My photographic style is documentary photojournalism applied to weddings.
The premise is: you don’t have to become somebody else on your wedding day.
A wedding is the opposite: a celebration of who you are as people, as a couple, as a community. 

My job is to become invisible and capture all the moments that will spontaneously happen during the day, without interfering (with a couple of exceptions).

Group shots are something else. Even though they are indeed posed shots, I agree they can represent an important part of the memories of a wedding (of course, also depending on your heritage, traditions, personal desires…). Group shots can become a painful part of the day if your guests are forced to stand in line waiting for their turn while a bossy photographer directs them around. Over time I found that group shots can be handled in a swift, gentle and easy way and I’ll make sure this moment, should you want group shots, doesn’t interfere too much with the course of the day.

I understand that the classical idea of wedding photography leads you to think that you have to do a couple’s photoshoot, otherwise you’ll end up not having photos of the two of you.
Well, that is simply not true. Will you not be hugging, kissing, sharing a laugh, a toast or a dance during your wedding day? Those moments will tell the story of a true moment.
That said, I remain flexible: if you wish to take some time for yourselves, a little romantic getaway, that’s no problem at all. In fact, it could be an opportunity to enjoy a few minutes alone, away from the whirlwind of the party: I will follow you and capture the moment with my photographs, even giving you a bit of direction if need be.

I will deliver all the pictures, all edited and post processed singularly, in high resolution.

I have recently developed a special way of delivering pictures.
At the end of the day you will receive a USB stick with a first part of the pictures, all shot in Jpeg format and directly processed in-camera with Fujifilm’s film simulation filters. These filters replicate the look and feel of Fuji’s analog film photographs: this is as close to shooting on film as it gets, but with the high definition and quality of a digital file.
This way,  you will get to immediately re-experience all the beautiful moments of your wedding day, flipping through a timeless and consistent body of pictures.
After a few of weeks, you’ll then receive the edited pictures, all singularly post-processed in color and black and white.

In accordance with my documentary approach, my editing is minimally invasive.
When you look at the pictures, hopefully, you will be brought back to the wedding day in an unfiltered way: quality of light, colors, skintones, everything will be as close as possible to reality. I don’t apply “filters” because even though they might be trendy now, in a few years who knows what you will think scrolling through your wedding photos….We’re going for timeless!

No, during weddings I always partner up with a second professional photographer, who shares my vision on documentary photography and will be present with me troughout the day. Two sets of eyes, two backups of photos, two invisible witnesses capturing all the moments… This will allow you to have a truly comprehensive look on everything that happened that day.

Not directly, but I have close colleagues, with whom I work all the time, who can take care of those services carrying on the same style and approach to weddings – which, in my opninion, is crucial.

I have a trusted colleague on my team who is in charge of albums, so should you wish to include an album in your package, just let me know and we can talk more in depth about it.

I work with Fujifilm high-end APS-C cameras, specifically the XT-4 and X100-VI cameras, with three fixed focus lenses (18mm, 23mm and 56mm).

I own a flash, and I always pack a couple of small LED lights for emergencies, but I prefer not to use them, if possible. I’d much rather create something that resembles the atmosphere and the kind of light that you will experience on the day. I always advise couples to think in advance about the lighting for their wedding, and not just for the photos but for their own enjoyment as well! I have seen many a wedding battling with the theme of lighting, resulting in dark dinners where nobody could see what was in their plate, and even darker dancing parties…There are easy fixes for this, and I am available to advise on the topic.

If you read all about my philosophy, you saw my portfolio and you are positive that this kind of photography speaks to your heart; if you wish to spend your wedding day without knowing the photographers are there; if you wish to have true, captured memories that will last you a lifetime; if you wish to spend your wedding having fun with your family and friends, and not thinking about the photos….
