Getting married in Italy: live your dream on the Amalfi Coast, on Lake Como or in Tuscany
Italy is a land of beauty, culture, and timeless romance. From the dramatic cliffs of the Amalfi Coast to the refined elegance of Lake Como and the rolling hills of Tuscany, it offers some of the most iconic settings for a destination wedding.
I’m Elia Vaccaro, a wedding photographer based in Naples since 2005. I work mostly with international couples who choose Italy for an intimate, elegant celebration.
My style brings together two ways of seeing: documentary and fashion.
The documentary side tells your day as it really unfolds. I move quietly, choose my angles, work with the light, and wait. Then I shoot. And shoot again. Frame by frame, the story of your day takes shape.
Fashion, which I have always photographed, shapes the portraits: a few minutes, a carefully chosen spot, the right light and the elegance of an editorial shoot. Without ever stopping the celebration.
Fashion, not fads.
Authenticity still guides everything I do: even in the most styled portrait, I look for your emotions first. Spontaneous expressions, real gestures, honest poses: you, as you truly are.
Whether you are planning an elopement in Ravello or a wedding in a historic villa on Lake Como, my team and I will be by your side to tell your story with care, discretion, and timeless style.
Let’s get to know each other: tell me about yourselves,
and find out if I’m the person you’re looking for.
Photographer by vocation, storyteller by sensibility.
I came to photography almost by chance, through a 1972 Olympus OM-1 my uncle gave me, and I learned on film. I was studying the conservation of cultural heritage, and the camera became another way of doing the same thing: preserving what matters.
Since then I have photographed weddings and fashion, and in my work the two paths meet: every couple gets a story made to measure.
I have never left film behind: if you wish, alongside the digital coverage, I can also photograph your wedding on 35 mm and 6×6 medium format film.
Because the real story of a wedding begins before the first shot.

Your smiles, tears of joy, hugs.
The play of light, true-to-life tones, chiaroscuro. A wedding at the Grand Hotel Furore, on the Amalfi Coast, told just as it was: without artifice.
My wedding photography service
in Italy
I photograph weddings in Naples, on the Amalfi Coast and all over Italy. It always starts with listening: who you are, what you hope for, where you are getting married, the wishes you voice and the ones you only hint at. From there I shape my proposal, built around your day rather than a fixed formula.

Couple Shoot
Natural, evocative pictures. I tell the story of a moment of yours: an encounter, a journey, a proposal. With the elegance of my portraits.

Wedding Photography
A discreet documentary of your day and portraits with the elegance of fashion: one complete story in pictures. Film photography on request.

Wedding Make-Up
Before the shot comes the preparation. A beautiful portrait needs equally careful make-up, and on this I can give you plenty of advice.

Wedding Video
If you wish, I pair the photography with video: short moving stories about your happiness and that of your guests.
Naturalness, elegance and timeless storytelling
Authenticity in photography is never about performance. It comes from observation, patience and respect for what is truly happening.
My approach is based on natural light, honest emotions and a quiet presence throughout the wedding day. I focus on balance, atmosphere and emotional coherence: real colors, nothing forced.



A photograph captures a moment, but its real value is revealed over time. The goal is not to follow trends, but to tell your story in a way that will still feel meaningful and authentic years from now.
If you are looking for a wedding photographer in Italy who will show you as you truly are. If you believe true elegance needs no pretense. If you want to relive your wedding every time you look at your photographs.
We have a lot in common.
