Book a Wedding Photoshoot
in the Dolomites

For peak wedding season (May through October), we strongly recommend booking 6-12 months in advance, especially for Saturday weddings at popular venues. Italy's top wedding photographers often have their prime summer dates booked a full year ahead, particularly in sought-after regions like the Amalfi Coast, Siena, and Val d'Orcia. For off-season weddings (November through April), you'll have more flexibility and may find availability with 2-3 months notice. Weekday weddings also tend to have better photographer availability year-round. When you find a photographer you love on Photo Italy, secure your date with a deposit to lock in their availability — the earlier you book, the wider your selection of top-rated professionals.

Most destination wedding couples book 8-12 hours of photography coverage, which captures the complete story from getting-ready preparations through the ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner, speeches, first dance, and party. For more intimate weddings (under 30 guests) or shorter celebrations, 6 hours of coverage may be sufficient to capture all the key moments. Full-day packages of up to 16 hours are available for extended celebrations that start with morning preparations and continue through a late-night party or after-party. When estimating your needs, consider adding a buffer of 1-2 hours beyond what you think you'll need — the candid moments between events are often the most treasured. Your Photo Italy photographer will help you build a realistic photography timeline during your pre-wedding consultation.

Yes — Photo Italy photographers cover weddings across the entire country, from the northern Lake Como region to the southern Amalfi Coast, and even the islands of Sicily and Sardinia. Travel within the photographer's home region (typically a 50-80km radius) is included in standard packages at no extra charge. For weddings in other regions — for example, a Rome-based photographer traveling to an Amalfi Coast venue — a small travel fee may apply to cover transport and accommodation. This fee is always shown upfront and transparently in each photographer's package listing, so there are no surprises. Many photographers also offer multi-day packages for destination weddings that include a rehearsal dinner shoot or day-after session, which is especially popular for international couples hosting a wedding weekend in Italy.

Professional photoshoots in the Dolomites start from €319. Packages vary by duration and the number of edited photos, from a short session on one meadow to a half-day that takes in a cable car and two valleys. Lift tickets and mountain transport are separate — agree them with your photographer when you book.

Alpe di Siusi for meadows with the Sassolungo behind them, Lago di Braies for the wooden boats and turquoise water, Seceda and the Val Gardena ridges for the sharpest skyline in the range, Tre Cime di Lavaredo for the three peaks, and the passes — Sella, Gardena, Giau — for frames you reach without a hike. Your photographer will pick one valley per session; the range is far bigger than it looks on a map.

Late June to September gives green meadows, wildflowers and open mountain roads; the second half of October turns the larches gold; from late December to March everything is snow. Within the day, the first hour after sunrise is the calm one — afternoon storms are normal in July and August, and by ten the light on pale rock is hard.
