Wedding Photographer: Italy & UK | iMAG1NE

Amy was the wedding photographer in Amalfi & Positano, Amalfi Coast, Italy for Nathan & Emily’s wedding.

Just a few days after my wet day in Siena, I travelled down to Amalfi for the wedding of Nathan & Emily. Nathan & Emily were alone for their magical day but will soon be travelling back to Australia for a reception with family and friends. What a great way of ensuring a stress-free, intimate and romantic wedding!

They both got ready together in the centre of Amalfi. Emily had managed to hide the dress from Nathan so he got kicked out whilst Emily dressed and then I set up a little meeting in the street. We wandered through the lovely streets of Amalfi, taking photographs as we passed the beautiful cathedral and then met the car to travel to Positano Town Hall.

The private ceremony was followed by a wander through the streets of Positano, where we met the boat that took us along the coastline back to Amalfi. I left Nathan & Emily at this point but they went on to a fab restaurant where they had a table for two. Perfect.

Amalfi.

Love this one.

About 30 school-kids were clapping and cheering as they stood on the steps in front of Amalfi Cathedral. Emily was a bit embarrassed!

Handsome!

Love this stop-off on the way to Positano from Amalfi. That’s Positano in the distance.

Lovely.

Just married.

We had 5 minutes to take some photographs on the terrace after the ceremony.

So natural.

Beautiful.

Love this one with the sailor in view!

… and relax …

Gorgeous.

One of my favourites from the day.

How romantic is that!!

Great day folks. Loved it. I’ll have your DVD in the post as soon as possible so that you can have it for your reception at home. Safe travels. -Amy x

Amy was the wedding photographer in Maiori, Amalfi Coast, Italy for John & Kelly’s wedding.

Back in 2008 (have I got that right folks?) I photographed the wonderful wedding of James & Hayley at Malcesine Castle on Lake Garda. This time James & Hayley’s good friends, John & Kelly, were married at the wonderful Hotel Due Torri in Maiori – one of the coastal towns just a few kms before you reach Amalfi & Ravello.

Since photographing the beautiful private ceremony of Joe & Liz in Positano just one month before, it was as though someone had gone along the Amalfi Coast with a big yellow and purple brush and coloured it all in! The spring flowers were out in force – the wonderful yellow of mimosa and forsythia and the purple of … the purple flowers (must look that flower up one day!)

John & Kelly were an absolute dream to photograph. Easy-going, lots of fun and gorgeous. Hotel Due Torri lent itself perfectly to a wedding as the ceremony took place on the 5th floor, aperativi were enjoyed on the 6th floor terrace and the wedding breakfast was consumed on the 4th floor’s Pandora Hall – a beautiful, beautiful room.

After dinner, we all left the hotel and walked across the road to the Norman Tower where Chinese Lanterns were released and the guests partied hard!

Here we go:

Kelly’s beautiful dress, chosen about 18 months before the big day.

The Grooms and Ushers arrive at the Hotel. I focus on the shadows as a way of showing how sunny it was in a not-so-obvious way – something taught to me years ago by a very wise man ;)

Kelly helped her Bridesmaids into their dresses.

Present time!

Simply beautiful.

Look at the fab weather!

One of my favourite shots from the day.

Lovely.

Handsome Groom.

There’s Hayley in the purple dress with Mac (James) far left – great to catch up with you guys.

Kelly’s friend reads during the ceremony.

I love this confetti shot, just married!

What a gorgeous collection of dresses!

Over-looking Maiori town.

I love this shot of John with his 2 brothers in the background.

Group shots – now one of my favourite parts of the day. You won’t hear that coming from many wedding photographers!

All guests saying a big ‘cheeeeeeese!’

The beautiful Pandora Hall – 4th floor of Hotel Due Torri, Maiori.

Well done Dad!

Breaking from tradition, the Groom’s Mum spoke at this wedding. Great stuff.

Love this one.

And this was at the start of the night. Uh-oh. Think it was gonna get messy.

Weeeeeeeee!

Wow – what a fun day. I didn’t want to leave! The perfect wedding day in every way. Thank you so much for smiling none-stop and for the amazing food and company. Re-new your vows next year because I fancy doing it all over again. Enjoy your hols! Amy x

Amy was the wedding photographer in Positano, Amalfi Coast, Italy for Joe & Liz’s wedding.

First wedding of the year. Boy was I excited to get going again!

Joe, Liz and 6 of their friends had travelled from Orlando, Florida to spend a few days in Venice (where they officially got engaged), a few days in Florence and had got to Positano a few days before their beautiful ceremony that took place on the balcony of their apartment. I can’t ever remember witnessing such a very private, intimate and emotional ceremony as this one. Their friend Grant was the officiant but everyone there said a few words about their particular relationship with the Bride & Groom. Nobody came close to ‘holding it together’ during Joe & Liz’s words to each other!

The ceremony took place with Positano town as a backdrop which was where we headed afterwards. The light dropped as we walked but there was just enough time to grab a handful of shots before I left the wedding party ordering their dinner.

Thank you for letting me share folks. It was magical. I hope you love these and the rest that are to come:

Positano, Amalfi Coast.

Mimosa, famously given to ladies on ‘Ladies Day.’ Festa della Donna, 8th March.

The ring on a tap!

I love this one of Liz applying her lipstick.

One of my all-time favourite Groom shots.

Zip-up!

Beautiful Liz.

An overview of the ceremony.

Isn’t this gorgeous?

The wedding party in their entirety.

Who said you can’t do group shots in the dark?!

I love the intensity of this shot.

A fun one to finish!

I’ll be in touch VERY soon folks! Hope you had a safe journey home and thanks again for letting me in. Amy x

Amy was the wedding photographer at Ravello, Amalfi Coast, Italy for John & Alison’s wedding.

The weekend of the 23rd / 24th September was a two-wedding-weekend for me. The first wedding was in beautiful Ravello, a place that I now feel I know like the back of my hand. This was a wedding that I was really looking forward to. It would be rude to mention ages but let’s just say that the gorgeous bride, Alison had waited rather a long time for this day to come.

Villa Fraulo, a wonderfully luxurious and exclusive resort, played host to the couple and their guests on this special day. The wedding itself took place at the Giardini della Principessa di Piemonte which has the most impressive view along to the Bay of Salerno and we found time to wonder around the very pretty little town of Ravello and visit Villa Rufolo. Take a look:

Ravello’s colourful streets. This path leads from Villa Fraulo to the Giardini della Principessa di Piemonte.

John got ready in Hotel Bonadies also in the centre of Ravello. The view from the balcony wasn’t too bad!

Meanwhile Alison and her bridesmaid Diane got ready at Villa Fraulo.

Long-time friends.

Beautiful bride.

Isn’t this fab? Makes me want to swim in the sea!

‘You may now kiss the Bride!’

You’re married Alison!! Yeah!!!

Confetti!

Gorgeous light wrapping itself around a gorgeous couple.

Walking down Ravello’s alleyway that leads to the main square.

Grandma & Grandad with little Lily.

I love this shot of the whole wedding party.

Villa Rufolo’s stunning gardens.

The iconic image of Ravello.

Also taken in Villa Rufolo. One of my favourites from the day.

Isn’t this beautiful too? John & Alison were brilliant models and despite not looking forward to it, John kept telling me how much he was enjoying being photographed :-)

From Villa Rufolo, we spent 15 minutes or so in Ravello’s main square. Andy an I are on the hunt for big pots for our garden!

Back up the beautiful little street towards Villa Fraulo for their evening reception. What a day!

Such a great experience. I just loved every minute of it. John, Alison and their wonderful family and friends – thanks for having me. -Amy x

Amy was the wedding photographer at Positano Town Hall, Amalfi Coast for Mat & Pia’s wedding.

When Mat & Pia first contacted me, they planned to elope. To come to beautiful Positano on the Amalfi Coast from their home in Australia and get married – just the two of them. In fact, as their big day approached, their parents chose to join them and so it was that Pia & Mat got married with just their Mums and Dads there to witness. How special.

After a heartfelt ceremony at Positano Town Hall and a quick photo shoot at a look-out point high above Positano we headed off for the most amazing boat ride of all time. From Positano, we went around Li Galli islands, privately owned and just totally beautiful. As the sun went down over the water, the light was golden and the views across the sea where sensational. A trip that I will certainly never forget.

Once back on dry land, Positano came alive as tourists came down to the sea front to eat whilst we went up high to the luxurious boutique hotel, Le Sirenuse. Finally, I have photographed a Bride & Groom in a hotel featured in my Hip Hotels coffee-table book!

Mat & Pia got ready together at Hotel Marincanto. Their room had an indoor pool in it!! Here is a photograph of the hotel’s beautiful terrace.

And this, the view from Mat & Pia’s room.

The girl that did Pia’s make-up was a fellow Australian but living nearby to Positano in Salerno.

Mat did a grand job of getting Pia into her dress. Here’s Mum doing a few last minute tweaks.

Mat manages his own final tweaks!

A very personal, private ceremony on the terrace at Positano Town Hall.

The display of flowers at the ceremony was gorgeous.

Just married!

Mat & Pia wondered through Positano’s colourful streets, down to the sea-front for the boat ride.

They met Dad on their way!

Look at these chillies!!! They’re everywhere on the Amalfi Coast.

Happy times.

Pia looks like Angelina Jolie! Stunning.

Beautiful landscapes from the boat.

So photogenic. I absolutely love this image.

I love this one too! The boat docks and we headed up to Le Sirenuse.

Time for a handful of family photographs as we pass through vibrant Positano town centre.

But I think I’ve saved the best ’til last. One of my favourites of all-time.

Thanks to everyone involved: to Mat, Pia, Mums and Dads for making me feel so welcome and to Jacquie Coppola from The Amalfi Experience for being the only planner worth contacting if you’re getting married down there :-) – Amy x
