Rome Elopement in Villa Borghese

Elopement

If you're dreaming of an elopement in Italy that blends timeless beauty with a modern, relaxed vibe, Villa Borghese in Rome might just be the perfect backdrop.

This couple flew in from abroad with one simple idea in mind: keep it intimate, stylish, and uniquely Roman. No frills, no stress – just love, golden light, and a walk through one of the most iconic parks in the Eternal City.

We met at Villa Borghese just before sunset, when the light begins to turn soft and cinematic. As an elopement photographer in Italy, I always recommend this time of day: the atmosphere is warm, the crowds thin out, and Rome feels like it’s all yours.

The bride wore a short white dress – playful and bold – and the groom kept it cool with suspenders and rolled-up sleeves. Together, they walked hand in hand under the trees, stopping to laugh, kiss, and take in the magic of Rome. We even had a vintage Vespa to complete the experience – a real Rome elopement classic.
