My photography style is a seamless blend of fine-art and photojournalism. I don't follow any photography trend, I just love capturing authentic moments in a way that reflects the unique personalities of each couple with an editorial flair. I bring a touch of elegance to every shot and my goal is to curate magazine worthy image that stand the test of time.
The term "luxury" is subjective and can vary among photographers. For my part, I tailored my entire process to make a luxurious experience for the clients. Beyond capturing images with an artistic distinction which transcend the ordinary, the most important part of my job is to understand the couple's unique story, preferences, and style, and tailoring the photography experience to meet their specific needs and make their unique day effortless.
From the moment I am booked by the couple, we engage in an introduction meeting, followed by a week of wedding video calls to address any concerns or incorporate details.

The wedding day goes by so fast that even being away for a couple of minutes can cause stress, and I never want that for any of my clients.

Honoring your journey means not only taking great pictures but also helping you look your best and giving you photos that mean a lot to you.

Because each destination wedding is special, the costs for travel and accommodation are not part of my photography packages. After we talk about the dates and places, I'll create a personalized quote considering your location and the days of shooting, which will then be added to your collection. Unless you specify otherwise, I take care of all the travel arrangements and plans.
I previously shot both in Film and Digital until 2022, but I have since transitioned exclusively to digital photography.

TIPS & INSPIRATION FOR YOUR WEDDING DAY
Creating the ideal wedding involves having inside know-how, handling responsibilities, embracing new ideas, aligning with your vision, and meticulously managing even the smallest details like where escort cards are placed. When your photographer collaborates with a knowledgeable planning team, they can position themselves strategically, capture every aspect of your celebration beautifully, and be the valuable asset you truly deserve.
more about finesse and talent than sheer physical exertion
01. Effortless Wedding
Similar to the opening notes of a beautiful melody, an engagement session serves as an excellent introduction to a destination wedding, marking one of the initial milestones in your exciting journey together. Amidst the whirlwind of wedding preparations, the engagement session becomes a special opportunity to establish a genuine connection with your photographer. It's a chance for them to understand your dynamics, uncover the unique aspects that make your connection special, and, above all, craft remarkable images that capture the essence of this transition and your intimate journey.

the ideal introduction sets the stage: Your Engagement Session.
02. The Engagement session
Beyond just the beautiful locations and stylish outfits that make weddings look amazing in photos, there's another important thing to consider: the wedding-day schedule. Putting effort into planning a well-organized timeline is crucial to keeping your special day smooth and ensuring great portraits. It helps vendors stay on track, avoids delays during preparations, and ensures everyone is where they need to be at the right time. Talk to your vendors about their needs and timing, let your wedding party know when they're needed for photos, work with your photographer to list important people for portraits, and make sure to have some extra time to relax and enjoy the moments.
Time is of the Essence
03. The Wedding Day schedule
Imagine fulfilling your wedding day dreams in the grand suite of a historic palace by Lake Como, surrounded by luxury as you get ready, pampered, and gather your thoughts. Getting ready in a place you love isn't just about its beautiful architecture, but also the natural light it provides (which makes for even better photos if the room has big windows facing east or north) and enough space for your photographer, videographer, makeup and hair artists, and bridesmaids. Plus, an adjoining sitting room can host your family members while they wait for their portraits with you after you're done getting ready.
IT IS ALL ABOUT A PERFECT LIGHT
04. The Wedding Day Prep
Bring a touch of excitement to your big day by combining different elements of your wedding ensemble. The magic lies in these small details, capturing them even before your official bridal portraits. This can include everything from your invitations, bouquet, and shoes to jewelry, veil, and other accessories. Precious gems, gift bags, family heirlooms, dress, and rings all play a part, alongside stamps, handwritten notes, vow booklets, and special fabrics. These meaningful shots set the stage for your special day's visual story. I enjoy adding creativity to these luxurious details during the shoot, so you might want to consider asking your florist for some extra blooms to highlight your flowers and theme.
LET'S BE CREATIVE WITH ALL OF YOUR ACCESSORIES
05. The details are not the details
Make sure you capture special moments with your grandma, siblings, and beloved aunt in your wedding portraits. Whether you prefer group photos before or after the ceremony, planning a list of family photo combinations will help streamline the process and make the most of your time. While it's tempting to grab a quick iPhone snapshot, politely asking your family to put away their phones during these photos ensures everyone looks in the right direction, keeping the focus on the joy of the moment. That's why you might also consider...
Capturing Family Moments Preserves Legacy
06. Family moments captured
Treasuring every moment of your wedding day goes beyond admiring the beautiful details. It involves deliberately taking the time to embrace and cherish the profound emotions, expressing gratitude to family and friends, stealing moments alone with your spouse (like the special First Look or couple portraits), and acknowledging the beginning of a new chapter. With the hustle leading up to the big day, a calm and restful week before will set the right mindset. Prioritize well-balanced meals, share plenty of hugs, and trust your hired teams to handle the rest. Laugh heartily, enjoy every moment, and let your wedding photographs narrate the story.
Embrace and fully experience every moment of your wedding day.
