Elegant, feminine and editorial portraits for women in Monaco and the French Riviera.
Private photo sessions in Monte-Carlo, on the Côte d’Azur and in the most beautiful hotels, villas and outdoor locations.
More than a photoshoot
You don’t need another set of ordinary portraits.
This is a private editorial experience created around you — your style, your personality and the way you want to be seen.
Whether you imagine elegant portraits in Monte-Carlo, a fashion-inspired session on the Riviera, or something more intimate and sensual in the privacy of your hotel suite, every session is carefully planned to feel natural and look exceptional.

About me
I’m Ale, a photographer, elopement planner and experience creator in Italy, specializing in proposals, elopements and intimate weddings.
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 experience in planning proposals, elopements and weddings, 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 experience in different formats.
You don’t need to worry about how to pose or where to look. I gently guide you while keeping the experience natural, candid and 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 create a seamless experience.
What I bring to your elopement:
- Proposal, elopement and wedding photography
- Location planning and logistical support
- Natural, candid and cinematic storytelling
- Hasselblad digital photography + 35mm film photography
- Cinematic video
- Personal creative direction and gentle posing guidance
- Assistant and trusted team when needed

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.
