ABOUT ME
Before you read the info on how I work, you need to know these details about me
Before you dive into how I roll, here are a few things you should know about me:
I’m obsessed with Tuscany—it’s my home, my everything, and I couldn’t live without it!
I love cooking, even though not everything I make is a masterpiece.
I’m a total foodie, and I’m into both Italian and international cuisine.
I’m all about dogs, cats, and pretty much any animal out there.
I love traveling—used to be a big traveler, and I’m hoping to find the time to get back into it soon.
Lastly, I’m super thankful for all the people I’ve met in my life who’ve made me who I am today,
showing me friendship, loyalty, and love. Some of them are in these simple phone pics,
and many more are in my heart.
How I started
1992 was a game-changer for me. I’ve always been obsessed with cars and fast races, so I decided to buy my first DSLR, combining my biggest passion with another love—photography. At first, shooting Formula 1 and races was just a hobby, a way to spice up my quiet, everyday life as a computer programmer. But a few years later, after a tough experience, I realized how much photography was a part of me and how it could shake up the too-quiet life I knew had to change. So no, I didn’t become a sports photographer, but I did go pro. Today, thanks to my love for fast cars and bikes, I’m a wedding photographer who still hasn’t forgotten his first love—I’m still all about those races!
Life-changing events and people
They say you never know which event will change your life, and sometimes what at first looks like a disaster can turn into your biggest blessing. I can confirm that—it happened to me. In 2007, my over-the-top love for racing and motorcycles led to a serious crash. I spent five months in the hospital, which gave me a lot of time to think and take stock of my life, and I realized it was time to take stock of my life… During my recovery, I realized I needed to make a big change and start giving real meaning to what I was doing. That’s when photography, which at the time was just a passion, became my profession.
WEDDINGS
When I first picked up a camera a few years back, I never would’ve guessed I’d end up as a wedding photographer. I started out with my first studio in Montevarchi, near Florence, trying out different styles and figuring out what the local crowd wanted. Over time, I realized what I really wanted to capture in my photos was emotion—something still life or classic studio shots just couldn’t offer. Real people, their expressions, their feelings—that’s what I was after. So, choosing wedding photography just felt right, because it’s all about capturing those authentic human emotions in every form.
Capturing emotions
Being drawn to things that are different from us is just human nature, and sometimes even beingthrown off by them, because they reflect the opposite of who we are. I’ve always found it challenging to show my emotions and sensitivity, to be my true self, and just let go, showing my vulnerable side. Maybe that’s why I’m so drawn to weddings: the chance to capture emotions that are genuine and unfiltered, without the concern of showing who you really are and what you’re feeling. A smile, a genuine laugh, tears you try to hide, or a heartfelt hug—these small moments really captivate me, and that’s what my photography is all about. Posed shots with fake emotions
aren’t my thing; I’m all about real, spontaneous moments.
Reaching higher than we ever thought
II never would have imagined reaching the kind of success I’ve had in the past few years. Sure, I had dreams, but I thought achieving them this quickly was almost impossible. I’ve won some big awards and even made it onto the list of the best wedding photographers in the world. Prestigious magazines have published articles about my work and style, the same kind of reviews I used to read 20 years ago when I was just starting out. I’ve been invited to teach at top photography schools in Europe (EFTI in Madrid really stood out for me), sharing my knowledge with photographers and students from around the globe. Even today, after so many years, I’m still doing this work with the same passion and drive, and it’s without a doubt a cornerstone of my life.
