Courtney and Jacob are an American couple who chose Italy for their romantic and intimate destination wedding, surrounded by their closest family and friends. The Amalfi Coast had always been a dream for them, which led them to the breathtaking Anantara Convento di Amalfi Grand Hotel—an iconic venue suspended between the sea and the sky. Formerly a 13th-century Capuchin monastery, the Anantara Convento offers one of the most evocative settings on the Amalfi Coast. Its historic cloister, nestled within ancient white stone columns, creates a timeless and sacred atmosphere—one of the most beautiful places to exchange vows in Southern Italy. With panoramic views of the Mediterranean and the charm of centuries-old architecture, it’s a dream come true for couples looking to blend Italian elegance, history, and beauty into one unforgettable day. This historic beauty is so clearly evident in Courtney and Jacob’s wedding, planned with the help of the event team of Anantara Convento di Amalfi and captured on camera by Eleonora Ferolla Photography.
