WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY, UNSCRIPTED
It was always about the people
The place may be extraordinary.
The table may be beautiful.
The light may be perfect.
But the story begins elsewhere: in the people who crossed countries to be there, in the relationships that fill a room, and in the small gestures no one planned.
That is what I pay attention to.
The photograph is never the first thing.
First comes curiosity. Then attention.
I read the room, learn its rhythm and notice how people belong to one another. Sometimes I give direction; more often, I make space.
The photographs come from being present—close enough to understand, quiet enough not to interrupt.
Italian roots. Seventeen years in America. Twenty-five years watching people.
Living and working between two cultures taught me how quickly a room can change—and how much can be understood without being said.
I returned to Italy with the experience of hundreds of weddings and the same curiosity I had at the beginning.
I photograph a limited number of celebrations each year, personally and with care. If you choose me, I will be the photographer who arrives, listens and stays with you throughout the day.
In their words
Danielle & Kyle
Querceto di Castellina, Chianti Italy
“By the end of the wedding, you’ll feel like you have a new favorite Italian friend.”
Fabrizia & Simone
Villa Ca' Conti, Padova Italy
“Since the first meeting, we immediately clicked with Marco. He is very easy-going and a kind spirit.”
BASED IN ITALY
From here, anywhere.
Based between Umbria and Veneto, I photograph weddings throughout Italy—from places I know intimately to locations I have never seen before.
Elsewhere changes the light, never the reason.
Before we talk about photographs, tell me about the people.
I would love to know where you are gathering, who is coming, and what you hope the days around your wedding will feel like.
