Tell us about your business!
I have been a wedding photographer for about 15 years, I studied 3 years of photography to start with and at the beginning I wanted to do fashion photography, but mainly I liked to photograph everything. And then I found that the only area where you can really photograph every genre of photography at the same time is weddings. And so, I started to pursue my own style, but the road is always open and it's long and fascinating to go down. My intent is to capture authentic moments, not forgetting every little detail of the day, and there is no shortage of blurry photos and film photos because imperfection is totally a part of me.
What would you like couples to know about you?
That I like to put everyone at ease by joking all the time but at the same time I am an honest and professional person, I always put that first. And I like during the day to be able to be present and invisible, helpful if my help is needed, a friend and their third eye that records every moment so they can enjoy the day and relive it later forever.
I love flowers and all animals in general, dogs in particular, if they are present at your wedding it will be even more fun for me. Last thing: I am a very emotional person, I always cry at the bride's dance with daddy and if there are grandparents then I don't hold back.
Where are you based?
Roma, Italy.
Do you travel for weddings?
Yes, of course, I love traveling.
How would you describe your style?
At times poetic and at times editorial, but always and everywhere authentic.
What is your most memorable career moment?
Being a speaker at the Legacy Workshop and a year later at the Reminiscence Workshop.
What inspires you?
Movies, paintings, music and whatever happens around me.
How would you describe your working style?
As I said, I like to capture the day in every detail. I could not miss any key moment from preparations to the party!
Do you shoot digitally, on film or both?
Absolutely, both!
Do you have custom packages according to individual needs?
Yes I do, Weddings and clients' needs are not standardized, so I price according to different factors.
What is a favourite product or service that you offer and why?
Albums, when requested.
Where would you love to travel to for work?
Many places, for instance USA, Ireland, Egypt but still everywhere.
Who is your dream client?
I love couples who fall in love with photos and want that kind of memory for them as well. Not for me are those who ask me to change colors, use less blur or less black and white, and those who don't like film.
What is your advice to couples getting married?
Choose with your heart the value you place on your future memories because they will not come back, there can only be new ones, and once your day arrives trust who you have chosen and enjoy the day to the fullest.
