Yes, Portofino and Italy, in general, are great locations for a destination wedding. Although not as popular as France, Italy is number two on my destination wedding photography list – I’m there very, very often.

This was my fourth wedding in Portofino – I never get tired of going there, it’s that nice. It’s a place where pure luxury meets elegance – the tranquil surroundings, narrow streets, luxury hotels, the people – it all adds up and makes Portofino a great place for fabulous wedding photos and a great place to celebrate your wedding.

Getting Ready In Imperiale Palace Hotel

I was lucky enough to start off my day with the groom- Brian and the guys getting ready at Imperiale Palace Hotel. It’s a lovely hotel, the rooms are nice and the view is pretty spectacular!

Hotel Imperiale Portofino has an interesting history. Here are some interesting facts: The Imperial Suites, on the floor where nobility once lived, were full of famous writers and artists like Pirandello and Eleonora Duse. On April 16th, 1922, the Treaty of Rapallo was signed in the Oval Room, which ended WW1. Now a hotel, The Imperiale Palace satisfies the most demanding client and takes one back to memorable times.

Destination wedding in Portofino

A short photoshoot later we went to the Villa Durazzo, our main wedding venue where the wedding ceremony took place. I always wish I had more time with clients for photos, and this indeed was the case. Don’t get me wrong, I’m very good and quick at what I do, but when the environment is this nice, I just want to shoot more and more.

Villa Durazzo wedding ceremony

Villa Durazzo is a perfect venue for weddings in Portofino. It has a beautiful location, amazing views, and beautiful gardens where the ceremony took place. It can host up to 200 guests. The villa served as the backdrop to Anna and Brian’s outdoor wedding ceremony. The villa, a building originally designed for living purposes, became the perfect setting for Anna and Brian to celebrate their love in front of all those who matter the most. The open-air ceremony space provided an intimate backdrop that created the perfect environment for such a special occasion. Following the ceremony, we went for a quick photoshoot and took some photos inside Villa Durazzo as well. So, if you are looking for a place where to have your wedding ceremony in Italy, Villa Durazzo is definitely worth considering!
