Wedding Photographer in Italy. Creating legacy through photographs. Moments otherwise forgotten.

Film & digital destination wedding photography in Italy!

The storytelling through pictures comes to life through a blend of film and digital wedding photography in Italy, where spontaneity meets intention.

My approach remains candid and unobtrusive: I observe quietly, letting moments unfold in their own rhythm, guided only by light and intuition.

Long gone are the days when you needed to pose for your wedding pictures. I won’t control the space or ask your guests to stop; instead, I move softly, capturing genuine emotions as they happen, a spontaneous narrative told through images.

Working with both film and digital photography allows me to merge precision with nostalgia. Film adds texture, warmth, and an imperfect beauty reminiscent of timeless memories, while digital ensures every delicate nuance is preserved.

Together, they create a visual story that feels both editorial and intimate, a collection of images that not only show how your wedding looked, but how it truly felt.

Wedding photographer Italy for international couples!

My wedding photography in Italy sees it all, from the bride’s impeccable beauty to the groom’s eyes filled with gratitude. My job and my talent is to create photos that will stand the taste of time.

My eye is constantly searching for the small moments.  The ones you might otherwise miss if not for the image you now have forever.  To remember not just how you looked – but how you felt.

I like a balanced mix between reportage and refined images. Candid shots and creative portraits merge into an elegant and refined composition, with a clear preference for original, authentic, exciting images.

Besides couple portraits, I love photographing the details: accessories, set-ups… everything that makes each event unique and shows how much the couple care about their special day.

It’s not what you look at that matters, it’s what you see.

As soon as we discovered Cristiana's work, we didn't have the slightest doubt about choosing her for our wedding. Professionalism, discretion, kindness and sympathy make her a very special person. She immediately put us at ease and was more than available to any request, even the most particular ones. The photos are just works of art!

We were delighted with Cristiana's work. She managed to capture every moment of the day and at the same time let us take beautiful "posed" but natural and not constructed photos. The photos are simply wonderful, all our guests loved her and her work. Also noteworthy is the speed with which she delivers the final service.

We couldn't ask for more!

Cristiana turned out to be as helpful and nice as she is professional and punctual. Thanks to her we have beautiful photos of our wedding, natural and with perfect management of the light. We liked the photos so much that many guests asked us to pass the photos to them to print a copy privately. As a plus, she speaks excellent English .Warmly recommended!!

Meeting Cristiana was a real stroke of luck! I was afraid of not finding the right person to keep some beautiful shots of the wedding and, instead, I found a true artist who with her camera was able to capture all the emotions of the day. Never intrusive and always kind, she created a real reportage without missing any moment by taking original and emotional photos.

I was already impressed by Cristiana's photographic style when I decided to contact her. I then discovered with pleasure that she is a very sweet and nice girl with whom you feel totally at ease during the shooting! She accepted all our requests and managed to capture the magic of that day. The photos arrived in a very short time, and we loved them all!

FAQ

Ready to answer to all of your questions and needs

My approach is documentary. I work quietly in the background, letting moments unfold rather than directing them. Most couples tell me afterwards that they barely noticed I was there, which is exactly what I’m aiming for.

Alongside the candid, unobtrusive work, I have an eye for editorial compositions: light, geometry, the small detail that tells the story of the day. The result is a collection that feels both natural and refined, not staged, but not random either. I shoot both film and digital, and the two together give the final gallery a texture and range that neither medium achieves alone.

Yes! I’m based in Italy and I photograph weddings across the whole country. I’ve worked in Tuscany (Chianti, Val d’Orcia, Florence, Siena, Lucca), on the Amalfi Coast (Ravello, Positano, Sorrento), in Rome and the Castelli Romani, on Lake Como (Villa Balbianello, Bellagio, Varenna), in Venice, Puglia, and the Dolomites.

Travel within Italy is included in my packages for most destinations. I’ll always be transparent about this in the quote.

Yes, and it’s something I genuinely love. I shoot film alongside digital on most weddings — not as a trend, but because the two media do different things.

Digital gives precision and consistency; film gives warmth, grain, and a quality of light that feels closer to how we remember things than how a camera usually records them. The film is developed and scanned in Italy, it typically takes around one week and the film images are delivered alongside the digital ones as part of the same gallery.

Yes. I edit every image individually. There’s no batch processing or preset applied uniformly across the gallery. My editing style is natural and restrained: I work on exposure, colour balance, and contrast to bring out what was already there in the light, not to impose a look onto it. I don’t use heavy filters or dramatic colour grading. The goal is for the images to look like the day actually felt.

Yes! Fill in the contact form with your date, venue, and a rough idea of what you’re looking for, and I’ll come back to you within 24 hours with a detailed proposal. If you’re still in the early stages of planning and don’t have all the details yet, that’s completely fine. We can start with a conversation and build from there.

 

A deposit of 20% is required to confirm the date and sign the contract. The remaining 80% is due before the wedding day. The deposit is what holds your date; until it’s paid, the date remains available to other couples. I accept bank transfer and most major payment methods.

Between 500 and 800 fully edited, high-resolution images delivered via a private online gallery. The exact number depends on the length of the day and the type of event. Every image is individually edited.

Within a few days of the wedding I’ll send a small selection of highlights so you have something to share straight away. The complete gallery is delivered within 90 days of the wedding date.

If you’ve booked film photography alongside digital, the film images are included in the same gallery.

I cover the full day, from preparations (usually starting 2–3 hours before the ceremony) through to the end of the reception, typically the cake cutting or first dances. For most weddings in Italy this means 8 to 10 hours on location. I don’t leave when the light runs out or when I’ve hit a certain number of images. I stay until the day is done. 

I stay until the day is done. If you need extra time on the same day; a longer reception, a late-night moment worth capturing, or simply a day that runs over, that’s always possible to arrange and can be added on the day itself.

Normally I send a few highlights a couple of days after the wedding and I deliver the entire gallery 90 days after the wedding date. 

Yes. I offer custom-designed albums produced by high-quality Italian and European labs, delivered directly to your home anywhere in the world.

The design process is collaborative, you’ll review everything before it goes to print. I also offer fine art prints for individual images. I’d recommend waiting 2–3 months after receiving the gallery before ordering an album; you’ll have a clearer sense of your favourites once the initial excitement has settled.

For elopements and intimate weddings with fewer than 30 guests I usually work alone, a single unobtrusive presence is often more effective for documentary work than two photographers moving around the space.

For larger weddings, or when you want simultaneous coverage of separate preparations, I bring a second photographer whose style is consistent with mine. This is included in my larger packages or available as an add-on.

A wedding is confirmed once we’ve signed a contract and I’ve received the 20% deposit. Before that, I’m happy to have a video call, share full galleries from recent weddings similar to yours, and answer any questions you have.

I work on a first-come, first-served basis for dates, so if you’re interested in a specific date it’s worth reaching out sooner rather than later.

Yes. Pre-wedding shoots — in Rome, Florence, the Amalfi Coast, or wherever you’re based before the wedding — are something I actively encourage. They’re a good way to get comfortable in front of the camera before the day itself, and they produce images that are genuinely different from what you’ll get at the wedding.

I also cover welcome dinners, brunches, and any other events that are part of your celebration. Just let me know what you’re planning and I’ll put together something that fits.

Your gallery will be accessible for a minimum of one year from the delivery date. I’d recommend downloading the full resolution files as soon as you receive them and keeping a personal backup; an external hard drive and a cloud service is a good combination. The gallery is a convenient access point, but your own copy is the safest long-term archive.
