Imagine a day that belongs only to two of you.
Start it in the heart of the Dolomites — surrounded by dramatic peaks, fresh alpine air, and silence that feels unreal. Walk through wide mountain meadows, take a cable car to breathtaking panoramic viewpoints, and exchange your vows above the clouds. Then slow down by a crystal-clear lake, where wooden boats and reflections of the mountains create a perfect romantic atmosphere.

Sample Itinerary — Dolomites Elopement Experience | Lake Braies & Cadini Group
7:00 AM — Lake Braies private start
We begin early at Lake Braies, when the lake is calm and the atmosphere feels almost unreal. Your vows take place at the private boathouse dock, with wooden boats, turquoise water, and dramatic Dolomite peaks behind you. No crowds — just the two of you and the silence of the mountains.
8:00 AM — Boat experience & lakeside photos
After the ceremony, we take a private boat ride and capture intimate, natural moments on the water. Then we continue with a relaxed photo session along the lake trail, discovering different views, small waterfalls, and hidden corners around Lake Braies.
09:30–17:00 — Break
17:00 AM — Cadini Group & Tre Cime — iconic mountain viewpoints
Next, we drive toward Cadini Group — one of the most iconic mountain areas near Tre Cime. Sharp peaks, breathtaking viewpoints, and pure alpine energy make this the perfect place to bring your story higher above the clouds.

About me
I’m Ale
Photographer, experience planner and storyteller in Italy, specializing in proposals, elopements and creative fine art projects.
In 2025, I fell in love with the idea of elopements. It’s pure, intimate and real — no pressure, no crowds, no performance. Just two people and a moment that belongs only to them.
My background in proposal and elopement planning, combined with a creative approach, helps me turn your day into an emotional story with a cinematic feel.
I work with a Hasselblad X2D, and also offer 35mm film photography and cinematic video when you want to preserve the moment in different formats.
You don’t need to worry about how to pose or where to look. I gently guide you while keeping everything relaxed. Psychology and calm energy are an important part of my approach.
I can also help with location selection, timing, logistics and the overall planning of your elopement or proposal. I work with an assistant and, when needed, a trusted team to help shape your day.
What you can expect:
- Planning your day
- Natural and candid photography with a creative touch
- Hasselblad digital + 35mm film photography
- Cinematic video
- An assistant to support you on the day

FAQ
What should we know before the elopement?
It depends on the package you choose. I will help you select the best locations in the Dolomites and create a beautiful itinerary for your day.
If you choose the second package, I will fully organize your experience — including logistics, cable car rides (if needed), and the photo session at the best iconic spots. All you need to do is choose your outfits: light and neutral colors look best in the Dolomites.
Can we choose the all-inclusive package but change the itinerary?
Yes, absolutely. If you choose the second all-inclusive package, we can fully customize the itinerary based on your preferences. I will suggest the best alternative locations, create a new plan for your day, and organize everything the same way — including boat/yacht rental, logistics, and the full photo experience. Your elopement should feel personal and unique, exactly the way you imagine it.
Can we shorten the itinerary or skip some parts of the experience?
Yes, absolutely. Package 2 — Luxury All-Inclusive Elopement Experience in the Dolomites is designed as a 5-hour experience and usually includes several locations, such as mountain viewpoints, a cable car ride, and a lake photoshoot. However, the itinerary is always flexible and can be customized to your comfort — we can shorten the time, skip one part of the experience, or focus on what matters most to you. In this case, we will also adjust the package price depending on the selected itinerary.
What if the weather is bad?
If the forecast is truly bad (heavy rain or storm), we can reschedule the session by ±2 days, depending on availability.
Can we bring guests?
Yes, up to 4 guests can join free of charge. They can be present at the villa and take part in part of the photoshoot. Guests arrange their own transportation.
Are optional experiences priced per person?
Yes. Some optional experiences (such as fine dining at OMNIA restaurant or extra printed magazine copies) are priced per person or per quantity. If guests would like to join, the total cost may change. All updated prices are always confirmed with you before booking.
Do we need to book the photoshoot, villa, or boat in advance?
Yes, especially during the busy season. Dolomites dates fill up quickly, popular locations and time slots are limited, and my photography calendar is usually booked well in advance. I’ll guide you through the booking process and make everything smooth — without last-minute stress.
Do you work only in the Dolomites?
No. I also shoot on Lake Garda, Lake Como, Venice, Verona, and many other locations across Italy.
Can we keep our photos private?
Yes, you can keep your photos completely private. I normally use selected images for portfolio and marketing, but full privacy is available on request with a 50% privacy fee.
