Jordan + Mike – Elopement in Vila Cimbrone Ravello from Manisol Wedding on Vimeo

Living La Dolce Vita for a spectacular Elopement Wedding experience on the Amalfi Coast

Soon after we started talking with Jordan and Mike, we knew one thing: these two have style!
We came in contact with them through our work at Elope to Italy. They knew they wanted to get married in Italy for the spectacular sceneries our country has to offer, but most importantly to feel the Italian vibe and live a real Dolce Vita experience.
After brainstorming ideas and possible venues we realized that an elopement in Villa Cimbrone Ravello was *the* perfect choice. And looking back at their photos and videos, we are sure you are going to agree with us!

One of the aspects we love the most about our job is that it gives us the possibility to explore our country and experience places and situations that we would have hardly had access to otherwise. A perfect example of this is the beginning of this elopement day: we woke up at 4.30 am, got ready, walked around the empty town of Ravello, and entered Villa Cimbrone as the sun was just barely starting to rise.
We walked, photographed, and filmed the sun slowly rising, and the sky turning pink, from the Terrazza dell’Infinito in Villa Cimbrone.

Our day with Jordan and Mike started with such a spectacular show, and definitely continued to amaze us!
The two got ready separately in the stunning Beckett Suite of Villa Cimbrone with the early sun starting to peep in through the wide windows facing the Mediterranean sea. Mike walked to the Terrazza dell’Infinito first: it was 7 in the morning, the terrace was all for us and was filled with white rose petals, waiting for the bride to walk her way down to him.

Jordan’s beauty left us speechless: the Pronovias dress was absolutely perfect for her and her jewelry, and her makeup and hairdo totally embraced the classic beauty of the Amalfi Coast.

Jordan and Mike shared their vows in the Terrazza dell’Infinito, surrounded by the blue of the sea and the sky.
Then, we had our couple shooting session around the stunning gardens of the Villa – being able to explore it and photograph in its most beautiful corners with no other guests around was simply spectacular.

We took a few hour’s breaks – we started shooting again in the mid-afternoon with a walk around the town of Ravello and a gorgeous tour down the coast in the newlyweds’ favorite car, a gorgeous vintage Alfa Romeo.

We drove down to Amalfi and took a boat from there: the coast was all for the four of us, blasting vintage Italian music, drinking Amalfi Gin Lemon, dancing, and celebrating! After another ride at sunset, we went back to Villa Cimbrone to end the shooting where it started, as the sun was finally setting for the night.

An elopement in Villa Cimbrone that was so beautiful it looked like it came from a movie: and we loved every moment of it!
