Behind The Brand

What draws you to wedding videography?

We’ve been captivated by storytelling for as long as we can remember. Weddings allow us to capture life’s most intimate and emotional chapters, preserving them for generations. Through photo and video, we connect with people, learn from their journeys, and witness the world in all its beauty – love, laughter, and everything in between.

Storytelling is at the heart of everything we do. Weddings are the perfect canvas to celebrate human connection, capturing raw emotions, cherished traditions, and fleeting moments. Each story enriches ours, reminding us why we fell in love with photography and videography in the first place. With every couple’s journey, we grow, connect, and celebrate the beauty of life — one story, one frame, one love at a time.

How would you describe your videography/photography style?

Our photography and videography style is deeply rooted in documentary storytelling. We embrace a raw and natural approach, capturing life as it is, with all its beauty and nuances. Every frame reflects genuine emotions, allowing the moments to unfold organically without interference.

We strive to create poetic narratives that showcase the connections between people, celebrating the intricacies of each story. Our focus is on leaving no detail behind, ensuring that every emotion, every glance, and every cherished moment is preserved for generations to come.

What inspires you creatively?

The couples we document are our greatest inspiration. Their unique love stories motivate us to capture sincere and meaningful moments in their lives. We also love to travel, as exploring new places and cultures allows us to expand our view of love. Music, books, and films play a significant role in shaping our perspective as well. Every story we share is a celebration of human connection, and we are excited to tell it.

What is it that makes a photography and film magical?

Think of photography as a love letter, written in the language of light and shadow. Each photograph encapsulates emotions and moments, inviting viewers to pause, reflect, and feel the depth of love captured in an instant.

On the other hand, videography is a love song, blending sights and sounds into a beautiful symphony of emotions. It brings the story to life, allowing viewers to experience the rhythm and flow of love in a way that feels both intimate and expansive.

The magic of photography and videography lies in their ability to complement each other, together telling a deeper, more nuanced story of love and connection.

What advice would you give couples when selecting their wedding videographer?

Our top advice for couples selecting a wedding videographer or photographer is to schedule an introductory meeting. This personal interaction, whether online or face-to-face, helps ensure that you feel a connection and chemistry with them, which is vital since they will be there on your special day guiding you and accompanying you every minute. Furthermore, go beyond their social media presence; request to see full galleries and extended videos to get a true sense of their work. Finding a professional who genuinely loves what they do will ensure that your wedding day is captured with the passion and care it deserves.

Your dream location to shoot a wedding?

Our dream location to shoot a wedding is undoubtedly Italy, with a special love for the enchanting region of Tuscany. We are absolutely captivated by the stunning landscapes, rich culture, and timeless romance that this area offers. Among all the beautiful venues, La Foce holds a special place in our hearts. Its breathtaking scenery and idyllic charm create the perfect backdrop for capturing unforgettable moments of love.
