I am an English photographer but I live in Italy in Tuscany. I am available to photograph your wedding anywhere in Italy or internationally. I have photographed weddings in Italy in many destinations including Tuscany, Florence, Cortona, Siena, Lucca, Montepulciano, Rome, Positano, Sorrento, Ravello, Capri, Venice, Malcesine, Sirmione, Orta, Verona, Perugia, Assisi, Todi, Sardinia to name but a few. Internationally I have photographed weddings in Greece, Thailand and the U.S.A.
My work has been featured in Cosmopolitan Bride, Wedding Magazine and Italy Magazine.
I speak Italian fluently and don’t mind helping out with translating if there are some language problems. If your wedding party is mixed with English and Italian speaking guests that’s no problem, I can communicate with both.
If I had to some up my style of photography then I would have to say it is “modern contemporary classical candid pseudo photo-journalistic reportage portraiture…” At this point I can hear you cry “What on earth is that!” What it means is that I don’t believe you can completely photograph a wedding in one style of photography so I try to do them all in order to get the most extensive coverage of probably the most important day of your lives so far. I will leave you to enjoy your wedding day without having a photographer in your face, I prefer to work unnoticed from a distance to capture emotions and spontaneity, most people say they were unaware of me at work. However, if necessary I will guide you and do my best to make your day go perfectly.
My clients often say that I am more than a wedding photographer that I am also a wedding coordinator. I have been to hundreds of weddings and so I have gained a lot of knowledge that isn’t just relative to the photos. If I see that you are not sure what to do or where to go I will help you and your guests as I want get the best photos and keep things moving. Apart from that I work in background most of the time letting everyone have a good time and be themselves. For the group photos I will speak up in order to call the required people and get the photos done as quickly as possible. I don’t like stiff formals so I will interact with you and get everyone to have fun during the groups, they don’t need to be a bunch of dull photos.
I prefer to shoot a whole wedding rather than just a part of a wedding as I like to cover the whole story of your wedding day. Generally I have found that 10hrs are normally sufficient. If you require more than 10hrs then let me know. If you really don’t want me to photograph your whole wedding I will also consider doing less than 10hrs. I just prefer to cover the whole wedding in detail from an artistic point of view as this allows me to create the best album possible. If you are having a welcome dinner and want that photographed too then let me know and we can sort something out. I also do engagement and honeymoon shoots.
If you are visiting Italy because you are considering getting married there I would be happy to meet you and show you my work. Otherwise I have many examples online and I can email you plenty of information.
If you are interested in booking I will draw up a legal contract between us. The contract is simply a professional formality that gives us both peace of mind.
Once you have booked I will send you my list of tips to improve your wedding photos and we will start working together to get the best results!
