Intimate portraits – couple photo session
Your photo session and portraits as a couple are most likely the photos that will make it to enlargement, and ultimately onto a wall in your home. After the wedding ceremony, at some stage, I will take you for a few photos together.
We're Not Comfortable Having Our Photos Taken
We all feel uncomfortable when we have to do things that we have little or no experience doing. Unless you are a celebrity or model, it is unlikely that you are often photographed by a professional photographer, hence, I understand that it will be a new feeling for you.
I choose to leave your photos until later in the day. This way you are feeling amazing. You are now married and your wedding is going perfectly… you are having the best day of your lives.
When I am taking your photos I am not going to pose you making you feel awkward, I am going to ask you to take a stroll, hold hands, talk to each other and express yourselves to one another. Walking and talking are things you do all day, every day, so you are experts at it. Total relaxation is normal when we are doing things that we don’t even have to think about.
Admittedly, I always choose somewhere with beautiful surroundings and fantastic light for your photos. By doing things that for you are completely effortless you will get photos looking happy and in love in one of the most beautiful places on earth. There are plenty of examples on my website.
How Long Will Our Couple Session & Portraits Take?
In the months running up to the wedding, we will discuss how much time you want to allocate to these pictures. It doesn’t take long at all to do them.
Remember you may not be as quick on your feet as you usually are in your wedding dress and heels! 15 minutes is the minimum amount of time for your couple session, I can create a lot of photos in fifteen minutes. If you prefer to take less time that’s fine and if you want more then great! More time means we can go to more places and change the scenery: so if you want the vineyard shots as well as olives, and cypress trees and white roads then we will have time to go to them.
My clients say they really enjoy their private photo sessions. It’s an opportunity to get away from the guests and spend a little time alone. During the entire day you will have been apart up until the ceremony, and then after the ceremony, you have people to talk to and so you won’t really have an opportunity to be together. Well, now is your chance.
I want to take you away to a quiet place with some beautiful scenery and perfect light, and just let you be you.
Advice To Get Better Photos/Portraits Of Yourselves
Contact us- Make sure you check and refresh your hair and makeup before we start the photos.
- If you want to be adventurous consider switching to a pair of wedges that are the same height as your heels. It will make it easier to walk on soft ground.
- Try and avoid creating tan lines prior to your wedding.
- Moisturize – dry skin, especially the lips is very difficult to Photoshop.
- Make sure you are not hungry!
After your short private photo session, you can either head back to the cocktails and aperitifs or it may be time to go to the wedding dinner and the reception.
Incredible photos for everyone!

Jules has a professional eye for photography and fine details. He was very meticulous with all of my poses and worked with my husband and I to ensure we had the best shots possible.
He was great at directing my wedding party and even helped keep my train perfect. He knows his way with lighting, poses and backgrounds.
All of my pictures came out beautiful! He even helped with some editing afterwards which wasn’t even included in our pricing. Jules goes above and beyond to see his clients are happy. I’m so happy he was part of my dream wedding in Italy!

My wife and I hired Jules to photograph our dream wedding in Lake Como. He came highly recommended and certainly did not disappoint.
We could not have been happier with the quality and everyone who has seen them is absolutely amazed. It is not an exaggeration to say that the photos truly feel like they could be in a magazine. His eye and style are that of a true master of his craft.
He was also a pleasure to work with. We both felt at ease the whole time and it was obvious that he is truly passionate about his work. He brings an energy and personality that reflects this. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a top notch wedding photographer.

We honestly couldn’t recommend Jules more. From the moment we contacted him to book in a consultation call, he was professional, friendly and clearly an expert. We found him on Instagram and loved his style of photography.
As for a lot of people, we hadn’t planned a wedding before and he was very helpful explaining the process. We quickly signed an agreement with Jules and had him locked in for our wedding! We booked him very early, as we knew photographers can get booked up in advance, and throughout the lead up to our wedding Jules couldn’t have been more helpful. He told us exactly what he needed from us – things like a list of photo’s we’d like etc. He also helped us find a number of other vendors including hair and make up, and even a videographer two weeks before – as we had a last minute need for one! As we got closer to the event, we had lots of questions (probably nerves), but he was always on hand to help us out! On the big day, Jules was a superstar.
There is no other way to describe it! He was organised and made sure everyone was where they needed to be, so that we got the most beautiful wedding photos. There were small things we hadn’t thought of (like someone introducing us to the wedding dinner) and he made sure everything was perfect! He delivered the photos to us via an online portal really quickly, and they are all just gorgeous. We honestly wouldn’t have had such an incredible day without Jules there to help. We hope our paths cross again!
- We picked Jules because we loved the way he captured light so perfectly in his work and we were not disappointed at all when we received our photographs. He captured exactly what we were after and they were even more ........Stephen Townsend
We picked Jules because we loved the way he captured light so perfectly in his work and we were not disappointed at all when we received our photographs.
He captured exactly what we were after and they were even more stunning than we could have hoped for!
We met him at our venue a few months before and him and his wife we a delight and made us feel at ease.
On the day, he cracked jokes yet orchestrated us professionally.
We were delighted to receive all of the photographs less than a month later, which is unusual as many photographers can take several months!
His invoicing and communication were always professional and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him if you want the perfect wedding pictures.
- Jules was great to work with - he was extremely focused and helpful and knew exactly what to do to get the right shots. The quality of the photos are fantastic and the turnaround time was exceptional - we had over 200 ........Claire Willcock
Jules was great to work with – he was extremely focused and helpful and knew exactly what to do to get the right shots.
The quality of the photos are fantastic and the turnaround time was exceptional – we had over 200 photos of the day within 4 days of the wedding and the remainder (about 2000) within a week.
Thank you Jules!!

After we had decided to get married in Venice we became aware of Jules through his phenomenal website and were immediately impressed by the quality his photos and the incomparable style in which he took them. After seeing his pictures, the portfolios of other Italian photographers just faded in comparison.
Of course, we wondered if our photos could come close to this beauty. And what can we say, our hopes have been exceeded a lot! We think the photos that Jules created can hardly be surpassed in terms of beauty, warmth, atmosphere, the way he manages to use the sunlight etc. We are not used to being photographed, but Jules really managed to make us feel very comfortable and relaxed all the time which we think you can clearly see in the pictures!
We are so lucky to have selected him, because he really let the memories of our most beautiful day become alive again when we received the pictures after only 2 weeks! (We’ve heard from other couples who had to wait months until they got their pictures from their photographer…)
In addition, he has not only proven himself to be a highly skilled photographer but also an incredibly warm-hearted and helpful person and supporter in the planning of our wedding when we faced some sudden and unexpected problems. His tips and commitment have really saved us the one time or another! At this point also special thanks to his wife, who has also contributed to the success of our wedding and as we found out later is a wedding planner herself, which was certainly of great benefit, too.
