How this Works

Let’s create a visual masterpiece of your wedding day! Here’s how our collaboration works:

1. The Spark of Connection:

  • Get in touch! Simply fill out the form, give me a call, or send a WhatsApp message. Tell me about your wedding date and location.
  • Dive into my vision: I’ll send you my complete brochure, showcasing my photographic style and pricing options.
  • Let’s chat! Let’s schedule a video call where we can discuss your wedding dreams, inspirations, and anything else you envision for your special day.

2. Securing Your Date:

  • Locking it in: Once we’re on the same page, I’ll prepare a contract for your review and signature.
  • Confirmation with a smile: A 30% deposit secures your date on my calendar, ensuring I’m fully dedicated to capturing your love story.
  • The final touch: The remaining balance is due one week before the wedding, allowing for a smooth finalization.

3. Pre-Wedding Preparations:

  • Early arrival, big impact: I’ll arrive a day before the wedding to explore the venue and its surroundings, getting a feel for the light and atmosphere.
  • Meet and greet: During this time, we’ll also have a chance to meet in person, allowing you to feel comfortable with me before the big day.

4. Capturing the Journey:

  • Optional rehearsal dinner: If you choose to add the rehearsal dinner to your package, it’s a fantastic way for us to break the ice. It also allows me to get acquainted with your family and friends.
  • Engagement photoshoot: Fancy a short, relaxed photoshoot (around 20 minutes) at a beach, garden, or charming street corner? This adds a beautiful touch to your wedding story and lets you get comfortable in front of the camera.

5. The Wedding Day:

  • From “I do” to dance floor: I’ll be there to capture every precious moment, from the anticipation of getting ready to the joy of celebrating with loved ones. The 12-hour coverage is just a guideline; my focus is on capturing the essence of your day, not the clock.
  • The magic of film: Italy’s stunning light offers a unique opportunity for film photography. You can choose to add a film package to capture your wedding story with an exclusive warmth and character.

6. Beyond the Celebration:

  • The day after: This photoshoot is all about you, the happy couple! Imagine cruising on a boat, exploring on a Vespa, or simply enjoying a romantic stroll. Let’s create unforgettable memories and capture them beautifully.

7. Your Story Delivered:

  • A glimpse of magic: Expect a stunning preview within a week of your wedding, giving you a sneak peek at your special day.
  • The complete masterpiece: Within 8 weeks, you’ll receive your full set of high-resolution photos in a password-protected online gallery, ready to download and share with loved ones.
  • Print the memories: Printed albums are also available, allowing you to cherish your wedding story in a tangible form (crafted during the winter months).

This collaborative process ensures a stress-free and enjoyable experience, resulting in a timeless collection of photographs that captures the magic of your love story.
