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 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!

When we decided that we wanted to get married in the beautiful Tuscany, we knew that we needed a photographer that would do the setting justice.
Jules stood out immediately to us because of his attention to detail, his creativity and his ability to capture the perfect moment. We fell in love with his portfolio and no one else compared.
Before the wedding, Jules took the time to meet and get to know us so that on the day he knew exactly what our vision was. He was honest and professional and, having just taken on the daunting task of planning a wedding abroad, we valued his advice and experience. We knew, without doubt, that he was going to do an amazing job.
On the day itself, Jules was outstanding. He knew the location already, which meant he could ensure the best angles and shots possible. This was invaluable to us and meant we could enjoy the day knowing that our photos were in safe hands.
The day wasn’t without its challenges, but Jules worked tirelessly to achieve the shots that we wanted. The end results are simply stunning and we couldn’t be happier with his work. Thanks for a fantastic experience Jules!

Jules was very professional and took amazing photos of our destination wedding in Italy.
He was not shy in telling people where to stand or staff how to arrange items so he could get a perfect shot.

Finding Jules might have been best thing that ever happened to us. My fiancé and I wanted to get married in Italy, and we decided to go for it about 8 days in advance.
We found Jules website and were blown away by the quality of his photographs, and we instantly knew he was who we wanted to work with to capture all the special moments on our wedding day. Jules and I emailed back and forth a few times, and he was always quick to respond, and was helpful and honest about everything I needed to know when planning a wedding in a place I had never been to before.
He understood that I was putting a lot of faith in him to guide me through the planning process, and he took that responsibility seriously. I liked him right away because I could feel how important it was to him, that we have the best day of our lives. He really wanted that for us. Jules has amazing contacts all over Italy, so after a few days of getting the basics in place, he brought in Simona (from Happy Brides) to help plan the rest of the details, and together we formed a wedding team that truly changed our lives.
All the way through the planning process I felt cared for and important. This was not just another wedding in a busy schedule for him, but it was an opportunity to help us live out our dream.
I am not someone who loves posing for pictures, and I am not overly comfortable being photographed but Jules made it a really fun experience for me. He was funny, and relaxed, and in control of the situation but always in a way that made me smile and feel like I was able to enjoy the attention. I felt like a celebrity for the day.
I can only speak for myself as the groom, but Jules took the part of the day I was least looking forward to, and made it a fun and memorable experience that I now cherish.
Earlier this week we got out pictures back, and once again we were blown away! After the wedding ceremony we were in a race against time to get as many good shots in good locations as we could before the sun went down. It was so much fun running around and getting in place, and having a special moment just in time to turn and run around somewhere else to do it again.
Again, Jules with his incredible eye for lighting was in control and put us in beautiful spots, and in our pictures I/we are laughing in half of them because it was so comfortable and so much fun. Almost every night this week wife and I have spent hours looking through all of Jules’s work, and the more I look at them, the more I appreciate him.
He is a special photographer, in a special country, and he captured our love and our day with such an amazing eye, I can’t thank him enough. We enjoyed this experience enough where we are already planning on going back to Italy in a few months and plan to call Jules just to hang out socially! We signed up for a wedding photographer and accidentally made a friend.
I recommend him with 100% of me and wish my experience on everyone who reads this.
Thank you for everything Jules! Without you, none of this could have happened. See you again soon my friend!

Jules provided the most unbelievable experience of our lives! If I could provide a 10 star review, I would. Jules supported me in planning every aspect of our elopement abroad.
I was lost as to what location would best provide the vibe we were hoping to achieve, and I fully entrusted Jules in leading the way. We were blown away with how our event turned out. Friends and family have all shared that the photos from our special day are extraordinary and truly encapsulate the emotion we experienced that day.
To see our friends and family become emotional while viewing our photos gives evidence to how gifted Jules really is. Jules has challenged the notion that family and friends have to “be there to experience it”.
My husband and I were completely at ease and we were able to focus our attention on being present with one another. Jules kept the day fun and allowed us to bring our own personalities to the table, while also offering enough structure to ease our nerves. His recommendations around where to stay and who could style my hair were top notch recommendations.
I can not stress enough how much I would recommend Jules to others. If you are searching for unforgettable photos- Jules is your guy.

For those who are thinking about having a destination wedding or elopement in Italy – please please chose Jules Bower as your professional wedding photographer!
Our big home wedding was cancelled due to COVID 19 and not wanting to plan everything all over again – my husband and I had decided to elope in Italy instead.
I first reached out to Jules via email and he responded right away. I told him what my vision was and he was quick to help us out with providing us with different options in venues and vendors. Everything went so smoothly in planning for our big day!
On our big day – Jules is someone who knows what he wants and he will 150% make sure you are getting thee best! We were literally chasing the sun making sure we got alll the shots possible!
My husband & I are very camera shy and when I got my pictures – I couldn’t be more happy with how everything turned out – our candid shots were our favorite. He was able to capture our relationship to the dot!
We were also surprised with how fast we got our pictures back 🙂 Just in time for the holidays!
If you guys are on the fence of eloping or doing a destination wedding in Italy – let me help you – just DO IT! You won’t regret working with Jules!
