“La Dolce Vita” in Amalfi: An Intimate Elopement Experience

On September 16th, Juliana and Camilo, a joyful Colombian couple, chose Amalfi for their intimate elopement, celebrating “la dolce vita” by blending vintage vibes with the stunning Mediterranean atmosphere. With just ten family members in attendance, they created a day filled with genuine emotions, fresh energy, and timeless Italian charm.

Getting Ready on a Sunseeker 100 YACHT

The day began on a luxurious Sunseeker 100 Yacht, where Juliana and Camilo prepared for their big moment. Floral decorations were kept simple to honor the natural beauty of the Amalfi Coast. From the deck, the breathtaking sea viewsset the perfect tone for a stylish, fun, and relaxed morning. Moments of laughter and heartfelt emotions were shared with their parents and siblings, making the experience even more special and intimate.

Emotional Ceremony at the Anantara Convent

The emotional peak of the day happened at the historic Anantara Convent, a venue known for its peaceful ambiance and panoramic views. During their vows, Juliana and Camilo’s genuine tears of happiness moved everyone present. The small group of family members witnessed the exchange of promises in a heartfelt ceremony, capturing what an elopement should be all about: intimacy, connection, and true emotion.

A Hidden Beach Adventure

In the early morning, before the getting ready, Juliana and Camilo ventured to a secluded beach near Strani (name withheld for privacy), only accessible by swimming. This adventure perfectly reflected their adventurous spirit and the refreshing essence of Amalfi’s coastline. Turquoise waters and rugged cliffs became the backdrop for a playful, unforgettable photoshoot in their swimwear, truly embodying “la dolce vita.”

Afternoon Stroll in Amalfi

As the sun climbed higher, Juliana and Camilo explored the charming streets of central Amalfi. Narrow alleys, ancient architecture, and lively piazzas offered endless photo opportunities. They also shared a typical Amalfi lemon granita—served in a hollowed-out lemon—adding a sweet and tangy local touch to their romantic afternoon.
