Intimate Couple Shoot at Villa Cipressi in Lake Como

As a wedding photographer in Italy, I’ve had the honor of capturing countless love stories against the backdrop of this romantic and picturesque country. One such memorable experience was Vanessa and Riccardo’s intimate couple shoot at Villa Cipressi, located in the charming town of Varenna on Lake Como.

"My style can be described as timeless, elegant and romantic, with a touch of nostalgia woven into each frame. I see myself as a visual storyteller. I believe in capturing not only moments, but also the emotions, laughter and tears that make each wedding day so special.”

My approach blends documentary-style photography with touches of fashion and nostalgia to create timeless, sophisticated imagery. I believe in preserving the true colors of your day—the way I saw them through my own eyes. Every wedding is a unique story, and I feel honored to tell it through photographs that feel both natural and refined.

If you share my love for natural beauty, true emotions, and timeless elegance, I’d be thrilled to tell your story, too.
