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.

We’d like to start off with thanking Jules again for the experience and beautiful photos we get to appreciate every day.
The actual elopement shoot experience was unexpectedly as equally cherished as the photos we have. I had expressed to Jules beforehand how uncomfortable and awkward I had felt with the idea of doing a shoot in a dress especially in the outdoors, in public and honestly it was daunting me. However, Jules was so amazing at making us both feel really comfortable, focus on each other and just take in the moment and enjoy the whole process.
On a practical note, Jules was consistently communicative, alert, and punctual throughout the entire process. He would often check in with us and offered a range of planning resources and ideas. His eye for detail is astounding, he was an absolute joy to work with. On the day, he effortlessly navigated us through different locations and areas and knew when to blend into the background and when to assert himself to get the best pictures. We cannot express how beautiful the photos came out, it was exactly what we had imagined and wanted and we are so grateful that Jules was able to execute that.
If you value memories and timeless beautiful photography and want someone who is a master of their craft and a true professional all-round, look no further.
Plus, he offers something that not all photographers can – true flexibility. Our wedding was postponed due to COVID and Jules did not miss a beat, even thoughtfully sending us emails assuring us the shoot would continue despite the unfortunate delay!
We will treasure these photos and memories forever.

Working with Jules has been amazing. Having to plan a wedding entirely from across the world could have been stressful but Jules definitely made the process so much easier and stress free. He took the time to get to know us, what we envisioned and then made awesome recommendations for location, set up, flowers, stylist and etc.
He was available every step of the way and quick to respond. He ensured all the details were addressed without asking.
On the day of the wedding, he was not only our photographer, but coordinator, witness, and friend.We entrusted him with the process and not only did he deliver amazing pictures displaying his talents at lighting speed, he made our day super special just being present and guiding us.
Absolutely would recommend Jules to our friends and family. Awaiting to hire Jules for our anniversary.

Jules was everything we wanted in a photographer for our elopement in Tuscany. From the initial Zoom meeting to the way he handled the vendors when we experienced rain leading up to our ceremony was nothing short of professional and first class. (It doesn’t hurt that he’s also a fun person to be around…super laid back and great at his profession).
The purpose of the elopement was to eliminate the stress of a large wedding. In addition to meeting up the day before and reviewing our photo locations, he spent nearly the full day with us on our special day, and provided more than 1,000 shots for us.
We decided not to have a first look before the ceremony, and Jules knew just where to go to take advantage of the perfect light before sunset. It’s amazing how many photos we were able to capture in such a short amount of time after the ceremony. We are so thankful for Jules, and providing us pictures that we will have for a lifetime!!

Jules instilled a sense of ease, confidence, and fun in each area from the organization and timing of our wedding day all the way through the beautiful finished product he offered us. A true professional in every sense.
He knew when to offer more presence and helpful humor, as well as when to create space for the moment to unfold. Would highly recommend and hope to work with him again someday!

If you have the chance to have Jules photograph your wedding, do it… Right now. We had our ceremony in Ravello, Italy in July 2022 (setting the stage, so that you fully understand how hot it was).
It was an intimate ceremony so just myself, my groom, and some family members – I did not have bridesmaids or anyone to help with other tasks. Jules was truly a Jack of all trades on this day – not only giving us great customer service by taking AMAZING photos, but also moving around clothes, furniture, accessories, giving us bug spray, and communicating with the hotel staff to ensure that our day (and photos!) went as smoothly as possible. Jules was professional, punctual, and thoughtful the entire day & evening that he was with us.
After about 15 minutes of taking photos in the extreme heat & humidity, it would have been easy to give up – but Jules was there to take photographs, so he hyped us up, gave us energy, and made us feel like we could really take beautiful photos even though we were hot, fatigued, and ready for cold beverages.
We took photos at hidden gem locations that only the eye of a legendary photographer like Jules could find. Fast forward to less than 48 hours later, Jules had already selected, edited, and sent me all the photos in an easy-to-access format. Now, the best part: The photos. They were utterly stunning and perfect.
I couldn’t imagine having any more gorgeous photos from our special day that captured our feelings, the atmosphere, and the beautiful location. We were so lucky to have found Jules and had him patiently guide us through the photography process on our special day in beautiful Italy.
