Q&A

A few notes on approach, availability and the way I work.

Approach

My approach begins with understanding the rhythm, atmosphere and emotional temperature of a wedding before shaping its images.

Some moments need to be left untouched. Others deserve intention — the right light, the right movement, the right distance, the right sense of composition.

I move between observation and gentle direction, allowing the day to remain true while creating images that feel refined, elegant and emotionally believable.

My work lives in this balance: real moments, editorial sensibility, and a visual form that feels considered without ever becoming artificial.

Yes — with discretion, and with purpose.

For most of the day, I allow things to unfold naturally. I do not want people to perform for the camera or feel interrupted by it. But when direction can make an image stronger, more elegant or more timeless, I will guide you.

This may mean finding the best light, refining a movement, adjusting the composition, or simply helping you slow down for a moment.

It is about creating the right conditions for you to feel at ease, look your best, and still feel completely yourselves.

Not at all.

Most couples are not used to being photographed, and they do not need to be. You do not need to know how to pose, where to look, or what to do with your hands.

I will guide you when it helps — quietly, clearly and naturally — so that you can feel confident without feeling staged.

The goal is not to transform you into someone else, but to create images where you look composed, beautiful and unmistakably yourselves.

Availability & Booking

As soon as you feel my work may be the right fit for your wedding.

I accept a limited number of celebrations each year, so availability depends on the date, the location and the kind of coverage you are looking for.

For destination weddings or multi-day events, I recommend getting in touch as early as possible.

Your date is officially reserved once the collection is confirmed, the agreement is signed, and the booking retainer is received.

Until then, dates cannot be held, as I often receive enquiries for the same period.

I offer carefully designed collections, but every wedding is different.

Coverage can be shaped around the rhythm of your celebration: a single wedding day, a welcome dinner, a pre-wedding session, a multi-day destination event, or a more intimate gathering.

After receiving your enquiry, I will suggest the most appropriate solution for your plans.

Coverage & Destinations

I am based in Rome, Italy, and photograph destination weddings throughout Italy and internationally.

I regularly work in Rome, Tuscany, Lake Como, the Amalfi Coast, Venice, and other destination locations.

Yes. I travel throughout Italy and internationally for destination weddings.

Travel and accommodation are usually considered separately and are planned according to the location, the duration of the event and the team required.

When needed, I prefer to arrive before the wedding day, so I can walk through the venue, understand the light and atmosphere, and avoid rushing on the wedding day.

Yes.

Many weddings are not limited to one day. Welcome dinners, rehearsal dinners, boat trips, civil ceremonies, private events and post-wedding gatherings can all become part of the story.

Multi-day coverage is often the best way to document the full atmosphere of a destination wedding.

Yes, for couples who wish to preserve their wedding in motion.

Photography remains at the heart of my work. When a film is requested, I involve a selected team of filmmakers whose approach is aligned with the studio's visual language: discreet, elegant and emotionally honest.

This allows wedding photography and film to move in the same direction, without turning the wedding day into a production.

In most cases, I work with a second photographer.

For a wedding day, two photographers are usually the right starting point: they allow us to follow different preparations, multiple perspectives, guests, reactions and moments happening at the same time, without interrupting the natural rhythm of the day.

For larger weddings, complex logistics, multiple locations or a very dense schedule, a wider team may be recommended.

For very intimate events or elopements, a more essential coverage with one photographer can be considered when it truly fits the nature of the day.

Images & Delivery

A preview selection is usually delivered shortly after the wedding.

The complete edited gallery is delivered within the agreed timeframe, with great attention to selection, colour, rhythm and consistency.

The final result is not only about delivering images quickly, but about delivering a story that feels refined, coherent and complete.

There is no fixed number that applies to every wedding.

The final gallery depends on the duration of the coverage, the number of events, the guest count and the rhythm of the day. I carefully select the strongest images, removing duplicates, tests and anything that does not belong to the story.

The aim is not to deliver everything. The aim is to deliver what matters.

No.

RAW files are unfinished material. They do not represent the final work, the visual direction, the colour, the selection or the rhythm of the story.

Every delivered image is carefully selected and edited to reflect my vision and the atmosphere of your wedding.

Yes. Every delivered image is carefully edited and refined in line with my visual style.

You will receive the full gallery both in color and in black and white, with each version treated with the same care and consistency.

The result is an elegant, polished and timeless collection of photographs, ready to be preserved, printed and shared.

Privacy, Albums & Final Details

I love sharing selected stories, but privacy is always respected.

Some weddings may be featured on my website, social media or editorial platforms, only when appropriate and agreed. If your event requires full privacy or specific confidentiality, we can discuss this before confirming the booking.

Yes.

Printed work is an important part of the experience. Albums and fine printed materials can be designed after the wedding, with a careful selection of images and materials.

A wedding should not live only on a screen.

Tell me where and when your wedding will take place, how much of the celebration you would like documented, and what kind of atmosphere you are imagining.

If the date is available and the project feels aligned, I will send you more information and we can schedule a call.
