Long Story Short
Born in Florence, 50% Italian + 50% German [Ja, natürlich, ich kann auch Deutsch sprechen], I am a destination wedding photographer based in Tuscany, close to Florence. Often you can see me in Berlin. I also carry out elopements, surprise proposals, renewal of vows, engagements and families photo shoots. I perform services throughout Italy and abroad: I love traveling wherever there is a love story to tell.
LONG STORY SHORT EXTENDED EDITION
If I had to describe myself with a sentence, I would say that I’m a funny man child wandering the world and, obviously, with a lot of self-irony.
Well, even if I’m no longer a teenager, I always try to live life like a child would. Curiosity, desire to travel, discover and know new places and people, wondering the many beauties of life. Always open minded. I believe in fantasy and imagination as the maximum expression of freedom.
Self-irony. The best tool for self-criticism and open-mindedness. What would life be without? It would be a waste of time.
So, why photography? I could tell you that since I was a child I have always been fascinated by…ice cream! Saying “photography” would have been a cliché 😂
Answer is simple. Wedding and portrait photography is the most incredible job in the universe. Telling people’s emotions in their most beautiful and important moments in life is amazing and I’m honored when a couple asks me to document their love in photographs. My photography is all about connection, authenticity, feelings.

No
- Racism, violence, sexism and everything that makes a person believe he is superior to the other.

I will not ask you in any way to take embarrassing pictures. With great pleasure I will do it for you. (ok, I won’t stop you if you want)
