About Me

I grew up in Ravello, on the Amalfi Coast, surrounded by the sea, the colours and the landscapes that have shaped the way I see the world.
Long before photography became my profession, these places were simply home. Looking back, I think they taught me something I still carry with me today: to pay attention to the little things, to light, to gestures and to the feelings that often go unnoticed.
Photography came into my life almost naturally. What started as a way of looking at the world eventually became the way I chose to experience it.
Today, I am a destination wedding photographer in Italy, photographing weddings throughout the country and beyond. The Amalfi Coast will always be where my story began, but what keeps me travelling is the privilege of entering so many different stories and documenting them in my own way.
I don’t want your wedding to feel like a photoshoot. I want you to experience it — to be with your people, to laugh, to dance, to get emotional and to forget, at least for a while, that there is a camera around.
My role is to be there without taking over the day — observing, anticipating and knowing when to step closer and when to disappear. I look for the moments that happen naturally, the gestures between people, the expressions that last only a second and all the things you may not notice until you look back at your photographs.
I believe the best photographs are not always the ones that are perfectly planned. Sometimes they are the ones that simply happened.
After all these years, photography still makes me feel alive, and photographing weddings is still one of the things that makes me happiest in the world. I feel incredibly lucky to be invited into such an important part of people’s lives — to witness their families, their friendships, their excitement and all the little chaos that makes each wedding completely different from the next.
I don’t take that trust for granted.
Every love story is different. To tell yours, I use my eyes, my heart and all the love I have.
Because to truly tell a love story, you have to love.

Every love story is unique and special. To tell it, I use my eyes, my heart and all the love I have — because to truly tell a love story, you have to love.
