A Romantic Ravello Garden Elopement at Palazzo Confalone: Lexi & John

If you have the chance to have Jules photograph your wedding, do it… Right now. We had our ceremony in Ravello, Italy in July 2022 (setting the stage, so that you fully understand how hot it was). It was an intimate ceremony so just myself, my groom, and some family members – I did not have bridesmaids or anyone to help with other tasks.

Jules was truly a Jack of all trades on this day – not only giving us great customer service by taking AMAZING photos, but also moving around clothes, furniture, accessories, giving us bug spray, and communicating with the hotel staff to ensure that our day (and photos!) went as smoothly as possible. Jules was professional, punctual, and thoughtful the entire day & evening that he was with us. After about 15 minutes of taking photos in the heat & humidity, it would have been easy to give up – but Jules was there to take photographs, so he hyped us up, gave us energy, and made us feel like we could really take beautiful photos even though we were hot, fatigued, and ready for cold beverages.

We took photos at hidden gem locations that only the eye of a legendary photographer like Jules could find. Fast-forward to less than 48 hours later, Jules had already selected, edited, and sent me all the photos in an easy-to-access format. Now, the best part: The photos. They were utterly stunning and perfect.

I couldn’t imagine having any more gorgeous photos from our special day that captured our feelings, the atmosphere, and the beautiful location. We were so lucky to have found Jules and had him patiently guide us through the photography process on our special day in beautiful Italy.

Lexi Lutz

For some couples, a place feels inevitable. From the moment Lexi and John saw the dramatic cliffside views from Ravello, their decision was made. They knew this town, perched high above the Amalfi Coast, was where they would say their vows. Their vision was for a classic and deeply personal Ravello garden elopement, an intimate ceremony with their closest family, followed by a quiet exploration of the coast they had fallen for.

The day was centered around a private garden terrace at Palazzo Confalone, with the sea and the iconic coastline stretching out behind them. It was a space that felt both grand and completely their own.

After exchanging vows, they wandered the quiet streets of Ravello, using the town’s distinct architecture and cascades of bougainvillea as the backdrop for their first portraits as husband and wife. The day ended as it began: together, on their terrace, with a lovely private dinner as the sky darkened over the water.

Our Favorite Moment

The challenge in a place as beautiful as Ravello isn’t finding a view; it’s finding a private one. Our work began with securing the perfect garden terrace that gave Lexi and John the iconic backdrop they wanted, but with the intimacy required for a ceremony with family.

That sense of privacy became the theme of the day. After the vows, we left the sweeping views behind for something quieter. The real heart of their portrait session was found in the narrow, winding streets away from the main square.

It’s here, against old stone walls and colorful tiled doorways, that the focus shifts from the landscape to the couple. These are the heirloom images that tell the story not just of a location, but of a feeling.
