Yes! I work in all of Tuscany and beyond and I’m very happy to travel to meet you. However, if the distance is greater than 80 km from where I live, I’ll need to add travel expenses to the total bill.
The dress code will depend on the idea we will come up for the photo session, however, I highly discourage you from wearing black and harsh colours. I usually advise light, earthy, natural colour palette.
I mainly edit photos to give them my signature look. I may remove disturbances and major imperfections, but I don’t retouch the photos heavily.
I do my best to have your photos ready as soon as possible, yet it depends on my workload in a given time of the year. Yet, you can expect your photos to be delivered in:
My prices are tailored to your needs and are divided on the basis of the session duration. The best thing to do is to have a look at the breakdown of my packages, decide which option you’re interested in and get in touch with me. You can find the details of the packages in each section Weddings, Elopements, Couple, Intimate, Portrait.
What you get in the end is an online gallery with a selection of your beautiful couple photos. Most importantly, though, you will receive an abundance of beautiful memories to look back at.
Additionally, you can also decide to order an album or prints with your memories.
Of course and I would be delighted! Pre-wedding/engagement sessions are a wonderful way of getting to know your photographer and getting used to being in front of the lens. Pre-wedding / engagement photo session also gives us more freedom as you can choose your location, dress code and timing. We can tailor it to your needs and imagination.

Yes! I mainly work in Tuscany, but I’m very happy to travel in all of Italy and abroad. However, if the distance is greater than 100km from where I live, I’ll need to add travel expenses to the total bill.
Yes, I would be delighted to travel abroad for your wedding. I’m not able to take many destination weddings abroad because of the dense workload here in Tuscany and my family life, but I’m more than happy to talk about it!
Elopements are my absolutely favourite! I’m available for elopemements both in Tuscany and abroad. To find out more visit Elopements page.
It’s important that the spaces where your photos will be taken are well lit and tidy. The room where you get ready needs to be spacious and have as much daylight as possible. Artificial light is not advised. Light is crucial both for make-up artists as well as photographers and the more of it the better.
When it comes to tidiness, I know it may be challenging, but it’s crucial to at least remove colourful, intrusive elements from the background, as there is a risk that they will end up in the photos. Objects to watch out for are colourful packages, water bottles, suitcases, plastic bags, trays with unfinished meal etc. It may be useful to delegate someone who can take care of that aspect.
As a wedding photographer, I try to be invisible and truthfully record the moments that you live on your wedding day, however it’s important to have the timing coordinated in order to ensure that I don’t miss anything important. The two most critical moments of the day are the bride’s and groom’s portraits before leaving for the ceremony and the couple photoshoot later on.
The getting-ready phase very often takes more time than expected and in the end the bride leaves in a hurry without giving a thought to photographs. To avoid that I strongly advise to start hair and make-up early, so that I can have at least 15 minutes for the bride’s portraits when she’s ready to leave.
The bride and groom photoshoot later in the day is easier to organize, but it’s important to also allocate 30-40 mins in your timetable for it. I usually recommend taking these photos in the location or in the countryside nearby. To get the most beautiful, warm light it’s best to plan the photos around sunset (the hour varies depending on the time of year).
I usually work by myself, but if you feel that you need a second point of view, I certainly can arrange for another photographer.
It’s your choice whether you’d like the group photos. If it’s important for you to have all the guests photographed, then group photos are the safest way to ensure that. Please consider that group photos take at least half an hour (depending on the number of guests) and they need to be inserted in the timetable. Usually the best way to go around it, is to have the group photos right after the ceremony or during the aperitivo.
I do my best to photograph everyone. Yet it may happen that there are guests who don’t wish to be photographed or “hide” from the camera. In such cases I don’t insist, as I believe in freedom of choice. It is also natural that the more lively, extrovert guests who put themselves in the centre of attention end up having more photos, as the attention often goes to them.
Yes, I have a few video crews that I can recommend. We can have a chat about it on our call.
I strongly advise against it, as it interferes with my workflow. Amateur photographers / videographers don’t have the knowledge and experience to know how to move during the wedding. I feel responsible for the quality of the work I provide and I’d like to limit any possible risk that something goes wrong.
I do my best to have your photos ready as soon as possible, yet it depends on my workload. In most cases it won’t take longer than 4 months.
Yes. I can prepare a beautiful wedding album with your memories. It is not included in the packages and the price varies depending on the number of pages, size and finishing. Just let me know that you’re interested and we’ll go through the details.
My prices are tailored to your needs, so the best thing to do is to get in touch with me. Tell me your date, describe your wedding and how many guests you are planning to invite. I’ll get back to you with the info about my prices. In the meantime here is the breakdown of my wedding packages.
What you get in the end is an online gallery with a selection of your wedding photos ready to share with friends, family and guests. If you wish, you can also add prints and a photo album to your order. Most importantly, though, you will receive an abundance of beautiful memories to look back at.
