As a Praiano wedding photographer, I’m constantly inspired by this peaceful town nestled between the famous destinations of Positano and Amalfi. Praiano offers the same breathtaking coastal views—but without the crowds. With its whitewashed stairways, tucked-away terraces, and golden hour light that falls just right, it’s a perfect place for couples who want something beautiful, romantic, and a little more private.

Why Choose Praiano for Your Destination Wedding
Praiano is perfect for couples looking for a more authentic, slow-paced alternative to Positano or Amalfi. The views are just as spectacular, but the vibe is quieter, more local. It’s ideal for intimate weddings, cliffside ceremonies, and relaxed celebrations that don’t feel rushed or overly planned. With fewer tourists and a more personal feel, it allows your wedding day to truly breathe—and gives us space to create photographs that feel organic, romantic, and timeless.

Catholic Weddings in Praiano
For couples dreaming of a traditional Catholic ceremony, Praiano offers two beautiful and unique options. The Church of San Gennaro, set in the heart of the village with its iconic tiled dome and panoramic square, welcomes Catholic weddings and provides a classic setting with sweeping coastal views. For something more intimate and exclusive, Grand Hotel Tritone features a private cave chapel—a truly one-of-a-kind location carved into the cliffs, offering a sacred and deeply atmospheric space for your vows (See photos taken at the chapel for this romantic wedding in Praiano). Both venues allow foreign couples to marry, making Praiano a perfect choice for a religious ceremony by the sea.
