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.

Jules handled our photography in Florence for our wedding. The photos came out PERFECT and more than we could imagine!!!! We worked with him prior to the wedding from the USA via email and zoom and everything went off great!!! The only thing I would have done differently was to hire his wife also as a wedding planner. I thought it was going to be easier and it would have saved me a few grey hairs!!!
Don’t think twice about hiring Jules – everyone I spoke to kept asking “How did you find Jules? He is the best”
THANKS A MILLION Jules!!!

He made us feel at ease, gave superb instructions, and took AMAZING photos! Thank you Jules!

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.

Our elopement in Italy was magical, thanks to Jules and his incredible team. Throughout our entire experience Jules was quick to share recommendations, connect us with personal contacts, and did everything to make sure our intimate elopement dreams both came true and were captured.
Jules made sure everything was coordinated the day-of and made this a seamless, stress-free, beautiful moment in time that we will remember forever …and I haven’t even gotten to the photos yet! The pictures were not only some of the most beautiful pieces of art I’ve ever seen, but they capture the magic in a way that is priceless.
Jules did an amazing job of making me feel at ease and cared for throughout the experience – I am forever grateful that we found him and had the privilege of working with him and his incredible team of beautiful people.
They made us feel special, cared for, and I wouldn’t change a thing. It felt like a family affair and I am still blown away at how they came together to make our dreams come true.
