A destination wedding photographer that creates wedding photos that are as epic as your love story. Happy, in love, classy, minimalist, modern and romantic.

I believe in celebrating the moments you feel the most like yourself.I am the most inspired by the two in front of me, and I focus on emotions and personalities. I am driven by raw love, never-ending smiles, hidden touches and gentle kisses. I take pictures that are clean and crisp, bright and true in color, natural and relaxed.

The table is not a detail. It’s a scene.
And I think sometimes photographers forget that when photographing wedding design.

Now, don’t get me wrong, of course I want the flowers, menus, the plates and all the tiny things someone spent an unreasonable amount of time choosing. 😄
But before I get close, I want to understand the whole thing.

How does the table sit in the space?
What is happening around it?
What does the architecture add?
Where does your eye travel?
What repeats, what breaks the rhythm, what makes this table feel like this wedding and not just another beautifully styled dinner?

So I’ll photograph it from above. From far away. Through the flowers. With the architecture around it. With the couple in it. And yes, eventually I’ll get very close to that ridiculously beautiful plate too.

Great photography is about showing how all those details worked together to create a scene.
And this one definitely deserved the full treatment. 😍

The danger of photographing at an iconic destination is letting the view do all the work.

For this Positano pre-wedding session, these two brought the part no landscape could ever manufacture: EASE.
He took the wheel. She got comfy. They raised the glasses, exchanged kisses in between laughter, and for a while, the Amalfi Coast belonged only to them.

And my job was to preserve both parts: the place and the feeling.

I often say: Tight frames are feeling. Wide ones are meaning. The wide photos hold the scale of the cliffs and the grandeur of Positano, while the closer frames hold the all that Ciara and Trevor are.

A great destination love story needs both because it should bring you back to exactly how it felt. And exactly where it happened.

I’m heading back to Positano very soon.
Same coast, but different people. And a completely new story waiting to be seen!

Wedding portrait itinerary: something white, something blue, something Adriatic. 😍

If you’re getting married somewhere extraordinary, I believe that your wedding photos should tell where you were. That’s why I love building the destination itself into the portrait itinerary.

On Hvar, that means leaving the land behind for a while. We took Maslina Resort’s custom Colnago 45 TS out onto the Adriatic, opened a bottle of bubbles, and had so much laughter with the portrait session that it became an experience of its own.

And that’s something I tell every couple planning a destination wedding: don’t choose an incredible place and then only photograph the venue.
Take the boat. Walk into town. Find the hidden beach. Use the landscape, the light, the sea, the things that could only happen there, and for you!

Croatia isn’t a backdrop. It’s the part of your dress code. 😉

My favorite couples? The ones who look timeless in one frame and completely lose it laughing in the next.�
The ones with impeccable taste who never take themselves too seriously.
Elegant without being stiff. Romantic without being fake. Perfectly composed one moment, then pulling each other closer and turning everything beautifully off-script the next.

That is always my favourite combination to photograph: class and fun, elegance and a little craziness, love with genuine excitement.

The best photographs should never make you choose between beautiful and real. They should give you both.

The most beautiful proposal day in Croatia. 😍

18/06/2026

Most people know Vis as the island where Mamma Mia! was filmed. I know it as the island where Brian absolutely nailed a proposal!

For weeks, Brian and I exchanged emails, planned locations, discussed timing, backup plans, and all the tiny details that nobody sees when they look at the final photos.

As part of their Croatian island-hopping adventure, Brian and Malea had already explored some of the most beautiful corners of Dalmatia. But when it came to choosing the spot for the big question, we picked Vis.

Because Vis does something magical. Time slows down there. It becomes less about schedules and notifications, and more about listening to the waves lazily rolling onto the shore, watching boats drift through the harbour, and hearing seagulls passionately arguing about absolutely everything.

It’s peaceful. Charming as heck. And just private enough for a life-changing question.

Now, I still don’t know exactly how Brian convinced Malea to walk all the way to the green lighthouse. My suggestion was simple: “Tell her the view is beautiful and she should take some selfies there.”

Whatever strategy he used… it worked. It worked perfectly. One moment they were strolling along the waterfront. The next, Brian was down on one knee.

And Malea? Completely surprised. Well… mostly surprised. 😏 Because deep down, she was secretly hoping the question was coming.
And honestly, after spending time with them, it’s not hard to understand why.

Some couples just fit.
They bring out the best in one another. They balance each other beautifully. They make life look lighter, easier, and a whole lot more fun.

And afterwards, we wandered through the little stone streets of Vis while Malea admired her new sparkly accessory approximately every seventeen seconds. 😂

And the best part was that the entire town seemed genuinely excited for them.

For one afternoon, Vis wasn’t just famous for a movie. It became the place where a new chapter began.

Sundays are for family dinners. And good dinners are basically the beating heart of every Italian wedding.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Honestly, food is one of the reasons I got married in Italy too. Which resulted with a very strategic decision of choosing a wedding dress with a corset back, so we could keep loosening it as we progressed through the four-course meal. A bride plans ahead! 😂
But this post is not about me.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It is about a couple who travelled 4,000 miles from Maine to Orvieto to embrace the beauty of an Italian wedding in its full glory: views, family, the slow pace, wine, the laughter, and most importantly… the food.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So naturally, when the second course arrived, I stole them away for a few minutes.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Just the two of them.�Two plates of gnocchi.�Two very necessary bibs.�And one tiny private dinner moment in the middle of their wedding day.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Because yes, wedding portraits are important.
But brides gotta eat.�Grooms gotta eat.�And in Italy, love is absolutely allowed to come with carbs. 🍝

One whole year of these two!!
Happy first anniversary to you Ang & Soch!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Everything about their day in Sevilla was epic: the old walls, the palms, the long dinner tables, the music, the food, crazy dancing… Every little piece felt so perfectly them.
But my favorite part will always be the way they looked at each other.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
One year ago, this was the beginning of their forever. And today, I know they are celebrating not only the wedding day, but everything they have built since. And not just as two anymore, but as three...

The moment a little ladybug landed on Erin’s shoulder, I think all of us knew this weekend was going to be blessed in the best way possible.

Maybe by luck. Maybe by love.
Or maybe by the grandparents watching over them from somewhere above the hills of Orvieto, smiling proudly at the life Erin and Nick are building together.

Their wedding weekend began with epic views, warm sunset light, and little touches of red in every corner. Aperol spritzes glowing in the sun, Peroni bottles clinking against laughter, pizzas arriving fresh from the oven faster than anyone could count, and tambourines slowly making their way onto the dance floor.

One of my favorite moments was watching Erin and Nick put on their handmade Orvieto aprons and serve gelato to the people they love most. No posing, no performance whatsoever. Just two people fully present, handing out scoops, smiles, and joy to the people they love the most.

And as the evening disappeared into warm Umbrian twilight, I kept thinking about that tiny ladybug from the beginning of the afternoon, and how I was witnessing something deeply special long before the vows even began.

I entered the room and got hit by a wave of laughter before I even saw anyone properly.
Bridesmaids everywhere. Makeup brushes flying through the air and hair sprays fully committed to their John Travolta Saturday Night Fever era.
And for one tiny second… I panicked!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
As someone who loves minimalism and clean spaces, I looked around thinking:
What exactly am I going to do here?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We ako know that wedding mornings are beautiful chaos.
Hairpins multiply like rabbits. Half the room becomes a Sephora counter. Someone is always sitting on the floor. And somehow every single surface disappears under products.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So I stopped.
Did a little 360 around the room.
And instantly knew, these two corners!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
That emerald vintage sofa wrapped in the soft window light, & the dreamy wallpaper corner with the vintage chair.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
One thing the vride told me earlier was that she didn’t really love photos of herself smiling. Which, honestly, immediately became my personal challenge. 😄
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Not because I wanted forced smiles or fake “say cheese” moments. Absolutely not!
But because I wanted her to see what everyone else already sees.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
That her happiest smile is gorgeous!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This first image became one of my favorite frames from the entire day because of that. And I think it says something so important:
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Our “imperfections” are often only visible to us.
Meanwhile, the rest of the world is quietly loving all the things we try to hide.
