The place

The Dolomites

Pale rock towers above green meadows and alpine lakes — sunrise elopements in summer, snow in winter.

August is one of the easiest months to marry here.

The light

How the light falls there

The pale rock catches the first and last sun and glows pink and orange — locals call it the enrosadira — while the valleys are already in shade. Mountain light is hard at midday and the weather changes fast, so photographers here plan around sunrise and sunset and keep a second spot in mind.
