Intimate Wedding Photographer on Lake Garda: Elopement at Malcesine Castle

A Wedding Photo Shoot for a Truly Authentic Elopement

Planning an intimate wedding on Lake Garda is a dream for many couples—and Ivonne and Marvin made that dream come true with their heartfelt elopement at Malcesine Castle.

This lovely German couple chose to exchange vows with a civil ceremony in spring, accompanied only by their two witnesses and friends, Christina and Felix. It was a quiet and deeply personal moment, just as they had envisioned.

We began the day with a deeply emotional first look in the garden of their residence in Brenzone. The moment Marvin saw Ivonne in her wedding dress, he couldn’t hold back the tears—a reaction full of love and genuine feeling.

After a few couple portraits on the beach of the residence, we moved to Malcesine. There, we explored the area around the castle beach and the town’s charming streets, capturing every glance and every step in the spring air.

The civil ceremony inside Malcesine Castle, one of Lake Garda’s most romantic venues, was both elegant and emotional. After the ceremony, we continued with portraits inside the historic walls of the castle.

Despite a forecast predicting rain, we were lucky: the sky remained overcast but dry—ideal for soft, flattering light. And just after the ceremony, a few sunbeams even broke through, adding magic to the scene.

This photo shoot is proof that a Lake Garda elopement doesn’t need grand decorations or large crowds—just love, a meaningful location, and the right photographer to capture it al
