So glad you stopped by! I’m a proudly italian wedding, family and surprise proposal photographer based in Rome serving also Tuscany, Lake Como, Southern Italy and beyond! I come from photojournalism, meaning my style is a blend of fine art photography and reportage. I was the first photographer (really!) in Rome to make the surprise proposal in the Ethernal City a real kind of photo and give an authentic iconicity to wedding, engagement and family photo-sessions. Capturing moments, relationships. Perceiving emotions and situations, not creating them artificially. Telling the story of a vibrant and colourful day.
