Italian Wedding Photography

I am British, so English is my mother tongue. I also speak Italian fluently.

You will receive all the original photos, excluding duplicates and ineffective shots where eyes are closed, among other typical discards. These are high-resolution JPEG images suitable for large-size prints. The number of images typically ranges from 800 to 1000, depending on the wedding.

The files are neither watermarked nor protected. They are high-resolution JPEG files that you can easily print in large formats. The contract includes a license for you to use them as you wish for personal purposes.

I do not provide the RAW files, as this is standard practice among professional photographers. You will receive high-resolution JPEG files that are ideal for making large prints and enlargements if desired.

I understand the importance of having every possible photo from your special day. As a wedding photographer, I pride myself on delivering a finished product that captures your love story and reflects my artistic vision and expertise.

RAW files are unprocessed images straight from the camera’s sensor and are not ready for viewing like JPEG files. They require detailed editing to adjust color, exposure, and other factors to meet the high-quality standards my brand is known for.

Consider RAW files as the ingredients of a gourmet meal; they need a skilled chef—or in this case, a photographer—to combine them into a final finished work of art. Just as a chef would not serve raw ingredients, I ensure that you only receive beautifully edited images that narrate your day.

By providing you with carefully curated and edited images, I guarantee that you’re getting a collection of photos at their best, ready to be treasured for years to come. This method also upholds the integrity of my work and ensures consistent quality in the images associated with my brand.

I hope this clarifies why I deliver finished images rather than RAW files. My aim is to present the best possible depiction of your wedding day, with each image meticulously crafted.

My style is cinematic and editorial. I strive for my photos to reflect reality as accurately as possible. We’ve all captured a sunset only to find that the photograph doesn’t do justice to the actual view. My objective is to create genuine and authentic images so that when you look back at them 20 years later, you feel as though you’re reliving those magical moments. My photos avoid fleeting trends because what’s trendy today might not be tomorrow. Timeless elegance and classic style never go out of vogue.

I have been photographing weddings for over 20 years.

Certainly! I have 10 portfolios for you to explore:

5. Bride getting ready
6. Wedding ceremonies
7. Drinks reception and group photos
8. Couples portraits
9. Italian wedding receptions
10. The party!

Select a photographer whose style resonates with you and base your decision primarily on the type and quality of their photos. Effective communication with your photographer is essential for a comfortable experience. A positive rapport with your chosen photographer enhances comfort during the event and contributes to a relaxed photographic experience and superior results.

A photographer with an regularly updated website signifies an active and engaged professional. If a photographer’s portfolio is limited, consider requesting additional examples of their work. A substantial body of consistent work defines a skilled professional.

Ensure that the photographer you select will be the one photographing your wedding as some studios may assign different photographers based on availability. Each photographer possesses a unique eye and style that can significantly impact the outcome.

I began my career as a graphic designer, where I honed my skills in creating high-quality images essential for crafting beautiful websites, brochures, and marketing materials. My experience extended to commercial photography, encompassing beauty, fashion, and architectural photography.

In 2003, my wife (who is Italian) established one of the earliest wedding planning agencies for foreigners seeking to marry in Italy. As we required original photographic material for our marketing and website, I initially captured images during our events and gifted them to the couples. Surprisingly, couples expressed a preference for my photographs over those of their professional wedding photographers. This marked the onset of my career as a wedding photographer over 15 years ago.

Since then, I have had the privilege of photographing hundreds of weddings worldwide, and I continue to find immense joy in this work.

I adapt to your event, ensuring a seamless flow while observing from the background. However, if necessary or upon request, I provide direction.

My coverage is predominantly photo-journalistic, except during group photos and couple portraits where there’s more interaction and direction. Here are examples of my photography during various parts of the day:

1. My portfolio
2. Italian wedding locations
3. Wedding details and accessories
4. Groom getting ready
5. Bride getting ready
6. Wedding ceremonies
7. Drinks reception and group photos
8. Couples portraits
9. Italian wedding receptions
10. The party!

Describing my style succinctly is challenging; however, I’d say it is a fusion of fashion-oriented modern contemporary classical candid pseudo-photo-journalistic reportage portraiture with a focus on details. While this may sound complex, it reflects my belief that a wedding cannot be thoroughly captured using a single style. Therefore, I employ various styles to provide comprehensive coverage of what may be one of the most important days of your lives.

I aim to ensure minimal intrusion and prefer to work discreetly from a distance to capture genuine emotions and spontaneity. Most people remark that they were unaware of my presence during the event. However, if necessary, I’m ready to provide guidance to help ensure your day unfolds perfectly.

I capture many photos throughout the day, prioritizing you and your families. While I cannot guarantee that every individual will be photographed, I strive to capture many guests during the various moments of the day.

My distinct style and unwavering commitment set me apart. I aspire for my images to resonate with you and strive for perfection in every aspect of my work.

I am deeply passionate about what I do and believe that trust and confidence in your photographer are paramount to the success of their work. If our initial discussions lack chemistry or trust, I may recommend seeking another photographer. Establishing complete comfort and trust in your photographer is crucial for achieving exceptional results.

Photographers bear significant responsibility as they are entrusted with preserving memories through their photos. As the saying goes, “when the music stops and the flowers wilt, memories may fade but a photo can last forever”
