# Wedding photographers in Umbria > Stone hill towns, olive groves, vineyards and a wide lake in Italy’s green heart, next door to Tuscany. - URL: https://lensandvows.com/italy/umbria - Italy: https://lensandvows.com/italy (Markdown: https://lensandvows.com/italy.md) - Português: https://lensandvows.com/pt/italy/umbria.md - Español: https://lensandvows.com/es/italy/umbria.md - Italiano: https://lensandvows.com/it/italy/umbria.md - Deutsch: https://lensandvows.com/de/italy/umbria.md - Français: https://lensandvows.com/fr/italy/umbria.md - Lens & Vows: https://lensandvows.com/ Umbria, between Tuscany, Lazio and the Marche, is known as Italy’s green heart: wooded hills, olive groves and vineyards, wide valleys and stone towns on the hilltops. Perugia, the capital, looks out over the Tiber valley; Assisi, the town of Saint Francis, is a UNESCO World Heritage site; Orvieto stands on a cliff of volcanic rock; and near Terni the Cascata delle Marmore falls through the woods. Weddings here look much like Tuscany’s, only quieter: a castle, a restored hilltop hamlet — a borgo — or an agriturismo, a farm with rooms among olive trees and vines, and dinner at a long table outside as the valley turns gold. ## When to marry in Umbria - **Best:** May, June, September - **Good with planning:** April, July, August, October May, June and September are the classic months: warm days and cool evenings in the hills. July and August are hot and mostly dry, so ceremonies move to the end of the day. Rain returns in September and peaks in November, though October is still mild by day; winters are cold, with fog in the valleys. - **Spring:** Green hills, poppies in the fields by May and yellow broom on the slopes. April is often showery and the evenings stay cool — have a covered plan, and wraps for the guests. - **Summer:** Hot days, sunflowers in the fields and, in early summer, the Piano Grande below Castelluccio flowering red, blue and yellow. Shade and an evening ceremony matter most. - **Harvest and autumn:** The grape harvest runs through September into October, then come the olives and the new oil. In the morning, mist fills the valleys below the hill towns. ## In numbers - **Hottest month, average high:** July and August · 30.0°C — Aeronautica Militare (Wikipedia): https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stazione_meteorologica_di_Perugia_Sant%27Egidio - **Average high in the best months:** May 22.1°C — Aeronautica Militare (Wikipedia): https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stazione_meteorologica_di_Perugia_Sant%27Egidio - **UNESCO World Heritage:** [Assisi, the Basilica of San Francesco and Other Franciscan Sites](https://whc.unesco.org/en/list/990) (2000) Weather station: Perugia Sant’Egidio, normals 1971–2000 · Checked 14 October 2026 ## Where couples marry here The kinds of places — ask your photographer which ones they know well. - **Castles and borghi:** Medieval castles and restored hamlets on the hills, many of them country hotels today: guests, ceremony and dinner on one hilltop. - **Villas and agriturismi:** Country villas and farms with rooms among olive groves and vineyards, Montefalco’s among them: a ceremony on the lawn, dinner outside. - **Hill towns:** Perugia, Assisi, Spello, Todi, Orvieto: a ceremony in a Romanesque church or the old town hall, then portraits in lanes of stone. - **Lake Trasimeno:** Olive groves and pines down to the water, small harbours, islands reached by ferry and sunsets over the lake. ## How the light falls Autumn and winter mornings often begin with mist in the valleys and the hill towns rising above it. Assisi and Spello are built of the pale pink stone of Monte Subasio, which glows at the end of the day, and on Lake Trasimeno the sun sets over the water. Summer middays are hazy — portraits wait for the evening. ## Getting there Perugia has a small airport; most guests fly into Rome or Florence, about two hours away by car, and Orvieto lies on the railway between the two. Beyond the towns, plan on a car — or a driver for the guests. ## Photographers in Umbria They shoot here and know the light. Their whole weddings are on their pages. - [Andrea F.](https://lensandvows.com/photographers/andrea-frascarelli) — Based in: Roma · Shoots in: Umbria, Rome & Lazio, Puglia, Tuscany, Amalfi Coast & Capri, Lake Como & the Italian Lakes, Venice & the Veneto, The Dolomites · from €1,850 · Speaks: English, Italian · Style: Documentary · Verified (We’ve verified their identity) (Markdown: https://lensandvows.com/photographers/andrea-frascarelli.md) - [Luigi O.](https://lensandvows.com/photographers/luigi-orru) — Based in: Roma · Shoots in: Umbria, Rome & Lazio, Tuscany · from €1,250 · Speaks: Italian, English, French, German · Style: Documentary, Fine art, Editorial, Romantic (Markdown: https://lensandvows.com/photographers/luigi-orru.md) - [Marco S.](https://lensandvows.com/photographers/marco-soscia) — Based in: Roma · Shoots in: Umbria, Rome & Lazio, Tuscany, Amalfi Coast & Capri · from €470 · Speaks: English, Italian · Style: Documentary, Fine art, Editorial, Dark & moody · Verified (We’ve verified their identity) (Markdown: https://lensandvows.com/photographers/marco-soscia.md) - [Moris P.](https://lensandvows.com/photographers/moris-puccio) — Based in: Roma · Shoots in: Umbria, Rome & Lazio, Lake Como & the Italian Lakes, Tuscany, Amalfi Coast & Capri, Venice & the Veneto, Puglia, Sicily, The Dolomites, Calabria, Liguria · from €4,200 · Speaks: English, Italian · Style: Documentary (Markdown: https://lensandvows.com/photographers/moris-puccio.md) https://lensandvows.com/photographers?region=umbria https://lensandvows.com/photographers?region=umbria&sort=rating (Highest rated) ## Read before you plan - [What a wedding photographer costs in Italy, region by region and by kind of day](https://lensandvows.com/journal/wedding-photographer-cost-italy): Italian couples pay about €1,850 on average; destination specialists publish €3,500–€8,000 for a full day, and the most sought-after €8,000–€15,000 and more.
