Questions You Might Be Wondering
When should we book Ivan (Giovanni)?
Love stories deserve time to unfold. I suggest reaching out as soon as your wedding date is confirmed. Ideally, no later than 2–3 months before the celebration. For destination weddings—especially in Italy—a little extra time helps us plan your perfect experience together.
Do you travel outside Italy?
Yes, with joy. Italy is my heart, but I believe love stories belong everywhere. Wherever your journey takes you, I’m ready to follow and capture those unforgettable moments.
What does a typical package include?
Every wedding is unique, so I craft each package to suit your needs. Usually, it means full-day coverage, a thoughtful pre-wedding chat, carefully edited images, and an easy-to-share online gallery. We can also add multi-day shoots, fashion-inspired sessions, or custom albums — whatever fits your vision.
How would you describe your photography style?
I tell stories with light, emotion, and elegance. My approach blends cinematic moments with editorial refinement, capturing both the grand and intimate details that make your day truly yours.
We’re a bit camera-shy. Can you help?
Absolutely. Many couples feel that way at first. I guide you gently, making sure every pose and moment feels natural and true to you, relaxed, confident, and completely at ease.
How long until we see our photos?
Within days after your wedding, I’ll send you a few special sneak peeks to relive the magic. The full, beautifully finished gallery will arrive within 4 to 6 weeks, ready to treasure forever.
What if plans change?
Life is beautifully unpredictable. If you need to adjust dates or coverage, just let me know. We’ll find a way to keep your story on track — your experience always comes first.
How many photos will we receive in the final gallery?
I carefully curate the selection to ensure you receive only the best images—ones where you look and feel your best—while avoiding unnecessary duplicates. On average, expect around 50 edited photos per hour of shooting.
Do you shoot with a film camera?
Yes! I love shooting on film. It brings a timeless atmosphere and a unique color palette that digital simply can’t replicate.
Are drone photos available?
A bird’s-eye view of breathtaking locations adds something truly special to your story. I do work with a drone and highly recommend it—especially for ceremonies in stunning landscapes.
Do you retouch the photos?
My retouching approach is subtle and natural. I enhance each image so that you still look like you, just polished. I’ll gently correct temporary distractions—like blemishes—while keeping the authenticity of the moment intact.
