behind the lens

Meet Ivan (Giovanni)

I didn’t choose photography — it chose me. I was just 13 when I received my first camera, and from that moment, life unfolded through light and shadow. What began as quiet curiosity soon became a lifelong devotion to truth, emotion, and beauty.

Raised with a deep love for nature, Scandinavian design, and soulful simplicity, I approach weddings like poems: each moment intentional, each image a verse. My roots may be Russian, but my spirit speaks fluent Italian — warm, emotional, deeply present.

Today, I photograph weddings across Europe with a cinematic eye and a documentary soul. I’m drawn to subtle glances, morning mist, the soft fall of a veil — the kind of details you feel more than see.

  • I believe your wedding deserves more than pretty pictures.
  • It deserves atmosphere. Feeling. Cinema.
  • I want you to look back not just at how it looked — but how it felt.

The Ivan Giovanni Experience

I work with couples across Italy and beyond — people who crave authenticity, not perfection. People who laugh deeply, cry freely, and believe love is something to be felt, not staged.

If you’re dreaming of something raw, intimate, and artfully told — whether on the shores of Lake Como, under olive trees in Tuscany, or on a cliff in Amalfi — I’d be honored to tell your story through my lens.

kind words from past couples

"Hey Ivan, these shots are amazing! You’re a true artist, and we’re so grateful for the emotions you brought into our day."

The morning started with music by Ludovico Einaudi, and it instantly set the mood. All the photos are full of life — sensual, atmospheric, and deeply emotional. Thank you for being part of our story. You truly nailed it.

— VLAD & VLADISLAVA
