YAy! YOU'RE ELOPING in italy!!! I'M SO EXCITED FOR YOU! It's simply the best.

Let's take another second to take it all in - You. Are. Getting. Married. In. ITALY!!!

You are definitely my kind of people. The traditional hassle of a big wedding with a bunch of guests just isn't your thing. You value intimate, stress-free, once-in-a-lifetime experiences - right? Love that about you both!!

And what better place than Italy to commit to each other?!

Whether you want to explore the city of Rome, adventure in the Dolomite mountains, plan some epic activities drinking wine in Tuscany, or do a mixture of things - I'm committed to providing you with the most stunning images of yourselves you've ever seen along with an unforgettable day.

I'm sure you've now realized there are so many more possibilities

than the typical local courthouse wedding; you may be feeling a bit more stressed than expected. No worries because that's where I come in!

I'm more than just your elopement photographer. Let me help you plan this day to be exactly what you dream! Having spent 3 months living in Italy and 3 years learning Italian, I have extensive knowledge of so many amazing places in Rome, Florence, Venice, Amalfi, and more. Whether you want to hike the Dolomite mountains, say "I do" on a boat off the coast of Amalfi, or experience agriturismo in wine country Tuscany -

I'll be there for you.

HEY, I'M GINA!! (and yes my last name is italian - mangia means "to eat")

I'M YOUR ROMCOM LOVIN', ELOPEMENT PLANNER, PERMIT FINDER, Italy EXPERT ADVENTURE BUDDY

I'm a sucker for a good love story - from Landon & Jamie in A Walk To Remember, to Monica & Chandler from Friends, to Jim & Pam from The Office - it never fails to make me cry and inspire me. I want to capture your romance in its unique and intimate form. That's why I love helping you plan your day so you two can focus on each other while I worry about the timeline and logistics. I'm here to help make your day look exactly how you envision it - as crazy or tame as you want! And I've been fortunate to experience living in Italy recently that has taught me so much about the country - from where to find the best gelato to how to understand the transportation system to information on what to expect in Italian culture and so much more.

Does that sound amazing to you? Awesome, me too!

KIND WORDS FROM MY Amazing COUPLES

Katy & Alix

My wife and I booked Gina's talents for our elopement ceremony in San Francisco and were beyond pleased with the whole experience. Gina was very professional throughout the booking process, taking time to get to know us over the phone, explaining the process, and helping us pick the perfect location for our elopement. We couldn't have asked for a better photographer to accompany us on our special day — thanks, Gina!!!

Arizo & Jerome

We had Gina capture our wedding day and it was the most memorable and beautiful day because of Gina! She captured all of our happiness and more...! I can’t thank her enough! ... I probably look back at all of our pictures every day just scrolling through and it just brings me such joy! Gina was professional, fun, happy, and she even knew how nervous I was with taking pictures but made me feel so comfortable! My husband and I have finally found a photographer who is incredible and we will definitely have Gina be a part of our future special days so she can capture that for us!

Haoyue + Bixia

Gina is absolutely an amazing photographer, she provided us with a quality service and a reasonable price. We are so glad to have Gina shoot our elopement, she was instructing us doing poses all the time and captured our most precious moments. The photos were delivered to us quicker than expected with quality and we love them so much! Highly recommend her!

Sarah + Isaac

Having Gina as our elopement photographer was the best decision we could have made! We felt so comfortable around her and had so much fun during our photo sessions. You can see her attention to detail in everything, from the locations to poses, etc. Our elopement was shared with our closest family members who also raved about Gina’s professionalism and kind personality. During our day, we couldn’t wait to see our photos! Gina sent us sneak peeks within 48 hours and we LOVED them. We can’t wait to see the rest.

HALF DAY

8 hours

This is perfect for the couple that wants to have most of their day documented. For couples that may want to go to locations that are a little further from each other or may have multiple activities planned!

If you want a more slow-paced, stressed free day, then this is the package for you. Spending 8 hours together gives me the chance to really get to know you and capture the fullness of your love - from getting ready photos at your villa to sharing your vows overlooking the Amalfi coast, to smiling at the camera with your loved ones. To then adventuring to multiple locations, refueling by eating a delicious panino, having a quiet moment cutting cake together, to sharing your first dance along the Italian countryside.

The half-day experience is perfect for those who want to have a truly special elopement - a day where you keep thinking to yourself "is this real life?!"

The wonderful thing about elopements is that you can design it however you want - and I'm guessing you value intimate settings with no drama (same here).

Include them in your ceremony or photos after and then meet up with them later or the next day while you and your new spouse spend the day together -

just the two of you.
