Italy Wedding Photography

I LOVE TO TRAVEL AND I AM SO LUCKY TO HAVE MOST OF MY WEDDINGS EACH YEAR IN ITALY!

I didn’t set out to be a photographer in Italy, many years ago I photographed my friends wedding at Villa San Crispolto in Tuscany and the wedding planner loved my style and approach. I was invited to a meeting with the wedding planner as he saw the benefits of having an English speaking photographer for destination couples, I am now his most requested wedding photographer!

Over the years the demand for my work has grown and I have found myself at more Italian wedding venues with multiple wedding planners. The demand for my work has now seen me working on the Amalfi CoastTuscany and The Italian Lakes at some amazing locations. I love how invested people are for the wedding, both the couples and the guests. It takes a lot to get all of the closest people you know out to Italy and to create an amazing wedding day, and that investment comes out in the photos and we make some amazing memories to last a lifetime.

Because you are flying me out for your wedding, I give you everything. I only offer full day coverage to capture the bridal preparations right through to the carnage on the dancefloor! I can also cover after party BBQ’s and pool parties as I like to give flexibility to my couples. This will be the most important trip of your life, let us document it together and make some amazing photos along the way.

Tuscany

With the stunning rolling hills of Tuscany and dreamy sunsets, there truly is no better place for a destination wedding. With private villas and views to die for Tuscany gives many options for a romantic Italian wedding.

Amalfi Coast

The breath-taking Amalfi coast is the perfect backdrop for a stylish Italian wedding. Sorrento is the main wedding location with many private villas, but around the coast gives other opportunities such as Positano and Ravello.

ITALY DESTINATION WEDDING

The south west region of Italy with its rolling hills and amazing views give wedding guests the opportunities to explore the area, or just laze by the pool at the Villa. It gives an alternative to other wedding locations such as France or Spain. Tuscany has an amazing backdrop during the golden hour sunset time that I so love for couple portraits. It is also very easy to get to with a short 2 hour drive flight from most UK airports.
