Taormina Wedding:
An Intimate Marriage Experience
For S+J, eloping in the heart of Taormina, Sicily, was exactly what they had always wanted– romantic and elegant. They imagined a day that combined historic charm with the Mediterranean’s natural beauty, a setting just as unique and timeless as their love. Their Taormina wedding at the iconic San Domenico Palace was everything they had dreamed of, perfectly reflecting their love story.
The day’s mission was clear: to convey the unique blend of historic charm and natural beauty that S+J envisioned, capturing the essence of their romance and the timeless elegance of their special day.

The Couple’s Vision for a Romantic Sicily Wedding
S+J wanted a ceremony that was both private and grand, a wedding that felt intimate but still had a touch of splendor. They fell in love with Taormina for its stunning views, rich history, and the peaceful charm of the Mediterranean. They planned their wedding in Sicily to be a celebration of love in a way that felt personal, set against the enchanting backdrop of one of Italy’s most picturesque locations.
Throughout the day, the focus was always on S+J and the special moments they shared. I aimed to capture those moments naturally, without interrupting the flow of their day. The idea was to let them enjoy every second, knowing that their memories were being thoughtfully preserved.
San Domenico Palace: the Perfect Wedding Venue in Taormina
San Domenico Palace in Taormina was the perfect spot for S+J's wedding. Perched on cliffs overlooking the Mediterranean, this luxurious venue combined historic charm with modern elegance. The sunny terraces and lush gardens made the perfect backdrop, adding to the beauty and romance of their day.
Getting Ready: Capturing the Anticipation
The day began quietly, as the couple prepared for the ceremony in a suite at the San Domenico Palace. Surrounded by historic touches and modern luxury, I focused on capturing the air of anticipation as they got ready, focusing on the details. The soft light in the suite helped to convey the serenity and intimacy of the moment, with every glance and gesture setting the stage for the magical day ahead.
An Exchange of Vows
S+J exchanged vows on a sun-drenched terrace by the sea, perfectly capturing the essence of their Taormina wedding. The terrace, beautifully decorated with elegant white flowers arranged by Floragarden, provided a stunning backdrop for their heartfelt ceremony. With the Mediterranean as their witness, they promised each other a lifetime of love and happiness. We wanted to create a visual narrative, so every joyful moment became part of a story they can share and revisit for years to come.
Their ceremony was exactly what they had envisioned—intimate and deeply personal. My role was to document it in a way that allowed them to stay completely focused on each other, without ever feeling like they were on display. It was all about letting the day unfold naturally and capturing the true essence of their love.
Night Party: Celebrating La Dolce VitA
After the ceremony, S+J embraced the spirit of La Dolce Vita with a glamorous night party. They enjoyed the best Italian food and wines, relishing in the joy and celebration of their special day. A ride on the famous Vespa added a touch of adventure to the evening. The historic architecture of San Domenico Palace, all lit up under a starry sky, made for a magical night filled with laughter, dancing, and unforgettable moments. The essence of this celebration was preserved, ensuring that the spirit of their Sicily wedding would be remembered forever.
As the night wound down, I focused on capturing the real joy and laughter of the evening. It was about letting S+J enjoy the party while I quietly documented the fun, ensuring they’d have those memories to look back on. The spontaneous Vespa ride added a fun twist, and created a perfect ending to a beautiful day.
