HOW I DO IT
THE PERFECT BLEND
Capturing Your Wedding with a Candid and Fine Art Touch
When it comes to wedding photography, couples often face the challenge of choosing a style that best captures the essence of their special day.
I offer the perfect solution for couples who want the best of both worlds.
THE ART OF DOCUMENTARY PHOTOGRAPHY
Photographs capture moments you didn't even realize you experienced, evoking an emotional response when you see them.
What's the WOW factor?
1 - Authenticity:
Candid photos capture real emotions and moments, making them deeply personal and meaningful.
2 - Narrative:
This style creates a visual narrative of the day, telling the story through a series of natural, unposed images.
3 - Comfort:
Guests and the couple can relax and enjoy the day without feeling constantly posed or directed,
resulting in more natural photographs.
THE ELEGANCE OF FINE ART
EDITORIAL PHOTOGRAPHY
On the other hand, Fine art, or Editorial wedding photography, is characterized by its artistic approach.
This style often involves careful planning, creative compositions, and a keen eye for detail, producing images that are not just photographs but pieces of art.
These photos are meticulously styled and edited, often resembling those in a high-end bridal magazine.
What's the WOW factor?
1 - Aesthetic Appeal:
Fine art photos are visually stunning, often emphasizing beauty, symmetry, and emotion in a highly polished manner.
2 - Timelessness:
The artistic quality of these photos ensures they remain timeless, serving as elegant keepsakes.
3 - Creativity:
This style allows for creative expression, resulting in unique and memorable images that stand out.

WHAT HAPPENS ON THE BIG DAY
Getting Ready
I start by photographing the bride's and groom's details such as dresses, suits, shoes, and accessories.
I capture candid moments of the bride and bridesmaids getting ready and the groom with his groomsmen.
When the bride is dressing, I stage her in good light for natural shots.
Similarly, I photograph the groom while he dresses, focusing on candid and posed moments.
First Look
A 'first look' allows the couple to see each other before the ceremony, ideal for late-day weddings or those ending after dark.
It enables natural light photos and a more relaxed session post-ceremony.
The Ceremony
During the ceremony, I remain unobtrusive, focusing on key moments like the procession.
After the ceremony, I capture candid moments as the couple and guests celebrate.
Family Formals
Family photos are taken immediately after the ceremony to ensure everyone's presence, starting with large groups and moving to smaller ones.
Outdoor settings are preferred if weather permits, and a family wrangler can help organize the groups.
Bride and Groom Portraits
Preferably taken outdoors in natural light, these portraits start with traditional poses and move to relaxed, interactive shots.
I may take the couple out during the reception to capture the "Golden Hour."
Wedding Party
Photos I take both traditional and relaxed group photos of the wedding party.
If individual portraits of bridal party members are desired, please let me know.
The Reception
I photograph the reception candidly, capturing the atmosphere and guest interactions.
If you prefer posed table shots, inform me in advance.
I also shoot key moments like the entrance, first dances, cake cutting, and general dancing, focusing on candid and natural expressions.
PUBLISHED EDITORIALS & AWARDS
My work is recognized internationally, my photos are featured, and have been awarded by renowned associations including Fearless, WPJA, WPS, and many others.
WEDDING TESTIMONIALS

INCREDIBLE
I don't even know where to start talking about Stefano and how incredible he was on our wedding day. Aside from capturing beautiful photos, he was calm and kind and made us comfortable throughout the whole day. I don't even know how he got the shots he did because we barely saw him once the ceremony got going. I cannot recommend him enough!!!!

ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT
Stefano was absolutely brilliant. Such easy, efficient, organised communication from the start even before we met you in person. Our wedding photos are just wonderful - exactly what we wanted for our special day. Stefano was incredibly professional, discrete and a lovely calm quiet presence, capturing the most wonderful candid, hidden moments on our special day. We didn't know he was there and such a brilliant day - loved re-living it through all the amazing photos.
Thank you so much!
