To help you navigate this special time, we’ve compiled a list of frequently asked questions that cover everything from ideal locations to photography tips.
Whether you’re looking for creative proposal ideas or guidance on choosing the right photographer, these insights will assist you in making your experience unforgettable.
How far in advance should we book our engagement photographer?
It’s recommended to book your engagement photographer at least 3 to 6 months in advance, especially during peak wedding season in Italy. Many clients visit Italy for wedding planning trips to view venues, meet caterers, florists, and other vendors. This is a perfect opportunity to schedule your engagement shoot, allowing you to capture beautiful moments together while exploring your chosen locations and making important decisions for your big day.
What time of day is best for engagement photos in Italy?
The best time for engagement photos is during the golden hour, which is about an hour after sunrise or an hour before sunset, providing soft, flattering light. Additionally, early morning dawn shoots can be fantastic in the summer, as you can enjoy the golden light before other people start their day, allowing for a peaceful and intimate atmosphere in popular cities.
Can we include our pets in the engagement photoshoot?
Yes! Many couples choose to include their pets in their engagement photos. Just be sure to inform your photographer in advance to plan accordingly.
How do we choose the right photographer for our engagement or proposal?
Look for a photographer whose style resonates with you, check their portfolio, and schedule a consultation to discuss your vision and comfort level.
What is the average cost of engagement photography in Italy?
The average cost for engagement photography in Italy typically ranges from €500 to €2,500, depending on the photographer’s experience and the duration of the shoot.
How can we make our proposal unique in Italy?
Consider planning a surprise proposal during a romantic gondola ride in Venice, a sunset picnic in Tuscany, or a private boat trip on Lake Como for a memorable experience.
What should we wear for our engagement photoshoot?
Choose outfits that reflect your personal style and complement the location. Coordinating colors and comfortable clothing will help create beautiful images. Remember: what you wear speaks volumes about who you are so make sure you feel confident with your outfit.
Do I need a permit for an engagement photoshoot in Italy?
Permits may be required for professional photography in certain public locations or popular tourist spots. It’s best to check with local authorities or your photographer. Generally if it’s out in the open no. If we are heading inside a villa or palace then a fee or ticket can be required.
How long does an engagement photoshoot typically last?
An engagement photoshoot usually lasts between 1 to 2 hours, depending on the chosen locations and the number of outfit changes.
What are the best locations for engagement photos in Italy?
The best locations for engagement photos in Italy include the romantic streets of Venice, the picturesque hills of Tuscany, and the stunning shores of Lake Como.

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!
