WHY I DO THIS

Becoming a professional couples, elopement and wedding photographer wasn’t something I consciously chose – photography, in a way, chose me.

I got my very first film camera as a teenager when I was passionate about travel photography. Back then, I only captured scenes completely free of people – can you believe it? It wasn’t until I took one accidental photo in Croatia, ages ago, that I ever considered photographing people at all. That day, my ‘perfect’ landscape shot was unexpectedly photobombed by an elderly couple holding hands.

When I later developed the film, that single image completely changed my perspective on photography – and, well, it transformed my life. From that moment on, I couldn’t imagine a perfect photograph without people in it. That was the beginning of my journey as a professional couples and wedding photographer in Italy.

Then I fell in love. Suddenly, the art of capturing human connections became even more magical…
