Day One: A Sunset Adventure Along the Amalfi Coast by Boat
Before the vows, happy tears, and heartfelt toasts, Alexis and Blake kicked off their elopement with a sunset adventure session on a private luxury boat—a perfect prelude to their intimate wedding in Italy.
We set sail from Positano, cruising along the glittering coastline all the way to the dramatic cliffs of Fiordo di Furore, one of the most iconic views in southern Italy. As we passed lemon groves, hillside villages, and secret sea caves, the boat’s captain shared stories about the coast and poured champagne for a mid-journey toast.
With golden light bouncing off the Tyrrhenian Sea and the wind in their hair, Alexis and Blake watched the sun melt behind the cliffs of Positano. This magical evening perfectly set the tone for their Amalfi Coast elopement experience—equal parts adventure, elegance, and connection.
Day Two: The Elopement Day in Furore, Italy
The next morning began slowly and sweetly at a romantic Italian villa in Furore—a peaceful cliffside village nestled between Amalfi and Praiano, often missed by tourists but perfect for a quiet, meaningful elopement day.
Getting Ready in the Villa
As sunlight poured through open balcony doors, Alexis got ready with the help of her sister-in-law and mother. Her mom handed her a handwritten letter and her grandmother’s ring—her “something borrowed” that felt deeply significant.
Before seeing Blake, Alexis shared an emotional first look with her father and brother, surrounded by the sounds of the sea below and birdsong echoing from the cliffs.
Ceremony on the Terrace Overlooking the Sea
Their ceremony took place on a private terrace overlooking the Tyrrhenian Sea, with loved ones gathered in soft silence as they exchanged vows. The view was unreal—sweeping coastlines, the scent of salt air, and a gentle breeze carrying their words into the hills.

Amalfi Coast Elopement Brunch & Heartfelt Moments
After the ceremony, guests enjoyed an espresso and cocktail hour while private chefs prepared a celebratory Italian brunch on the terrace. The spread included fresh pastries, a wide selection of traditional dishes, custom omelets, and prosecco.
Laughter filled the air as everyone sat together—chatting, savoring, and soaking up the moment.
Then came the dances—starting with a romantic first dance, followed by a teary father-daughter moment and a sweet mother-son dance. These were the moments that made the day so memorable.
And the cake? Still dreaming of it. It was hands-down the best wedding cake in Amalfi I’ve ever tasted—soft, flavorful, and absolutely stunning.
Villa Cimbrone Elopement Portraits in Ravello & Positano Sunset Finale
In the late afternoon, we traveled up to the enchanting town of Ravello for portraits in the Villa Cimbrone gardens. This iconic venue is a favorite for couples planning an Amalfi Coast elopement, with its medieval pathways, sea-view terraces, and fairytale gardens.
Alexis and Blake explored the grounds hand in hand, dancing beneath cypress trees, walking through castle arches, and soaking in the panoramic views from the Terrazza dell’Infinito—a spot that lives up to its name.
That evening, they headed back to Positano for a romantic dinner at Rada, a cliffside restaurant carved into the rocks right above the sea. As the stars began to twinkle and Positano lit up behind them, we captured lantern-lit portraits to close the night.

From our first email over a year ago to that final sunset in Positano, being your Amalfi Coast elopement photographer was one of the greatest honors. Alexis, you’ve become more than a bride—you’re a friend. Planning this journey together was such a joy.
