Italy Elopement at Rocca Calascio Castle

If you've followed my work for any amount of time, you know that I absolutely geek out every time I get the chance to explore a new castle ruin! There's something about the history of these majestic structures—what they once were and how grand they must have been—that truly fascinates me. I can’t help but try to imagine what it was like to live there, how different life must have been for our ancestors compared to our fast-paced modern lives. Another reason I’m drawn to castles is that they’re often located in some of the most picturesque places, offering incredible views that make them even more magical.

Rocca Calascio, located in Italy, is undoubtedly one of the highest and most awe-inspiring castles I’ve ever had the privilege of visiting. Perched on a mountaintop, it offers sweeping, panoramic views of the surrounding landscape that make it an unforgettable location. As an elopement photographer, I thrive on capturing couples in unique and dramatic settings, and Rocca Calascio was the perfect backdrop for such an intimate occasion. The towering walls of the castle and its historical grandeur made it one of my favorite places to photograph, and I hope to return again in the future!

The second I knew I was heading to Italy, I immediately began planning a trip to Rocca Calascio. I was beyond excited to photograph an elopement in such an iconic location. When I arrived, I had the privilege of working with a fantastic couple who were just as thrilled as I was to explore the castle grounds. Together, we created timeless images that perfectly captured the romance and beauty of the moment.

I hope these photos inspire you to consider Italy as a destination for your own elopement. There’s something so magical about exchanging vows at a castle like Rocca Calascio, with stunning views that will forever be etched in your memories. If you dream of a destination elopement in Italy, I'd be honored to document your love story. Let’s create unforgettable memories and capture your adventure in one of the most beautiful and historic locations in the world.
