Dolomites Wedding Videographer

Cinematic Wedding Films in the Italian Dolomites

Your wedding day is an irreplaceable chapter in your story. As a wedding videographer in South Tyrol and the Dolomites, I capture exactly this magic in cinematic quality. It is the fleeting glances, the quiet laughter, and the unposed tears of joy that bring a film to life. My goal is to create memories that will touch you deeply even decades from now.

Elopement Videography & Destination Weddings in South Tyrol

I am Patrick, your silent observer on the big day. My approach is based on the fly on the wall principle. This means: I do not intervene as a director, but document the events unobtrusively from the background. This allows me to capture the genuine atmosphere of your destination wedding or mountain elopement without ever disrupting the natural flow.

What to Expect

01

Introductory Call

Vision & Connection

In a personal conversation, we get to know each other, discuss your vision, the schedule, and all the details. I want to understand what makes you special as a couple: so the film truly tells your story.

02

The Big Day

Unobtrusive Capture

On the wedding day, I'm your invisible companion. From getting ready through the ceremony to the first dance: I capture the most emotional moments without disrupting the flow.

The Magic in Editing

Cinematic Polish

In post-production, your raw footage becomes a work of art. Cinematic editing, professional color grading, and the perfect music transform the footage into a film you'll want to watch again and again.

Packages & Pricing

The cost of a wedding videographer in the Dolomites varies depending on the scope and duration of coverage. I offer tailored packages, ranging from intimate elopements to full-day wedding documentaries.

Top Locations

The most popular locations for an elopement in South Tyrol include Lago di Braies (Pragser Wildsee), Tre Cime di Lavaredo, Seceda and Alpe di Siusi. In addition, I am happy to share exclusive insider spots with my couples, away from the large crowds.

Delivery

You typically receive your finished cinematic film within 1 to 3 months. For specific deadlines, prioritised delivery is possible by prior arrangement before booking.

Travel

My focus is on South Tyrol and the Dolomites, but as a wedding videographer I also cover destination weddings across Europe. For international productions, I am happy to prepare an individual quote including travel costs.

Dolomites Elopement Location Guide

Everything you need to know before choosing your backdrop.

Pragser Wildsee (Lago di Braies)

Lago di Braies, at 1,496 m in the Natural Park Fanes-Senes-Braies, is arguably the most photographed alpine lake in the Dolomites. Access is limited. I recommend a sunrise shoot to use the best light without the crowds. Since popular spots such as the rowing boat jetty must be booked early, timely planning is essential. Specific guidelines apply to video production within the natural park, which I explain to you in detail at booking. The 3 km loop trail offers numerous iconic perspectives.

Tre Cime di Lavaredo

The three striking Dolomite peaks of the Sesto Natural Park at 2,999 m are among the best-known rock formations in the Alps. Access to the car park at Rifugio Auronzo is via a toll road costing approximately 40 EUR per car, with mandatory advance online reservation (as of 2026). Whether right at the peaks or with a view of the Cadini di Misurina, the backdrop is unique. We follow the natural park's guidelines. A shoot is especially worthwhile at sunrise or sunset in golden light.

Seceda, Val Gardena

The Seceda plateau above Ortisei offers a dramatic 2,518 m ridge with an open view across Val Gardena toward the Sassolungo group. Access is usually via the cable car. Depending on the season and sunrise, I recommend being at the top especially early to enjoy the best light undisturbed. Natural park guidelines apply here too, which we discuss in advance. Combining the two locations Seceda and Alpe di Siusi is logistically possible.

Hidden Gems

Beyond the world-famous highlights, the Dolomites offer countless hidden places that are at least as spectacular. These quieter spots are perfect for intimate elopements far from the tourist crowds. As a passionate alpinist, I am also open to alpine shoots beyond the Dolomites. If you bring an affinity for mountain sports, we can plan even more extraordinary and adventurous locations together. For serious enquiries with a firm booking, I share my personal insider tips exclusively with you.

Focus on emotional highlights and reactions. The ceremony is usually filmed in its entirety with a B-camera.

Yes, provided that on-site conditions allow it. I hold A1/A2/A3 ENAC certification, which allows legal drone flights across most locations in the Dolomites with prior airspace clearance.

Standard is 1 videographer. A second cameraman can be booked optionally.

Your film comes with licensed music that I select to match the mood of your day. Is there a song that means something to you? Let me know: for the private use of your film I am happy to include your personal songs. For everything you want to share publicly, the licensed soundtrack keeps you on the safe side.

Yes, 1 revision round is included. Further changes will be charged additionally.

We cannot control the weather, but it shouldn't define your day. I make the best of every situation: planned scenes are adapted flexibly, and atmospheric alternatives are found on-site to capture emotions authentically.

You will receive your films digitally in highest 4K resolution (cinematic 16:9 format) via a convenient download link (Cloud/WeTransfer). This allows you to easily share the memories with family and friends.

All films are shot and delivered in 4K, cinematic 16:9. Vertical 9:16 versions for social media are not included, but can be booked as an add-on. Please note: vertical versions are cropped from the 16:9 original, so part of the framing on the left and right is lost. Please let me know before the wedding if you would like vertical versions.

Travel costs are not included in the price. Arrival and departure are charged additionally at €0.60/km.

The handover of raw footage is not intended. Only the finished video will be delivered.

By email, WhatsApp or phone - whatever suits you best.

Yes, after booking you will receive a written contract with all details.

A one-time postponement of your date within 12 months is free of charge, provided I am available on the new date. If you cancel, the 30% deposit is retained; for cancellations within 30 days of the date, 50% of the package price is due.

Yes, you are free to share your film. I appreciate a link.

No, but I guarantee the highest quality and work closely with you until you are satisfied.

Yes, additional hours can be booked for an extra charge.

Yes, a seat and meals are kindly provided. A strategically well-placed seat allows me to instantly capture spontaneous moments like speeches.

Lago di Braies lies within the Natural Park Fanes-Senes-Braies, for which specific guidelines for video production apply. I take care of the necessary details in advance and inform you thoroughly. In addition, the lake road is temporarily closed to private vehicles (usually between 09:00 and 16:00). An early arrival at sunrise allows direct parking and beautiful light without the crowds.

A Dolomites elopement does not require a civil ceremony directly on site. Most couples marry at the registry office in their home town and use the Dolomites as the setting for symbolic vows or a cinematic shoot. Those who wish to marry officially in Italy must notify the local municipality (Comune) 30 to 60 days in advance.

The peak season runs from mid-June to early October, when all high-alpine routes and cable cars are operational. Golden hour in July and August is in the morning between 05:30 and 06:45 and in the evening between 20:00 and 21:15. Larch forest shoots are particularly spectacular in late September, when the needles glow golden. Winter elopements on the Alpe di Siusi are possible from December to March.

Yes. The toll road to the large car park at Rifugio Auronzo costs approximately 40 EUR per car and requires advance online reservation (as of 2026). There are several spectacular spots on site. For video production, the guidelines of the natural park apply, which we strictly follow.

For pure elopement shoots in nature, I usually offer two dates. We set a main date and a backup date. Should the weather allow no filming at all on both days, we either film under the given conditions or we arrange a new shooting package.
