vehicles do not reach most of it.
Most couples in Sicily book our Destination Wedding coverage, from €2,950: one photographer for the full day, with a welcome dinner or morning-after session available as additions and exact pricing on request. Travel is quoted at cost and itemised; everyone arrives via Catania or Palermo and the transfer takes longer than the distance implies.
The authorisation question gets settled first. The ancient sites here are protected monuments, access is granted in advance with conditions, and a day built on the assumption that a theatre will be available is a day with a hole in it. We plan the photographs for both outcomes and settle the alternatives in advance, so a refusal is a change of route rather than a lost afternoon.
Preview within seven days, the complete edited set within eight weeks in a private online gallery with full-resolution downloads, and a personal print release. Nothing published without your written consent.
Destination Wedding in Sicily & Taormina
There is no other wedding destination in Europe where the sea, a cliff, an ancient ruin and an active volcano can appear in the same frame. Taormina sits on a rock terrace high above the Ionian with Etna filling the southern horizon, and on a clear day in May with snow still on the summit it produces a photograph that simply cannot be made anywhere else. That is the argument for Sicily, and it is sufficient.
The practical work is access. The ancient sites are protected monuments and any organised use of them is by authorisation applied for well in advance, with conditions attached — which means the day cannot be built on the assumption that they will be available. We plan the photographs for both outcomes and settle the alternatives in advance, so that a refused permission is a change of route rather than a lost afternoon.
More questions about Sicily & Taormina
- How much does a wedding photographer cost in Sicily?
- A full wedding day in Taormina or the southeast starts at €2,950 on our Destination Wedding tier. Smaller days start at €1,450 for up to five hours or €2,250 for up to ten, and elopements at €850. Travel is quoted at cost. Your exact quote depends on the date, hours and travel, and we send it in reply to your inquiry.
- How far ahead should we book in Sicily?
- Demand has risen quickly and the Taormina venues now book much like the northern lakes: nine to fifteen months ahead is typical for June or September. The southeast still has more room at shorter notice.
- Can we elope in Sicily?
- Yes. Our elopement coverage starts at €850 for two hours, with the location and timing planned for you — Isola Bella at sunrise, or the stairs of Noto or Ragusa Ibla at the end of the day. Where a site needs permission, we help you find out who grants it.
- Can we be married at the ancient theatre?
- It is a protected monument and any use of it is by authorisation obtained in advance, with conditions attached. Your planner leads that application, and we plan the photographs for both outcomes so the day does not depend on it.
- When will Etna be visible?
- Clearest in spring and autumn. High summer can bring scirocco haze off North Africa that flattens distant views entirely, including the mountain, which is the single best reason to avoid an August date here.
- Which month?
- September is the best combination — warm sea, softening light, a quiet island. April and May are green and flowering with snow still on Etna, which is the most photogenic version of that view.
- How hard is Taormina to move around?
- The old town is pedestrian and stepped; vehicles do not reach most of it, and the sea-level hotels are connected by cable car or a long switchback road. Both are schedule facts rather than inconveniences.
- Is Sicily only Taormina?
- Not at all, and the southeast is the part most couples have not considered — baroque towns rebuilt entirely in honey limestone after an earthquake, with almond groves around them and far fewer weddings in them.

Wedding photography in Sicily & Taormina: your questions
How much does wedding photography in Sicily & Taormina 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 Sicily & Taormina 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 Sicily & Taormina?
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.
