Frequently Asked Questions

Where are you based and do you travel for shoots?

I’m based in Rome, Italy, but I love to travel! Whether it’s a local wedding, an Italian countryside elopement, or a destination celebration abroad, I’m happy to join you.

How would you describe your photography style?

My style is minimal, natural, and understated — focused on capturing genuine emotions, timeless beauty, and life’s fleeting moments.

Do you offer engagement or pre-wedding shoots?

Yes! Engagement and pre-wedding sessions are a beautiful way to get comfortable in front of the camera and capture your love story before the big day.

How many photos will we receive, and delivered?

You’ll receive a curated collection of fully edited, high-resolution images in a private online gallery — ready to view, share, and download.

How far in advance should we book you?

Weddings and elopements are often booked 6–12 months in advance. For smaller sessions, a few weeks’ notice is usually enough, but the sooner, the better.

Do you offer custom packages?

Absolutely. Every love story is unique, so I’m happy to tailor a package that fits your needs and vision.
