Things To Consider If You Want To Rent A Castle In Italy
- Does the castle have accommodation or will you only be holding your wedding there for the day and then lodging elsewhere?
- Are there rain options or plan B solutions? We are hoping for perfect weather but if you are unlucky then you need to have a good alternative. Yes, you can also consider a marquee or tented structure but if the castle has its own indoor options they might be better and save you money.
- Are there any restrictions for the music or do you need to keep the noise down?
- In the rental agreement does it also stipulate and condition the choice of other providers? For instance, some venues only allow certain catering teams to work on their property.

- Can't recommend Jules enough! Neither my husband or I are comfortable in front of a camera, but Jules made us both at ease and got shots of us we never would have dreamed possible. The turnaround on getting the images ........Jade Beatson
Can’t recommend Jules enough! Neither my husband or I are comfortable in front of a camera, but Jules made us both at ease and got shots of us we never would have dreamed possible.
The turnaround on getting the images back to us was fast, he was super easy to work with and despite meeting him for the first time just the day before, he felt like one of our friends at our wedding. Jules, next time you’re in Scotland give us a shout for a beer!

Jules Bower is a fabulous photographer and was an integral part of our wedding weekend in Florence.
He was the ultimate professional, worked well with all our suppliers and most importantly produced breathtaking photos of what was and still is the best weekend of my life.
Thank you Jules and I could not recommend his services any higher.
It is worth checking out his website to see the quality of his service, as they say a picture says a 1000 words.

Jules’ service is outstanding and it has been a pleasure working with him and his assistant Sabrina.
Our journey started at local airbnb. While the makeup artist was busy preparing the bride, Jules spent hours searching for hidden alleys away from crowded tourist spots. The scenes and background were just amazing and authentic representation of the area. The photo shooting was also very efficient. Jules style was pretty natural. We were never asked to post awkwardly and hence the outcome was never disappointing.
The quality of the pictures was excellent. We especially liked the way Jules handpicked a highlight selection among thousands of photos he took. The turnaround time was good too. We really appreciated how flexible he was in delivering the beautiful photos. Six star services!
It was such an enjoyable experience. We knew we would talk and share about it forever in our life. Thank you, Jules and Sabrina!

If you are considering working with Jules, DO IT. We had the pleasure of being referred to Jules and several other photographers… Jules’ portfolio stood out from the get-go. We HAD to use him, it was clear.
He was absolutely wonderful from start to finish. We aren’t used to being photographed but Jules was amazing, and made us so comfortable. He helped us every step of the way, and was so easy to work with before hand, day of, and afterwards.
He caught us is the most amazing light, and so many candid photos that captured our day and really told a story. His work is top-notch and high class.
Day of the wedding, he was prompt and got to work, he let us know what he needed… wasn’t at all in the way and was a very fun and charming piece of our day. He captured so many important moments and memories that we had forgotten during the blur of the day.
We spent most of our time with him laughing when we took pictures off site. He made us feel so relaxed, confident and important that we still talk about how fun he was to work with.
The quality of the pictures blew us away. We had a reception weeks later at home and asked for a quick turnaround. He delivered the photos early, and the were WONDERFUL.
We were able to use them as a backdrop for our reception to help guests feel like they were there with us.
The compliments we get on the pictures keep coming… without hesitation, if you have an opportunity to work with him, go for it. He’s so easy to work with and the end result is something to treasure.

My wife and I eloped to Italy from the United States in September of 2023.
As we were looking for a wedding planner and photographer, the moment we communicated with Jules we immediately knew he was the one we wanted to guide us. From the start he was very thorough, gave us exact options of what we were looking for and made every decision we had to make so easy.
Not only was he so helpful with planning, his photography skills are amazing. He went above and beyond with making every photo perfect. We had a vision and Jules exceeded with every detail.
Our day was more beautiful then I could ever of imagined and our photos were breathtaking, all thanks to Jules.
