As a Sorrento wedding photographer, I’m drawn to the way this town wraps you in warmth—from the scent of lemon groves to the way the sunset melts into the sea. Sorrento sits quietly at the northern edge of the Amalfi Coast, offering a mix of elegance, authenticity, and a little less bustle than its cliffside neighbors. With its beautiful villas, waterfront promenades, and historic charm, it’s the perfect setting for a wedding that feels relaxed yet refined.
The timeless beauty of Piazza Tasso and the breathtaking views from the Villa Comunale create iconic backdrops for your special day. Capturing the joy of couples against this stunning canvas is always a privilege.
Beyond the grand vistas, the lively, narrow hallways of the old town center, filled with artisan shops and local chatter, offer charming and intimate moments to capture the authentic spirit of your celebration.

Planning Your Wedding in Sorrento: Tips & Advice
Here are a few tips to help you get the most out of your wedding in Sorrento:
- Pick the right season – May to October is ideal for warm weather and glowing sunsets.
- Weekdays are quieter – Consider a midweek wedding to avoid tourist crowds and get more flexibility with venues.
- Sunset is everything – Plan portraits for golden hour to take advantage of Sorrento’s dreamy coastal light.
- Book early – Popular venues like Villa Astor fill up quickly—especially for weekends in peak season.
- Hire local vendors – Working with a local planner or vendor team who knows Sorrento well will make the day smoother and more enjoyable.
Eloping in Sorrento
There’s something incredibly intimate about an elopement in Sorrento. Imagine exchanging vows with just the sound of waves and seagulls in the background, or sharing your first dance on a quiet rooftop as the sun dips below the horizon. I love guiding couples to quiet spots for portraits and crafting an experience that feels effortless and completely personal. Whether you're traveling light or making it a multi-day escape, eloping in Sorrento is always full of heart and beauty.
Catholic Weddings in Sorrento
While Sorrento is a stunning place to celebrate a wedding, it's important to note that Catholic weddings are generally not permitted for foreigners in the town's churches. For couples dreaming of a religious ceremony in Italy, the best alternative is to hold a civil wedding in Sorrento, which can be just as meaningful—especially when celebrated in historic venues like the Cloister of San Francesco. If a traditional Catholic ceremony is essential, many couples opt to marry in a church in nearby towns such as Ravello, Praiano or Amalfi, where permissions are more accessible and the settings are equally breathtaking. I’m always happy to help guide couples toward the best option for their vision.
