Q&A When Finding Your Italy Elopement Photographers

How far in advance should we book a photographer?

Popular Italy elopement photographers book up quickly, especially during peak seasons. It’s best to secure your photographer 6-12 months in advance to ensure availability.

How Much Should You Spend on an Elopement Photographer?

Photographers in Italy will vary, depending on what you want and what they offer in their photography packages. In Italy, you’ll find photographers charging from 2500 €- 8000 € for elopement coverage. The main determining factor to the price is how many hours the photographer will be working with you both and where your location in Italy is (this includes how far the location is from them initially PLUS how long it takes to get to the actual location when hiking). The more you want to cover, the higher the price.

Here are some examples:

  • Commitment ceremony photos at 1 location and portraits after the ceremony – $2,000
  • Elopement ceremony with loved ones plus portraits at 2 additional locations near the ceremony – $4,500
  • Elopement ceremony in one of Italy’s national parks with portraits after at multiple locations all day, with additional portraits the following day at a separate location. – $8,000

Keep in mind these are estimates and every photographer has their prices set.

Why are Elopement Photographers so Expensive and What’s Included in the Fee?

Elopement photographers are more hands-on and tend to wear more “hats” when compared to traditional wedding photographers. Their elopement packages tend to also include additional services built in. When you’re meeting with your photographer, it’s important to ask, “What’s included in your Italy elopement package?”

Here are some items to go over during your meeting besides how long they are going to be with you taking photos:

  • Travel expenses
  • Location scouting
  • Timeline planning
  • Permit and leave no trace guidance
  • Set up and take down assistance for decorations
  • Officiant and witness protocol
  • Multi-day elopement adventure
  • Inclusive packages with all vendors you’ll need
  • Guidance for travel and accommodations
  • Wedding albums

Keep in mind that not all photographers will include everything in this list in their packages. Some of them might offer different tier options and some photographers may just offer traditional photo coverage.

Do I Need More Than a Photographer for My Italy Elopement?

This depends on what YOU want on your wedding day. We have had plenty of couples hire only a photographer (and videographer), and they had an amazing time.

With that being said, you can 100% outsource and hire more elopement vendors to help you. Even though you are eloping, you can still hire a wedding planner, officiant, videographer, florist… You can even “elope” at a wedding venue in Italy! The sky’s the limit.

Explore our elopement directory to team up with a vendor in a different category OR ask your designated Italy photographer who they recommend.

How do we choose the right elopement photographer in Italy?

Start by looking at portfolios to find a style that resonates with you—whether it’s moody, documentary, or editorial. Read reviews, ask about their experience with elopements, and ensure their personality is a good fit since they’ll be with you for most of the day!

What questions should we ask before booking?
  • How many elopements have you photographed in Italy?
  • Do you help with location scouting and permits?
  • What’s included in your packages?
  • Do you have backup plans for bad weather?
  • How long will it take to receive our photos?
What if we don’t speak Italian?

Many photographers in Italy speak English, especially those who specialize in elopements. However, if you need help communicating with local vendors, your photographer may be able to assist.
