my style
My creative style is warm, energetic and intimate.
There’s a beautiful energy between two people in love, in the way they look at each other and the tenderness between you. I want you to trust me enough to forget I’m even there with my camera, so I can get close without breaking that amazing magic. I want to capture that connection, so when you look back at the photographs, you don’t just remember that moment; you feel it!
My documentary style captures every little detail as it happens.
I love documentary photography because it lets me capture the energy of a wedding as it unfolds. I know how much love and thought you’ve put into your day, and then suddenly it’s here, real, alive and happening! Rain, a late guest or even a puncture won’t stop the magic. Life keeps moving, people keep laughing, and I’m there to photograph it all as it happens!
“Paola is fun, light-hearted, engaging, endearing and passionate. Paola is also a total professional and takes every aspect of her work super seriously. As far as her pictures are concerned... she has captured the things that are most important to us; the love, the laughter and the light of our wedding. Thank you, from the bottom of our hearts.”
My photography is modern and documentary, driven by my curiosity about life and people. I love watching what’s happening around me, the expressions, gestures, laughter and little moments that tell the story of a wedding. I’m naturally warm, and I love being around people; I guess my Italian side never fails me! I work mostly in colour, with some black-and-white, and I love my wide-angle 35mm lens; if I had to choose only one lens, this would definitely be it! It lets me get close to the energy while still seeing everything happening around me. Couples have often told me that it was only through my photographs that they really saw their wedding day for the first time- the things happening around them while they were busy living it. I absolutely love that. While you’re busy getting married, I’m looking everywhere, capturing the people, the joy, the madness, and all those wonderful little moments that together make the day uniquely yours.
Being your wedding photographer means being right there with you for some of the biggest, happiest and most emotional moments of your day and life. I want you to feel completely comfortable with me, to trust me, to relax, and to enjoy yourselves. I’ll be there when you need me; I’ll help you and give you space when you need that too. While you’re busy having a good time, I’ll be watching for all those wonderful little moments you might not even notice. When the wonderful chaos is over, and life becomes quiet again, I want you to remember not only how your wedding looked but also how it felt. Your photographs will bring back the laughter, the emotion and all those moments of a very special day. Beautiful photographs matter enormously to me, but so does the experience of creating them together. I want you to remember how comfortable, happy and completely yourselves you felt with me as your wedding photographer. That matters to me more than I can say!
“We were blown away by the quality and creativity of Paola’s portfolio, also because we felt an instant connection with her. She was genuinely interested in knowing about us as a couple, our vision for the wedding and offered so much helpful advice to ensure the day would be visually special and memorable. Paola is not only very talented with the camera but also with her editing skills, possessing the ability to add a uniquely creative stylistic twist that we love. Booking Paola was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding”
