STEFANO FERRIER
WEDDING  PHOTOGRAPHER   THROUGHOUT  IRELAND

A Fascinating Tale...

​

 

I am Stefano and I am originally from Milan, Italy.

 

One day I decided to move to Ireland and due to my role as an Italian Wedding Photographer, I've gained considerable popularity throughout Ireland.

​

​

That said, let's step back...

​​

Photography was never a part of my life.

 

My childhood was filled with playing with toy cars, cycling around, watching TV, and listening to music.

​

Fast forward to the '80s, when I navigated through school, video games, band rehearsals, and lively evenings with friends in the vibrant Milanese club scene.

It was a time of carefree exploration.

 

As the '90s dawned, I found stability with a permanent job in a small commercial company in Milan.

 

This newfound independence allowed me to indulge in whims like motorcycles, guitars, and music school.

 

Entering the 2000s, I changed jobs thrice, eventually finding myself as a technical project manager, a role that allowed me to travel extensively.

 

However, photography remained a distant thought in my mind.

​

Then came the pivotal year 2010—a motorcycle accident and fibula fracture led me to a few months of forced downtime.

 

Determined to make the most of it, I experimented with hobbies like musical productions, balcony gardening, cooking recipes, and even delving into the intricacies of chess.

​

One day, I stumbled upon a compact camera in my girlfriend's drawer, thinking it could add a touch of interest to my days.

 

What intrigued me most about that camera was its dual functionality—automatic and manual.

 

I could play with shutter speeds and apertures, creating something entirely different.

 

The very next day, I found myself in a bookstore buying photography books.

 

Within a few months, I enrolled at the Italian Institute of Photography in Milan.

 

Shortly thereafter, I embarked on my journey into photography, launching my business in Milan, capturing the essence of models and individuals.
