Dolomites Elopement
Photographer
you're ditching tradition and choosing to elope in the dolomites INSTEAD? Love it already
You still want the dress, the suit, maybe some flowers and all the little details that make it feel like a wedding. But instead of rushing through a packed wedding day, you want to get ready slowly in an Italian hotel in northern Italy with an insane view, explore the Dolomites, and privately say your vows somewhere that feels like it's just yours.
You want the really good views, the hidden gems, and a day that feels intentional without feeling overly planned.
Basically, you want to get married without feeling like you're at a wedding all day.
But after hours down the elopement rabbit hole and 80 pins later, you don’t feel any more prepared.. just completely overwhelmed.
Eloping doesnt mean winging it
That’s why I exist: as your Dolomites Elopement Photographer, im here to make this badass choice feel easy.
Hidden gems, local stays and a timeline created specifically for YOUR elopement day- YEP I got it!
If this is the energy you’ve been hunting for in your Dolomites elopement photographer...Hey, im jESS
Your wedding day shouldn't feel like something you're just trying to get through.
It should feel like you.
Maybe that means hiking to a mountain summit. But let's be honest, I don't do anything over 3 miles because ya girl has way too much camera gear to be pretending she's on Survivor.
Or maybe your perfect day looks like grabbing coffee in a tiny Italian town, reading your vows by in a meadow, chasing sunset on a mountain overlook, or ending the night grabbing gelato.
Whatever it looks like, it should feel like the two of you.
That's why I love the Dolomites. Mountains, meadows, hidden spots, and plenty of room to make your elopement day your own without someone telling you how your wedding is "supposed" to look.
I'm not here to turn your day into one long photoshoot. I'm here to help you plan something that actually feels fun, keep things laid back, and document every laugh, happy tear, and "holy shit, we actually did this" moment.
If you're the kind of couple who likes doing things your own way, I have a feeling we're going to get along just fine.
Its more than just 'I DO'

'Shes so much more than a photographer. I truly think of her as a friend and someone who witnessed the best day of our lives.'
"'WOW WOW WOW is seriously the only words I have to describe our time with Jess. She makes you feel so comfortable and knows exactly how to make you feel confident and really take in the moments. Her work speaks for itself and I was blown away by the moments she captured during our day. I cannot wait until I have a reason to book her again. Shes so much more than a photographer. I truly think of her as a friend and someone who witnessed the best day of our lives.

'She takes her job seriously and leaves no stones unturned. You can completely trust that she’s got you covered '
"I can’t say enough good things about working with Jess. She photographed our elopement this past June and I couldn’t have been happier with the photos. She captured the day perfectly. Aside from her creative talent, Jess was amazing to work with. She is a true professional. She takes her job seriously and leaves no stones unturned. You can completely trust that she’s got you covered (which is a Bride’s dream). She also sent an adorable “thank you” package which was unexpected and so sweet. I highly highly recommend Jess to capture any of your special moments."

'SHe does more than just take a photo'
"Where do I even start! Jess captured our wedding and to say we were obsessed in an understatement. She was so helpful during the planning process right through to wedding day. She does more than just 'take a photo', she put out fires before I even knew about them, she bustled my dress when my hooks weren't working.. she's just all around the best person to have in your corner on your wedding day!"

Frequently asked questions
1. Where can you photograph Elopements in the Dolomites
3. Whats the best time of year to Elope in the dolomites
4. Can you help us choose our Dolomites Elopement location?
2. Do we need a permit to Elope in the Dolomites
5. How far do we have to hike for a Dolomites Elopement?
The Dolomites are quite literally HUGE and the possibilities are endless. You can elope throughout the Dolomites, from iconic spots like Lago di Braies, Cadini di Misurina, Seceda, and Passo Gardena to lesser-known mountain views and locations. I’ll help you choose spots that fit your vision, hiking comfort, timeline, and the kind of experience you want your elopement to feel like.
For most small, symbolic elopements, you typically won't need a permit, but it depends on the specific location and what you're planning to do. Some areas, including certain parks and private locations, may have their own permits, fees, access rules, or restrictions, so I'll help you figure out what applies to your chosen locations before your day.
Honestly? There isnt one specific season. It depends on what youre looking for and how you want your elopement day to unfold.
Summer is beautiful weather, fall is crisp air and fall colors, winter is adventurous and spring is a little mix of summer and winter. Once we start to narrow down the vibe of your day the season and time of year come naturally.
You get to decide how adventurous you want your day to feel. Some of the most beautiful spots require only a short walk, while others involve a moderate hike for more privacy and dramatic scenery. I help you choose locations that match your comfort level, abilities, and the overall vibe you want, so you never feel pushed beyond what feels fun and doable for you.
