The Dolomites are one of the most incredible places to experience an elopement wedding. Monumental mountains, dreamy lakes, surreal panoramas… everything seems designed for a love that wants to become eternal in the most authentic way possible. This is how Katie and Justin, an enthusiastic American couple, decided to say their “I do.”

When they contacted me, they were excited but also apprehensive because of the cloud forecast. Yet, they trusted me and my knowledge of the Dolomites. Together, we made their dream come true: an elopement wedding in three iconic locations, each more evocative than the last.

Our first stop was the Cadini di Misurina Viewpoint, perhaps the most surreal view of the Dolomites: imposing ridges, unique shapes, and a trail that seems suspended in mid-air. Here, we began to tell their story, far from everything, surrounded only by nature and silence.

Then we descended to Lake Braies, where the emerald water and traditional boats transformed their photos into a true modern fairytale. Finally, Lake Antorno gave us an intimate and poetic atmosphere, with the Tre Cime peaks glimpsed through the clouds. The day, which was supposed to be gray, transformed into pure magic.

What I love most about photographing elopement weddings in the Dolomites is precisely this: welcoming the unexpected and transforming it into beauty. Katie and Justin let themselves be guided, having fun and living every moment with spontaneity.

And their words after receiving the photographs were the most beautiful gift for me:
“I absolutely recommend Gallizio Wedding Photography if you are looking for a skilled photographer to help you capture one-of-a-kind photographs to commemorate your big day. My husband and I had no idea what to expect going into it, having never done a photoshoot before, but Luca made the entire process so easy and seamless. He has a very intimate local knowledge of all of the best locations, and is very good at helping you through the poses, so we ended up getting the perfect photos with ease. He is an amazingly easy person to get along with, and we enjoyed spending the day with him! The photographs he produced exceeded our expectations in every way – they are true works of art – and he delivered them with no delay. We will treasure them for a lifetime
If you too dream of an intimate and stress-free elopement wedding in the Dolomites, with photographs that truly express who you are… I will be happy to guide you and help you create a unique experience.
