HOW TO CHOOSE THE RIGHT WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER

You can easily search online how to choose the perfect wedding photographer. You will find an enormous list of tips, blogs, and sites that will carefully guide you. So why do I bother to write a blog about it? Because as an alternative, inclusive, gay-friendly wedding photographer based in London, I understand the importance of finding the right photographer. In all the meetings with my new couples, I often explain my work, photography, and my ethos to ensure that I fit their expectations best. 
I need my couples to be HAPPY with their wedding pictures. I want to fulfil their vision. I don’t want any disappointment.

Get to know me and my photographic style

I am originally from Italy. Living now in London, married to an Anglo-Caribbean creative soul, my best friend. Based in a very green part of the capital, Wimbledon. 
I believe in inclusion, diversity and sustainability, these are my most important values. I love celebrating people's uniqueness in all their forms and shape.

Photographically my style is warm, fluid and quite photojournalistic. I like documenting the event as it unfolds rather than interfering with a heavy presence. I like getting very close to my subjects and love strong crops. One of my clients commented that 'your photography is very intimate and powerful’. I really love to capture the energy between two people. Typically in the story of your wedding day, you will find many details of the venue, surroundings, facial expressions, happy moments, fun moments, colourful elements, and the magic of lights. Give yourself time when looking at my work. Browse through and then walk away. Come back later and look again. Ask yourself do I like what I see? And why do I like it? Can you see yourself in these pictures? Do you feel connected? If the answer is yes, let’s talk about booking me to photograph your wedding. 
I’m not a hard seller. I will never try to convince you that I’m the one. I will always do my best to help you, but the decision is yours, it's for both of you. There is nothing more that I wish than to make my couple happy. Please allow me to add that money should not heavily influence your choice.

Your wedding photographs are important. We are talking about something that will stay with you for many years to come. So take all the time you need to decide what is right for you, and please remember, regardless of your decision, I’m here for you to help if you need me to!
