Alessandra + Paolo - Engagement Session in Oltrepò

Con certe coppie è amore a prima vista. Ci è successo proprio questo con Alessandra e Paolo, già dal primo incontro in cui ci hanno raccontato tutti i dettagli bellissimi che avevano pensato per il loro matrimonio, e ancora di più quando ci siamo rivisti per scattare la loro engagement session sul fiume, con un bouquet di lavanda, qualche polaroid, e candele che non rimanevano accese.

Questa coppia ha davvero qualcosa da insegnare sull'Amore.

With some couples is love at first sight. That's what happened with Alessandra and Paolo, when we first met them and listened to all the great ideas they had for their wedding day, and even more when we shot their engagement session on the river, with a lavender bouquet, some polaroids, and candles that would not stay lit.

These two can really teach something about Love.

Novella + Matteo - maternity shooting

Actually we don't love the name "maternity shooting" because you seem to lose something. That something is the feeling that, even if there's only two people and a baby bump, the people in front of you already are a real family. You can see that from Novella and Matteo's eyes, when they are looking at each other, and it's a shame you couldn't hear them talking of their soon-to-be daughter.

Beatrice was born exactly one week after this shot. We know that she will be so much loved, because she's born in a huge and amazing family - we know them so well, after one engagement session and two weddings - and we can't wait to meet her in person. 

As a friend said recently, she's a lucky girl because her parents made her the greatest gift: they truly and deeply wanted her.

Melissa - Portraits

When Melissa contacted us for a portrait session on film we were super happy! She's an amazing American film photographer in love with Italy, and we spent a great afternoon with her. Camogli was in our mind since the beginning of our conversation as a possible location. The pastel colored houses, the sea, the little church…everything screams Italy! We were lucky enough to have a little sunshine before sunset, then epic clouds and finally rain. Nothing that gelato and cappuccino can't fix.

We are what we love

We've always thought about our business as strongly connected with what we are and what we love. We put into pictures what we have seen, listened to, read, watched, and inspiration is the key to our personal journey into photography.

So, maybe, it's easier for you to get to know us better, to have a visual representation of ourselves, based on some insights in our everyday life.

Enjoy!
