Why Elope on Isola del Garda?

1. A Secluded, Fairytale Setting

Isola del Garda is the largest island on Lake Garda and is only accessible by private boat. Eloping here means stepping into a storybook—just you, your partner, and nature’s beauty.

2. Stunning Backdrops for Every Moment

The island is home to Villa Borghese Cavazza, a romantic Venetian-style villa surrounded by lush gardens, terraces, and panoramic lake views. Every corner is made for intimate photos and quiet connection.

3. An Intimate, Intentional Experience

Elopements are about choosing intimacy over tradition. Whether you bring a few loved ones or just each other, this island offers the space and serenity to focus entirely on your love.

Best Time for an Elopement on Isola del Garda

The island is open for weddings and private events from May to October, with the best times being:

• Late May to Early July – Ideal for warm, sunny days and vibrant greenery.
• September to Early October – Soft light, fewer tourists, and golden tones in the landscape.

For the most magical photos, I always recommend planning your ceremony around sunrise or golden hour.

Elopement Photography on Isola del Garda

My goal as your elopement photographer is to create art that tells your story—authentic, emotional, and beautifully timeless.

I’ll guide you through the best hidden spots on the island, capture the quiet in-between moments, and make sure you feel completely at ease.

How to Plan Your Elopement on Isola del Garda

Getting There

The island is only accessible by boat from nearby towns like Sirmione, Salò, or Desenzano. A local planner or the island’s staff can help arrange private transfers.

Legal vs. Symbolic Ceremonies

Most couples choose a symbolic ceremony here for simplicity. If you’d like a legal ceremony in Italy, I can connect you with local planners who help in handling the paperwork.

Just the Two of You… or a Few Guests

Isola del Garda is perfect for both private elopements and micro weddings. It’s elegant, peaceful, and deeply romantic.

Why Work With Me as Your Elopement Photographer?

I specialize in elopements—and that’s an important distinction.

Photographing elopements is very different from photographing traditional weddings. It’s not just about showing up with a camera; it’s about understanding when to gently guide you, and when to step back and let the moment unfold naturally.

One of the biggest mistakes I see is turning an elopement into a rushed or overly staged photo shoot. And that’s exactly what I work to avoid.

My approach is intentional, calm, and experience-focused.
I won’t have you spending hours posing for photos or following a strict timeline. Instead, I’ll help create space for you to actually enjoy your day—whether you’re exchanging vows under a cypress tree, popping champagne on a boat, or walking barefoot through the gardens of Isola del Garda.

You deserve more than just beautiful images—you deserve real memories of the day you truly lived and felt. I’ll be there to document those memories honestly and artistically, without ever pulling you out of the moment.
