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 was a fantastic photographer for our wedding in Tuscany and I’m still in awe of how well he captured all aspects of our wedding. The quality is amazing and you can see every detail within each photo. I really wanted someone that would capture the gorgeous landscape of our destination wedding and he did exactly that.
He’s very professional and gives great guidance when you are posing which is extremely comforting.
I couldn’t believe how quick we got the photos as well, within 3 weeks of our wedding we had all of them, I don’t know anyone else that has a photographer that has that kind of service.

Even during a global pandemic, my wedding elopement, organised by Jules and his wife Sabrina, was more magical than I could ever have imagined. When it was safe to proceed with weddings again, Jules and Sabrina sprang into action and organised everything quickly but the entire process was completely stress free for me.
From the accommodation recommendations, to the Catholic wedding ceremony, to the flowers, to the most magical dinner setting that evening, the entire day from start to finish was beyond our wildest dreams. Their passion for what they do was so evident and I count myself very fortunate that my wedding was organised by Jules and Sabrina.
However the most important element for me was my wedding photos as I wanted to ensure my family and friends who were not there could relive our day with us. Our photos exceeded all my expectations and people who have seen them are still gushing over how amazing they are. Jules is exceptionally talented and if you place your trust in him to capture your event you will not be disappointed.
I could not recommend Jules and his wife Sabrina more highly. We feel truly fortunate to have been able to secure their services for our wedding and because of them both, it was a day we will treasure forever.

If you have the chance to have Jules photograph your wedding, do it… Right now. We had our ceremony in Ravello, Italy in July 2022 (setting the stage, so that you fully understand how hot it was).
It was an intimate ceremony so just myself, my groom, and some family members – I did not have bridesmaids or anyone to help with other tasks. Jules was truly a Jack of all trades on this day – not only giving us great customer service by taking AMAZING photos, but also moving around clothes, furniture, accessories, giving us bug spray, and communicating with the hotel staff to ensure that our day (and photos!) went as smoothly as possible. Jules was professional, punctual, and thoughtful the entire day & evening that he was with us.
After about 15 minutes of taking photos in the extreme heat & humidity, it would have been easy to give up – but Jules was there to take photographs, so he hyped us up, gave us energy, and made us feel like we could really take beautiful photos even though we were hot, fatigued, and ready for cold beverages.
We took photos at hidden gem locations that only the eye of a legendary photographer like Jules could find. Fast forward to less than 48 hours later, Jules had already selected, edited, and sent me all the photos in an easy-to-access format. Now, the best part: The photos. They were utterly stunning and perfect.
I couldn’t imagine having any more gorgeous photos from our special day that captured our feelings, the atmosphere, and the beautiful location. We were so lucky to have found Jules and had him patiently guide us through the photography process on our special day in beautiful Italy.

Finding Jules might have been best thing that ever happened to us. My fiancé and I wanted to get married in Italy, and we decided to go for it about 8 days in advance.
We found Jules website and were blown away by the quality of his photographs, and we instantly knew he was who we wanted to work with to capture all the special moments on our wedding day. Jules and I emailed back and forth a few times, and he was always quick to respond, and was helpful and honest about everything I needed to know when planning a wedding in a place I had never been to before.
He understood that I was putting a lot of faith in him to guide me through the planning process, and he took that responsibility seriously. I liked him right away because I could feel how important it was to him, that we have the best day of our lives. He really wanted that for us. Jules has amazing contacts all over Italy, so after a few days of getting the basics in place, he brought in Simona (from Happy Brides) to help plan the rest of the details, and together we formed a wedding team that truly changed our lives.
All the way through the planning process I felt cared for and important. This was not just another wedding in a busy schedule for him, but it was an opportunity to help us live out our dream.
I am not someone who loves posing for pictures, and I am not overly comfortable being photographed but Jules made it a really fun experience for me. He was funny, and relaxed, and in control of the situation but always in a way that made me smile and feel like I was able to enjoy the attention. I felt like a celebrity for the day.
I can only speak for myself as the groom, but Jules took the part of the day I was least looking forward to, and made it a fun and memorable experience that I now cherish.
Earlier this week we got out pictures back, and once again we were blown away! After the wedding ceremony we were in a race against time to get as many good shots in good locations as we could before the sun went down. It was so much fun running around and getting in place, and having a special moment just in time to turn and run around somewhere else to do it again.
Again, Jules with his incredible eye for lighting was in control and put us in beautiful spots, and in our pictures I/we are laughing in half of them because it was so comfortable and so much fun. Almost every night this week wife and I have spent hours looking through all of Jules’s work, and the more I look at them, the more I appreciate him.
He is a special photographer, in a special country, and he captured our love and our day with such an amazing eye, I can’t thank him enough. We enjoyed this experience enough where we are already planning on going back to Italy in a few months and plan to call Jules just to hang out socially! We signed up for a wedding photographer and accidentally made a friend.
I recommend him with 100% of me and wish my experience on everyone who reads this.
Thank you for everything Jules! Without you, none of this could have happened. See you again soon my friend!
-Andrew
