David, I still can't believe how perfectly you captured our Capri wedding. From our first video call when we were planning everything from Chicago, your professionalism and genuine excitement put us completely at ease.
On the wedding day, you were incredible. You anticipated moments before they happened, moved through our celebration so naturally, and made us feel completely comfortable in front of the camera.
These images are beyond anything we imagined, timeless, emotional, and so authentically us.
We're grateful forever.

FILM Photography:
A HANDCRAFTED Extra
There’s something irreplaceable about film photography. The colors, the textures, the subtle imperfections that make each frame truly unique. Film can’t be replicated digitally because it’s not just about the image, it’s about the medium itself. Every shot is handcrafted, deliberate, and one of a kind.
For couples who want something beyond the ordinary, film photography adds a timeless, romantic dimension to your wedding story. The grain, the depth, the way light behaves on film creates images that feel both nostalgic and eternal. This isn’t just an aesthetic choice, it’s about creating tangible art that can never be exactly duplicated.
Film photography can be added to any collection, giving you two complementary looks: the clarity and coverage of digital alongside the organic beauty of film. Together, they create a complete visual narrative that honors both precision and artistry.
More than a photographer , your creative partner in Italy.
MEET DAVID
With years of experience photographing destination weddings across Italy and Europe, I understand what it takes to plan something truly effortless from overseas.
My approach blends editorial elegance with emotional storytelling. Creating images that are not only beautiful, but deeply felt.
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.
Every image is an invitation,
to FEEL, to REMEMBER, to RELIVE
Your wedding day unfolds in moments, some grand, some whisper-quiet, but all of them fleeting. My role is to capture not just what these moments looked like, but how they felt. The way your heart raced during your first look, the warmth of your mother’s embrace, the uncontrollable laughter shared with your closest friends. These are the emotions that define your celebration, and they deserve to be preserved with the same care and artistry you’ve invested in every other detail of your day.
I believe the most powerful wedding photographs are those that transport you back to the exact feeling of a moment, not just its appearance. Years from now, when you turn the pages of your album, you shouldn’t just see beautiful images. You should feel the butterflies, hear the music, smell the flowers, and remember exactly why you chose to celebrate your love in that particular place, in that particular way. This is the difference between documentation and storytelling, between capturing a moment and preserving its soul.
My approach blends the sophistication of editorial photography with the authenticity of documentary storytelling. Inspired by fashion photography, I create images that are both timeless and deeply personal. Sophisticated enough to grace the pages of a magazine, yet intimate enough to make you cry when you see them for the first time. Because your wedding isn’t just an event to be photographed. It’s a love story that deserves to be felt, remembered, and relived for generations to come.
Let's Make Sure Your Date Is Still Available
I intentionally limit the number of weddings I photograph each year to offer a deeply personal, emotional, and artistic experience to every couple.
ARTISTRY in every detail, EMOTION in every frame

Dear David,
FAQ
Our primary aim is to craft a compelling narrative of your special day, capturing every moment as it naturally unfolds. With an unobtrusive presence, we document events big and small, ensuring your love story shines through in every frame. We love setting aside some private time for just the two of you away from the crowd. It’s a chance for you to revel in the joy of being newlyweds and for us to create beautiful, relaxed couple portraits. During the day, you can expect a relaxed atmosphere allowing you to enjoy every moment authentically.
If you decide to entrust me with capturing your special day, we’ll send over all the necessary booking forms, T&Cs, and deposit details. Simply return the completed booking form alongside a 25% deposit, and your date will be secured in our calendar. The remaining balance is due one month before your wedding day.
We understand how eager you’ll be to relive your magical day through the photographs. Your final gallery, carefully curated in our signature style, will be delivered within 2-3 weeks of your wedding day. As a little treat, we’ll provide a preview of your cherished moments just a few days after the wedding, so you can cherish those early memories while eagerly awaiting the full gallery.
Throughout your entire day, me (David), will be by your side, preserving every precious moment. For larger weddings (over 120 guests), we recommend a second shooter from our network of trusted photographers to effectively capture every detail of your celebration.
If your love story takes you to extraordinary places, I’m more than willing to join the adventure. Travel in Spain, Portugal or Italy is included in our full day wedding collection #1 and #2.
CHERISH THE MOMENTS, KEEP THEM FOREVER
Because the times we have now, we won't have them back. That is why we have beautiful memories to keep them close to our hearts.
SO, WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?
LET'S CELEBRATE
