Destination Wedding Guides: Italy & Spain

After ten years of photographing weddings, I’ve noticed that by the time couples call me, they’ve usually already found their venue. What they really want to know is how the day should flow, when the light is best, and which vendors I’d trust.

These guides are what I’d tell you on that call, plus the venue and planner notes I’ve collected along the way. They’re written for couples from the US, UK, Canada and Australia planning a wedding in Italy or Spain. Fair warning: I care more about timing and light than about napkin colors. Plan the day around the sun, and most of the rest falls into place.
