A Romantic Castle Winery Elopement at Castello di Banfi: Corrina & Benny

For those who are thinking about having a destination wedding or elopement in Italy – please chose Jules Bower as your professional wedding photographer! Our big home wedding was cancelled due to Covid-19 and not wanting to plan everything all over again – my husband and I had decided to elope in Italy instead.

I first reached out to Jules via email, and he responded right away. I told him what my vision was, and he was quick to help us out with providing us with different options in venues and vendors. Everything went so smoothly in planning for our big day! On our big day – Jules is someone who knows what he wants, and he will 150% make sure you are getting the best!

We were literally chasing the sun making sure we got all the shots possible! My husband & I are very camera shy and when I got my pictures – I couldn’t be more happy with how everything turned out – our candid shots were our favorite. He was able to capture our relationship to the dot! We were also surprised with how fast we got our pictures back 🙂 Just in time for the holidays!

If you guys are on the fence of eloping or doing a destination wedding in Italy – let me help you – just DO IT! You won’t regret working with Jules!

Corrina Jung

For some couples, the dream of Italy has a specific shape. It looks like a stone castle rising from a sea of vineyards, the warm air carrying the faint, sweet scent of grapes. Corrina and Benny wanted more than just a beautiful backdrop; they wanted the refined experience of a Castle winery elopement, and they found it at Castello di Banfi. This was the perfect setting for their adventurous love story.

Our Favorite Moment

The highlight was without a doubt the sunset portrait session. This is where our deep knowledge of the estate truly comes into play. We didn’t just wander into the vineyards; we led Corrina and Benny to a specific, winding road that offers an uninterrupted view of the castle, the cypress trees, and the rolling hills all in one frame. As the golden hour light washed over the landscape, we knew these were more than just photographs. They were the heirloom images they had dreamed of. Capturing them there, surrounded by the famous Brunello di Montalcino vineyards, created a collection of powerful, romantic images that tell the story of their day.

It is a moment of pure atmosphere. Just the two of them, the incredible view, and the quiet of the Tuscan countryside.
