Kelsey and Sean hadn't found the right photographer yet. Then, three weeks before flying to Italy, they messaged me.
Kelsey and Sean were getting married in Tuscany, an ocean away from everyone they knew back in the US.
They were still looking for the right photographer, but none of the people they spoke with truly matched the experience they wanted for their wedding day.
Three weeks before the wedding, they reached out to me. They didn't have a clear reason. Just a feeling they hadn't found the right person yet, and very little time left to decide.
We had one call. Not a sales pitch, but a genuine conversation about how they wanted their day to feel, once you set aside the flights, the vendors, and the time difference.
It was a small ceremony, with only their closest family members who had flown to Italy for the occasion. No second takes, no do-overs everyone was there for one day only, thousands of miles from home.
By the end of our conversation, Kelsey and Sean asked for something I don't always suggest myself: a full wedding album.
Not to show it off, but because they wanted something tangible to take home with them. A reminder that all of it had really happened, in a place none of them had grown up in.
Their message after the wedding was:
"We were looking for the right photographer, and we realized we'd found him. You made us feel like our wedding mattered to you just as much as it mattered to us—even from the other side of the world."
That's the kind of trust I try to build with every couple who crosses an ocean to get married here.
It's not just about documenting the day. It's about making sure it still feels like their wedding, even in a country that isn't their own.
If you're planning your wedding in Tuscany from the US and want to talk things through before making a decision, reach out. No pressurejust a conversation.
