Matteo

I’m a stubborn dreamer, head over heels in love with freedom, love, and, yes, panzerotti! For 11 years, I lived a life that didn’t feel like mine—a soldier’s life, a job that kept me from being truly free. But my longing to do something that made me happy led me, almost by chance, to photography.

In 2014, when I was offered a “permanent job,” I took a leap into the unknown. I walked away from security to embrace wedding photography. The freedom to “do my own thing” was the fire that pushed me to follow this path, no compromises allowed.

The struggles along the way shaped me, and today, I feel exactly where I’m meant to be: telling the most beautiful stories—the kind you never forget.

I was born in Naples, a city that taught me to find beauty in the unexpected. Now I live in Puglia, a place that’s become my home and daily inspiration with its vibrant colors and rich flavors.

After studying biotechnology, I realized it wasn’t my path. Photography found me in 2011, like a lifeline I couldn’t let go of. I dove in as a self-taught photographer, and in 2015, I shot my first wedding.

Traveling is another huge source of inspiration for me. I love travel photography for the sense of freedom it gives me, but wedding photography is where I express myself on a deeper level—artistically and personally.

Two different paths

a single vision

We met in 2019, and by 2021, we decided to merge not just our lives but also our biggest passion—working together. We live in Puglia, where we dreamed of and built our home. White dominates the space, meeting the blue of the sky—our favorite colors brought to life in this place. Our home is filled with plants and our little poodle, Cuba, who we love endlessly. We’ve created the perfect space that reflects us in every detail.

We love photographing weddings because it gives us the freedom to express ourselves, capturing unique stories with authenticity. Every wedding takes us to places others might never see—beautiful spots where love between two people takes center stage. It’s a privilege to discover new cultures, traditions, and people, drawing inspiration from every new experience.

We tell each story naturally and elegantly, without forcing anything, letting emotions guide us.

Knowing that our photos will be part of someone’s life forever—that’s what makes our work so special.

WE HAVE RECEIVED SEVERAL awards:
