Wedding Photography
We specialize in capturing weddings with a blend of editorial precision and candid authenticity. Our approach preserves both grand celebrations and intimate moments through film, digital, and Super8 formats. Couples receive timeless imagery that reflects their unique story while enjoying a seamless experience guided by our creative direction.
Elopement Photography
Our elopement packages include location curation, timeline planning, and styling guidance for stress-free celebrations. We document authentic moments in iconic Italian settings like Lake Como and Amalfi Coast using hybrid film/digital formats. Services include vendor coordination and local expertise to create personalized experiences without needing a planner.
Couples Photography
We create editorial-quality portraits that capture relationship dynamics in scenic locations. Sessions focus on natural interactions rather than posed shots, using golden-hour lighting and cinematic composition. Available as standalone bookings or as part of wedding packages, with styling guidance included.
Film Photography
Our film photography services preserve moments with organic textures and timeless quality. We use 35mm film for its rich depth and natural grain, carefully exposed to create intentional, artistic images. This format complements digital coverage by adding nostalgic elements to final galleries.
Super8 Video
We offer Super8 video to add cinematic movement to your story. This vintage format records on physical film reels, creating dreamy, nostalgic footage with warm textures. Ideal for capturing vows, first dances, and ambient moments that transform into living memories with its distinctive flickering motion.
