Meet your Puglia Wedding Photographer

Hello, I am Paola.

Behind the lens, I’m not just a photographer but also a mom who understands the value of every moment. Curiosity has always driven my life, and the desire to discover new things is what wakes me up every morning. I’ve been a traveler for as long as I can remember, and since 2020, exploring the world with my curious daughter and beloved husband has been the greatest gift life could offer me.

I approach both my projects and daily life with values such as kindness, generosity, professionalism, care, and respect. In my photography sessions, I strive to capture genuine moments, avoiding forced poses and instead focusing on eliciting and preserving authentic emotions. I provide gentle guidance, allowing moments to unfold naturally while embracing fluidity and spontaneity.

Your Puglia Wedding - Itinerary

For your Puglia elopement wedding, I offer two sample itineraries that can be customized to fit your preferences and dreams. Whether you choose the golden light of sunrise or the romantic hues of sunset, your Puglia wedding will be unforgettable.

4-Hour Sunrise Elopement (Timing varies by season, approximately 5:30 AM – 9:30 AM)

5:30 AM – Getting ready at your hotel or villa
6:15 AM – First Look & transfer to your vow exchange location (options: panoramic cliff, seaside terrace, Lama Monachile beach, little beach)
6:45 AM – Sunrise ceremony, as the first light kisses the Adriatic Sea
7:15 AM – Strolling through the quiet, empty streets of the old town for a romantic photoshoot
8:15 AM – Italian breakfast (optional)
9:00 AM – Last photos in the soft morning light & end of your Puglia wedding

Polignano is magical at dawn, peaceful, intimate, and bathed in soft golden light. With fewer people around, you can enjoy the town’s most iconic locations in total privacy. This itinerary can also include a morning boat tour or a toast on a scenic terrace for a truly unforgettable start to your new journey together.

4-Hour Sunset Elopement (Timing varies by season, approximately 5:00 PM – 9:00 PM)

5:00 PM – Getting ready at your hotel or villa
6:00 PM – First Look & transfer to the vow exchange location (options: panoramic cliff, seaside terrace, Lama Monachile beach, little beach)
6:30 PM – Sunset ceremony, as the sky turns golden and pink over the Adriatic
7:00 PM – Romantic walk through the whitewashed streets and scenic cliffside spots for photos
8:00 PM – Relaxing moment with an optional celebratory toast
9:00 PM – Final sunset shots & end of your Puglia wedding

Golden Hour in Polignano creates an enchanting atmosphere, with warm light reflecting off the cliffs and the sea. This time of day is perfect for capturing cinematic, emotion-filled moments and can be tailored to include a boat ride along the coast or a romantic dinner in a sea cave restaurant.

Your Puglia Wedding - Comments

There is the possibility to reschedule your Puglia wedding by +-2 days. During high season, rescheduling may require adjustments to the timing due to the photographer’s existing commitments.

The itinerary can be modified as you wish. Breakfast or toast is not mandatory, of course, and we can discuss and plan what feels most suitable for you. If you’d love to add a boat experience, I’m happy to arrange it—whether for a romantic coastal tour or a refreshing swim in the crystal-clear waters of Polignano a Mare. Everything can be customized to create your perfect Puglia wedding for you. It’s your special day, and I’m here to help make it exactly as you envision it!

LGBTQ-friendly: Love is love! I am 100% supportive of the LGBTQ+ community and proudly document all love stories!

There is a possibility to get legally married: A legal marriage requires specific bureaucratic procedures that must be completed in advance. A legal wedding cannot be arranged spontaneously as part of your Puglia wedding, but with the right preparation, it is possible. To have a legal civil wedding in Italy, you must:

• Request marriage banns at the local municipality (for Italian citizens)
• Provide the required documents, including valid IDs, birth certificates, and any additional paperwork if needed
• Have the ceremony performed by a civil officer in a town hall or legally recognized venue (not on a cliff)

I can connect you with a trusted wedding planner I work with. She can handle all the necessary paperwork and bureaucratic procedures. This service is available at an additional cost, to be arranged directly with her.

Many couples choose to legally marry in their home country and then enjoy a symbolic and romantic elopement in Italy, free from bureaucratic concerns. Whatever your choice, I’m happy to help you find the best solution for your dream Puglia wedding.

Your Puglia Wedding - Tips & Info

• The nearest airport is Bari Karol Wojtyła Airport (BRI), located about 30 minutes away by car. You can reach Polignano a Mare by train, or rent a car if you’d like to explore the surrounding area.
• The historic center is closed to traffic, so you’ll need to park outside and walk to your destination during your Puglia wedding. Be mindful of parking: yellow lines are reserved for residents only, do not park there; blue lines are paid parking spots, which can be paid for at nearby machines using a credit card; and white lines indicate free parking where available.
• There are no strict clothing requirements if you choose to get married in Polignano a Mare, but I recommend bringing a spare pair of comfortable shoes for walking on the cliffs or the beach with ease.
