Elopement at Vocabolo Moscatelli
Claudia & Matthew’s Romantic Elopement at Vocabolo Moscatelli
Some weddings are full of guests and noise, while others unfold quietly, in a way that feels sincere and deeply personal. Claudia and Matthew, a sweet couple from Australia, chose to elope in Umbria, celebrating their love at Vocabolo Moscatelli—a peaceful resort surrounded by olive trees, open spaces, and the character of old stone buildings. Their Elopement at Vocabolo Moscatelli was intimate, emotional, and beautifully relaxed.
Getting Ready Together
Instead of getting ready separately, Claudia and Matthew spent the early afternoon preparing together in the same room. They helped each other with the final touches, shared jokes, and took their time enjoying the moment. It was a simple, genuine way to start the day—no rush, no pressure, just the two of them.
A Garden Ceremony in Front of the Church
Their ceremony took place outdoors, in the garden right in front of the small church on the property. With greenery around them and the warm character of the stone walls as a backdrop, the setting felt naturally romantic without needing much decoration.
They exchanged rings, and then added a Handfasting ritual—a symbolic gesture where their hands were gently tied together with a ribbon. It was a quiet, heartfelt moment that made their promises feel even more meaningful.
Exploring the Grounds Together
After the ceremony, we took a walk around the property and the surrounding fields for their portraits. Umbria has a peaceful charm—soft landscapes, winding paths, and open views that make everything slow down in the best way.
Claudia and Matthew were completely at ease. They walked closely together, stopped to laugh, and simply enjoyed each other’s company. Photographing them felt natural, with every moment flowing into the next.
A Private Dinner Inside the Church
One of the most unique parts of their elopement was the dinner setup: a romantic table for two inside the small church at Vocabolo Moscatelli. The atmosphere was warm and intimate, with candles, soft light, and beautifully arranged details that transformed the space into something truly special.
They shared local Umbrian dishes, toasted with wine, and ended their day in a setting that felt both meaningful and unforgettable.
