Elopement pictures with Duomo view in Florence

For couples dreaming of an intimate and unforgettable wedding, Florence offers a setting unlike any other. Paige and Nicholas, a lovely couple from Missouri, chose this historic city for their elopement, and here you can see pictures of them exchanging vows with one of the most breathtaking views imaginable at La Terrazza sul Duomo. Their winter elopement was nothing short of magical, filled with elegance, emotion and the unparalleled beauty of a terrace over the Duomo of Florence.

A toast to forever, overlooking the Duomo

Set in the heart of the city, just steps from the magnificent Florence Cathedral, La Terrazza sul Duomo provided the perfect backdrop for this intimate wedding and for the elopement pictures that you can see. The couple, staying in one of the venue’s exclusive rooms, enjoyed a peaceful morning preparing for their special moment. As their photographer, I focused on capturing the quiet anticipation: the final touches, the delicate details of their attire and – of course – the breathtaking view outside their window.

When the moment arrived, right after a sweet first look, Paige and Nicholas stepped onto the terrace, nestled among the historic buildings of the city center. The symbolic ceremony was simple yet emotional, and even more stunning thanks to the grandeur of the Duomo watching over them.

After saying their vows, the newlyweds celebrated with a glass of Chianti Classico Gran Selezione, a refined touch that perfectly embodied the spirit of Tuscany, and a cute little cake. The warmth of the wine complemented the crisp winter air, adding another layer of romance to their unforgettable day.

As the photographer who took their elopement pictures, I wanted to preserve the authenticity of their emotions: joyful smiles, soft glances and the intimacy of a moment shared between two people deeply in love with one another.

Paige and Nicholas’s elopement pictures in the heart of Florence

Following their private celebration, we explored the city for a series of elopement pictures highlighting Florence’s most iconic locations. We wandered through its historic streets, stopping near the Uffizi Gallery, the Loggia dei Lanzi, Ponte Vecchio and, it goes without saying, the majestic Duomo itself. For the final part of the photo shoot, we made our way to San Miniato al Monte, a panoramic spot offering sweeping views over Florence. The golden light of the setting sun painted the city in warm hues, creating a dreamy atmosphere: the perfect ending to this romantic elopement.

Paige and Nicholas’s elopement was the epitome of elegance and intimacy.
