THE MEDITERRANEAN, THROUGH AN EDITORIAL EYE
For celebrations shaped by fashion, place and
a true sense of occasion
Across grand villas, historic palazzi and the iconic European coastlines,
I photograph multi-day celebrations for couples who care as much about how a weekend feels as how it looks.
Fashion, architecture and Mediterranean light come together into something that reads as editorial without ever turning your celebration into a production.
THE LEGACY
Why this perspective exists
What began with my great-grandfather photographing members of European royalty has been passed down through four generations.
Today I continue that craft with a modern editorial perspective photographs made not for the season they were taken in, but for the people who will one day inherit them.

THE APPROACH
One celebration,
one visual world
A destination wedding rarely happens in a single day. A welcome dinner, an afternoon on the water, the ceremony itself, the party that follows each is photographed as its own chapter, and all of them belong to the same visual world. I direct where direction sharpens an image: the fall of a dress, the light on a terrace, the moment before you walk in. Everywhere else I stay out of the way. You should remember the evening, not the photographer.

CREATIVE
COLLABORATIONS
A peer, not a
second shooter
For the largest celebrations, I work alongside photographers who
lead their own high-end studios not a main and second shooter arrangement, but a partnership built on shared instinct and years of trust.
Every frame follows the same creative direction, so two photographers read as one eye. The result stays cohesive restrained, considered, and entirely your story, never two.
