A Classic & Stylish Positano Elopement at Villa Treville: Loran & Andrew

Finding Jules might have been the best thing that ever happened to us. My fiancé and I wanted to get married in Italy, and we decided to go for it about 8 days in advance. We found Jules website and were blown away by the quality of his photographs, and we instantly knew he was who we wanted to work with to capture all the special moments on our wedding day.

Jules and I emailed back and forth a few times, and he was always quick to respond, and was helpful and honest about everything I needed to know when planning a wedding in a place I had never been to before. He understood that I was putting a lot of faith in him to guide me through the planning process, and he took that responsibility seriously. I liked him right away because I could feel how important it was to him, that we have the best day of our lives.

He really wanted that for us. Jules has amazing contacts all over Italy, so after a few days of getting the basics in place things came together very easily. All the way through the planning process I felt cared for and important. This was not just another wedding in a busy schedule for him, but it was an opportunity to help us live out our dream.

I am not someone who loves posing for pictures, and I am not overly comfortable being photographed, but Jules made it a really fun experience for me. He was funny, and relaxed, and in control of the situation but always in a way that made me smile and feel like I was able to enjoy the attention. I felt like a celebrity for the day. I can only speak for myself as the groom, but Jules took the part of the day I was least looking forward to, and made it a fun and memorable experience that I now cherish.

Earlier this week we got out pictures back, and once again we were blown away! After the wedding ceremony we were in a race against time to get as many good shots in good locations as we could before the sun went down. It was so much fun running around and getting in place, and having a special moment just in time to turn and run around somewhere else to do it again.

Again, Jules with his incredible eye for lighting was in control and put us in beautiful spots, and in our pictures I/we are laughing in half of them because it was so comfortable and so much fun. Almost every night this week wife and I have spent hours looking through all of Jules’s work, and the more I look at them, the more I appreciate him. He is a special photographer, in a special country, and he captured our love and our day with such an amazing eye, I can’t thank him enough.

We enjoyed this experience enough where we are already planning on going back to Italy in a few months and plan to call Jules just to hang out socially! We signed up for a wedding photographer and accidentally made a friend. I recommend him with 100% of me and wish my experience on everyone who reads this.

Thank you for everything Jules! Without you, none of this could have happened. See you again soon my friend!

Some love stories feel like classic cinema. This was the heart of Loran and Andrew’s vision for their Positano elopement. It wasn’t about extravagance. It was about a specific, timeless style, brought to life against one of the most iconic backdrops in the world.

Their day was a series of deliberate, personal choices. Every detail was chosen to create a feeling of enduring romance, turning their elopement into a collection of beautiful, artful images they will be proud of forever.

The Art of Timeless Style

A classic black-tie elopement on the Amalfi Coast is a powerful statement. For Loran and Andrew, this was not a costume, but a true reflection of their personal style. The sharp tuxedo and the elegant, beaded gown felt perfectly at home among the white-washed walls and brilliant blue sea of Villa Treville.

The vintage Bentley was more than just transportation. It was a character in their story. We arranged for the car to meet them after their ceremony for a drive along the winding coastal roads. Those moments, with the sea breeze and the dramatic cliffs in the background, became some of the most memorable portraits of the day. It was pure, cinematic romance.

Our Favorite Moment

The ceremony itself was the perfect picture of intimacy. Our relationship with Villa Treville allows us to secure the most private terrace, a space with an uninterrupted view of Positano’s pastel-colored houses cascading down to the water. Flanked by a lush arch of cream and blush roses, Loran and Andrew exchanged their vows.

We built their timeline around the soft afternoon light. We knew exactly when it would wash over the cliffs, creating a warm, golden glow. This is the heart of our photography-first approach. We don’t just hope for good light. We plan for it, ensuring the final images feel as romantic and atmospheric as the moment itself.

Create Your Own Italian Elopement Story

Finding the perfect location is the first step. Bringing a personal vision to life is where the real work begins. We believe in being true partners in that process, handling the complexities so you can focus on what matters. Your story, told beautifully.

If you are dreaming of your own elopement on the Amalfi Coast, we would be honored to help you create it.
