Amazing photos, amazing people, amazing experience
When my now-husband and I started dreaming up a Positano elopement (our "Plan B" after having to postpone our wedding due to COVID), the very first thing we looked into was photography. We wouldn't have felt comfortable starting to plan a destination elopement without knowing that we'd found someone we could trust to perfectly capture our day. We found Lace and Luce through a wedding they'd had featured on a wedding blog, and we really loved what we saw, so we set up a call. After talking to them, we knew immediately we'd found the perfect photographers for us. (We actually didn't bother contacting any other photographers!)
With neither of us speaking any Italian or having been to the Amalfi Coast before, my husband and I were really hoping to find photographers who were extremely familiar with the area and also spoke English fluently. Jennifer and Salvatore definitely checked both of those boxes, and were also incredibly nice and friendly. Jennifer was so helpful when we started planning (her recommendations for a planner and videographer were 100% spot on), and she was such a great and supportive sounding board throughout the whole planning process. The day of the elopement, we felt so at ease with both of them, it felt like we were just hanging out with friends.
We got our photos back in about a month, and we are actually obsessed with them. A significant portion of our day was spent on a boat in rather choppy waters, and I know my husband and I were both making some crazy faces trying to look lovingly in each other's eyes while not falling overboard... but looking at the photos, you would have no idea. I don't even know how they managed to capture such beautiful photos. We've literally never looked so graceful in our lives, and I'm not entirely convinced sorcery wasn't involved.
Before working with Lace and Luce, I'd always preferred color photos to black & white, since I'd always found the latter a little boring.... but they have singlehandedly changed my mind about B&W photos. They are able to beautifully capture colors and light (the main reason why I was so drawn to their work initially), but WOW their B&W photos are also amazing.
I would wholeheartedly recommend Lace and Luce to any couple planning an Italian wedding. Jennifer and Salvatore are such a pleasure to work with, from start to finish, and they will make you feel and look SO GOOD on your big day. Our families, friends, and even our wedding vendors for our non-Italian wedding reception next year have all gushed profusely about how incredibly gorgeous our photos are. (And not to toot our own horns, but seriously we look awesome in these photos, all thanks to Jennifer and Salvatore.) Lace and Luce were everything we were hoping for and more. Huge thanks to you both, we will treasure these photos forever!!
