Getting married in The Dolomites
The Dolomites are a UNESCO World Heritage site, and standing under them it's obvious why.
Pale limestone peaks go almost vertical out of green alpine meadows, and at sunrise and sunset the rock turns pink and gold.
The air is clean and cool even in August. For couples who want scale and drama rather than sunshine and lemon groves, nowhere in Italy comes close.
Where couples get married here
Lago di Braies is the one most people picture — the wooden boathouse, the rowboats, the mountain wall behind.
I've filmed elopements there, including one couple who crossed the lake by boat to share their vows. Alpe di Siusi is Europe's largest high-altitude meadow and gives you space and silence.
Cortina d'Ampezzo works well as a base with proper hotels and restaurants, and the valleys of Val Gardena, Alta Badia and Alleghe all have small churches and mountain lodges.
Filming a wedding in The Dolomites
This is the most weather-dependent region I work in, but come rain or shine, fog or clear, The Dolomites are incredibly rewarding. Cloud can sit on the peaks all morning and clear in ten minutes, so I stay flexible rather than locking the day to a rigid schedule.
Cable cars and mountain roads mean getting to a high viewpoint takes real time — worth building in properly, because those shots are why you came. Drone restrictions are lighter here than around cities, so aerials are usually possible.
Season matters too: the high passes and lifts are closed by snow outside roughly June to early October, so a summer or early-autumn date gives you the most options, while winter offers something completely different if you want snow.
