This is the second wedding season that will not start as usual. As a destination wedding photographer, I am a little bit concern about the future but I am really hungry to shoot weddings now.

I can imagine the frustration of couples that invest so much in planning a wedding in Italy and still dream of their Italian wedding.

Venice

Venezia, a city lost in time, without cars and with breathtaking views

La Serenissima is the place where I belong I own the pleasure of being Venetian. A "gondola" or a ride with a taxi boat nothing is comparable to a wedding or an elopement in Piazza San Marco.

Check also for your wedding, elopement or simply to plan your proposal in Venice:

• Aman Palazzo Pappadopoli;

• Cipriani;

• Danieli.

Lake Como

Lake Como is just the top destination for weddings in the world: Villa del Balbianello, Villa Balbiano, Grand Hotel Tremezzo, Mandarin Oriental, Bellagio, and Varenna are among the best places for a Lake Como ceremony.

The beauty of the Alps, the hospitality tradition the proximity to Milano, a luxury and fashion capital, make Lake Como a great place for your elopement, proposal, or engagement. Here is a list of Lake Como wedding venues.

Lake Garda

Lake Garda with its beautiful shores and magnificent hotels is a jewel underestimate in the panorama of Italian destination weddings. Here you can hire a private island: Isola del Garda.

There is also some unbelievable location for your elopement or wedding:

• Villa Feltrinelli a charming and luxurious place out of the crowd;

• Locanda San Vigilio place in one of the most beautiful places on the entire lake.

Lake Maggiore

Lake Maggiore is considered by the Italians, the most beautiful lake on the peninsula.

Here you can find the Borromean Islands simply unforgettable during Spring and Summer.

There is a tradition both in the Italian and in the Swiss shore of hospitality, relax and hotellerie.

Here one of my favorite wedding locations is Grand Hotel des iles Borromees.

Tuscany

Everything is ready in the hills of Tuscany, as soon as it will be possible to travel couples will arrive in the cities, small villages and villas to celebrate their weddings. Tuscany is one of the most loved destinations for elopements among UK citizens.

Amalfi Coast

Spring, late Summer, and the beginning of Autumn are the best time in the year to get married on the Amalfi Coast:

• Positano: Le Sireneuse

• Ravello: Villa Cimbrone with the Infinity Terrace

Italy is ready and is waiting for guests from all over the world that wants to create a cornerstone in the life of their families.

As a wedding photographer, I miss a lot the fun and joy of foreign couples that come here to elope, to propose, and to have a fabulous ceremony with their relatives and friends.

In the last couple of years is also emerging Apulia as Italy wedding destination.
