elope in italy
get married yOUR way
Imagine saying your vows in a place in Italy that already holds meaning for you—or one you’ve always dreamed of discovering for the first time.
From Rome and Venice to Tuscany and the quieter corners of Southern Italy, every region offers a completely different atmosphere. That’s the beauty of eloping here: Italy isn’t one backdrop, but many worlds, each with its own light, rhythm, and feeling.
I’ve witnessed couples create deeply personal stories across the country—intimate vows in family-rooted villages in Basilicata, winter ceremonies in Venice, and heartfelt elopements in Rome written entirely in their own words. Even in the same city, no two stories are ever the same.
Eloping in Italy means stepping away from pressure and tradition, and instead choosing something intentional, intimate, and truly yours.
You’re not just booking photos — you’re booking...
an experience that feels effortless
Falling in love with the idea of eloping in Italy is the easy part. Actually figuring out how to make it happen? That’s usually where couples start feeling overwhelmed.
Which city feels right? How many days should you stay? Should you choose the Amalfi Coast or Lake Como? Tuscany or Rome? How do transportation timings work? What time should your ceremony happen for the best light? What happens if it rains? Where do you even begin when planning from another country?
And this is exactly why you’re not simply hiring someone to show up and take beautiful photos.
You’re having someone by your side who knows how Italian elopements actually work—the beautiful parts, the complicated parts, and all the little details in between that most couples don’t even realize they’ll need help with until they’re already stressed.
– That means helping you choose between locations that look incredible online but offer completely different experiences in real life.
– That means recommending the perfect timeline so your day feels relaxed instead of rushed.
– Finding the perfect vendors you might need.
– That also means helping you understand travel logistics between cities, finding hidden locations away from crowds, suggesting meaningful activities or simply answering the random questions that pop into your mind at midnight.
And it simply means reminding you that this gets to feel exciting. That your elopement doesn’t need to look like anyone else’s. Whatever your dream day looks like—I help you turn those ideas into something real, intentional, and beautifully doable.
So instead of spending months trying to figure everything out on your own, you can focus on what matters most: being excited to marry your favorite person in one of the most beautiful places in the world. And I’ll help you with the rest.
**A Truly Magical Experience - Beyond Our Wildest Dreams!**
From the moment we connected with Rita we knew we had found someone truly special. When she offered to fly all the way to New York for our engagement session, we were blown away by her dedication - but that was just the beginning of an absolutely incredible experience.
What sets her apart isn't just her incredible talent behind the camera (though the photos are absolutely stunning), it's her genuine warmth and the way she makes you feel like you've known her forever. She doesn't just show up to take pictures - she takes the time to really get to know you as a couple, understanding your story, your personalities, and what makes your love unique.
During our session, she had us laughing, feeling completely natural and comfortable, and captured moments that felt so authentically "us." Her engaging personality and infectious enthusiasm made what could have been an awkward photo shoot feel like spending time with a dear friend who just happens to be incredibly talented with a camera.
The fact that she was willing to travel such a distance speaks volumes about her commitment to her couples, and every interaction with her has been filled with such genuine care and excitement for our upcoming wedding. We couldn't be more thrilled to have her document our special day next year!
If you're looking for a photographer who will not only capture beautiful images but will make the entire experience joyful and memorable, look no further. She's truly one of a kind!

why i love elopements
Elopements inspire me because they are honest, emotional, and beautifully unstructured — while still being deeply intentional. They give you the freedom to slow down, change direction, create new plans, and follow your hearts without pressure or expectations.
With a relaxed, flowing timeline and space for spontaneity, backup plans, and last-minute ideas, your day can evolve naturally, just like your story. There are no rigid rules, no strict schedules — only meaningful moments, genuine connection, and the adventure of experiencing it all together.
For me, every elopement becomes a deeply personal journey, shaped by who you are, how you love, and the places that inspire you.
Emotion-driven Photography
Whether you’re escaping together to a beautiful place just for yourselves, or sharing your elopement with a small circle of loved ones, I’m there to document your story in the most honest and meaningful way.
My approach is rooted in natural, reportage-style photography. I don’t believe in stiff posing or interrupting real moments—instead, I welcome movement, emotion, and spontaneity.
I’ll gently guide you when needed, suggesting beautiful spots, light, and simple prompts that help you interact naturally with each other. Nothing forced, nothing overly structured—just space for you to move, explore, and forget the camera is even there.
Most of the time, it will feel like we’re simply hanging out: you two focused on each other, fully present in the moment, while I quietly move around and document what unfolds.
My role is to create the conditions for you to feel free—whether that’s wandering through a city, standing on a quiet hillside, or getting lost in the landscape—so your experience feels effortless, real, and entirely yours.
"I can’t express enough how wonderful it was to have Rita be our photographer for our elopement.
She is so incredibly knowledgeable on all the best photo spots, how to layout your day depending on where you’d like to capture photos, and very honest and realistic about what can be accomplished. It was hard to know for certain what was and was not going to be under scaffolding in preparation for the Jubilee, so it was so great to have Rita give us updates in case something in our plan needed to be changed.
She is an excellent communicator and gave us updates the morning of when she would be there and arrived ready to go! Rita has excellent recommendations on where to stand so the light is just right and some different movements to try to capture beautiful organic photos.
She really understands how to make people feel comfortable and at different moments throughout the day, it felt like we were the only people in Rome. Additionally, Rita goes above and beyond what we expected of a photographer. She provided excellent recommendations for our time in Rome, created the most stunning bouquet, and made us feel incredibly comfortable. It helped us so much to meet over video call a few times before the actual day, so we were all aligned on the plan, and we got to know each other a little.
Conversation flows so naturally with Rita, just like an old friend. Lastly, receiving our photos was one of the most exciting days ever! We loved sitting down together and reminiscing our elopement, and the photos turned out even better than I could have imagined.
We have so many favorite photos! I am so happy that we have kept in touch afterwards and that she will be joining us for our party celebrating our elopement in the United States with our friends and family. I could go on and on about how much we love Rita, but you get the point! Just book with her because she is the absolute best! 😊"

elopement in Rome
what we're creating
A calm, guided, and fully present experience
From the moment we start working together, I take care of the flow of your day so you don’t have to think about timelines, logistics, or what comes next. I’ll gently guide you through the experience, keeping things natural and relaxed, while making sure we’re always in the right place at the right time. And if the weather shifts or plans need to change, I’ll already have alternatives in mind so you can simply enjoy the moment without stress.
Natural direction, never stiff posing
I know that being in front of a camera can feel a little unfamiliar at first. That’s completely normal. My way of working is very intuitive and relaxed—I’ll give you simple prompts, small suggestions, and space to just be together, so you can forget about “posing correctly” and focus on each other instead. It’s not about performance, it’s about connection.
Movement, fun, and little in-between moments
I love capturing the energy between moments as much as the moments themselves. When it feels right, I might create short, playful sequences or GIF-style clips that bring your experience to life in a more cinematic way—little fragments of your story in motion.
Thoughtfully edited, with care
Every image you receive is personally selected and edited by me. I don’t outsource this part of the process, because I want your gallery to feel cohesive, intentional, and true to the atmosphere of your day—almost like a visual story rather than a collection of images.
Your images, always yours
You’ll receive all of your carefully edited, high-resolution images in a private online gallery, ready to download, print, and share. I also include a web-optimised version, so you can easily share your favourites online or announce your elopement if you feel like it.
Optional heirloom album
If you’d like, you can also turn your story into a handcrafted album. You’ll be able to choose your favourite images, personalise the cover, and create something tangible that brings your elopement back to life every time you open it.

the kindest words
"We eloped in Rome in May of 2025 and after first seeing Rita's photography and then meeting with her we knew we were going with her right away. From start to finish she helped make everything as we envisioned - cake, flowers, champagne, recommendations, the hair and make up artist she referred - everything. Her communication was excellent, she was laid back and allowed us to enjoy our special day but captured us in such a beautiful way. We are forever grateful to have such beautiful memories captured on one of the most important days of our lives. We are obsessed with our photos! Thank you, Rita for EVERYTHING!"
"We couldn’t have asked for a better experience with Rita in Rome! From start to finish, she made us feel incredibly comfortable and at ease, even though we were a little nervous about being in front of the camera. She expertly navigated iconic locations we thought might be busy, creating an atmosphere that felt calm and intimate. There was never an awkward moment with anyone.
The photos exceeded all our expectations—the execution, editing, and delivery were absolutely flawless. She truly captured the magic of the moment and made our special occasion even more memorable. We’re so grateful to have these beautiful images to look back on and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a talented and thoughtful photographer!"
"We couldn't have asked for anyone better to capture our elopement. From the first video call to the day of, we knew Rita was definitely our people. She was so easy going, and the day flowed so well from start to finish. There wasn't a single thing we had to worry or stress over, which we will forever be grateful for. The bouquet she made was gorgeous and smelled amazing; and every recommendation from hair and make up to locations were so on point. Looking through our pictures, she truly captured who we are as a couple and some moments that were unexpectedly wonderful."
"Our photoshoot with Rita was the loveliest experience. The very next day after our elopement in Tivoli, we met in Piazza del Popolo for the newlywed pictures - Rita had us all relaxed, chatting about casual things, at the same time giving us enough space to feel very intimate while staring into each other's eyes. It was a perfect calm morning, filled with kisses, hugs and dancing - things that we wish we had more time for during the busy day of the ceremony itself. Photos got delivered very quickly, and they are, as all the others on this website, superb. I am so anxious to share them with members of our families that didn't make it to Italy for our wedding! They are our pure love caught in picture. Thank you Rita for sharing your great talent to grasp those perfect moments!"
