About

About me

I have photographed weddings in the south of Italy for twelve years: long tables under string lights, couples walking through the olive trees, guests on stone lanes. I work quietly and mostly with natural light.

Every week I post a video about one wedding: the light, the timeline and the frames I am proudest of. What I sell is for photographers starting out: my soft film presets, a wedding day timeline, a shot list, a posing guide and two courses.
